Seventh Son – $85 million
As you undoubtedly already know, even casting high-profile actors won’t guarantee ticket sales. In fact, if the movie fails, as Seventh Son did, it can leave a permanent mark on their acting careers. Although people were excited to learn that Jeff Bridges, Kit Harington, and Ben Barnes were going to be in Seventh Son, there was nothing they could do to revive a dead script.
Thanks to unconvincing on-screen chemistry and cheesy special effects, Seventh Son wound up losing $85 million. It was featured on 2015’s list of Riskiest Box Office Bets and did nothing to convince audiences why it was a good movie. Jeff Bridges was praised for his acting, but everyone else would bore you to sleep.
