And Bill Skarsgård’s eyeliner didn’t help.
Not that anyone seriously expected the remake of “The Crow” to be a runaway success, but its execution surprised even the skeptics.
Rupert Sanders did his best to present a decent job: he changed the presentation of the plot, selected popular actors, took care of safety on the set…
But it didn’t live up to Lionsgate’s expectations.
With a budget of $50,000,000, the crime melodrama only earned 18 665 978.
According to Collider’s calculations, the box office gross was around $59 per theater. Since one ticket costs $12-15, there were about four spectators in the house.
To be fair, the creators initially took on a risky project.
The film hasn’t even been released yet and it’s already been met with criticism, including from Alex Proyas, the director of the original 1994 drama.
“The Crow” is not just a movie. Brandon Lee died while he was working on it, and it was finished as a testament to lost talent. This is his legacy. It should remain that way,” he says.
As for the public, they didn’t like Sanders’ attempt to create an independent narrative.
James O’Barr’s comic strip was left with almost nothing, the focus shifted from revenge to vanilla teen romance, and there was no sense of sincerity in a single line.
As a result, it received a 22% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and bitter disappointment in critic reviews.
