15. LOSER: Other Heroes
If you weren’t wearing a costume, things were rougher at the box office. As noted, Warcraft’s international take salvaged it from bomb status but it still wasn’t enough to be called a real hit given its high budget. Alexander Skarsgard’s abs didn’t bring in the audience to make The Legend of Tarzan a super-hit. The film was also salvaged by an international take of $352 million but still not as great considering its massive $180 million budget and marketing. Even Matt Damon’s return to Jason Bourne hasn’t been able to crack $300 million globally against its own big budget (bigger than the previous movies). All of these show the risks of trying to sell a non-superhero amid the busy summer season.
