[TV리포트=강지호 기자] 역대급 기대작으로 손꼽혔지만 박스오피스에서 1억 6,870만 달러(한화 약 2,421억 원)의 손해를 본 것으로 추정되는 영화가 화제다.
A film initially hailed as a potential blockbuster is now facing scrutiny after reportedly losing an estimated $168.7 million (approximately ₩242.1 billion) at the box office, according to reports on February 17, 2026.
The movie, which generated significant buzz leading up to its release with a high-profile cast, has also become a frequent subject in discussions about cinematic disappointments. It’s even garnered multiple nominations for the Golden Raspberry Awards, which recognize the worst in film. The film’s struggles have also sparked backlash from fans of the original source material.
The financial failure underscores the challenges inherent in the film industry, where high expectations and substantial investments don’t always translate into commercial success. This situation highlights the risks studios take when backing large-scale productions.
