Why did Cate Blanchett's Boderlands BOMB so badly? What went wrong?


Recommended Posts

Im quite shocked how badly this movie tanked. Opened with only $8.6 million in the US just a few weeks ago and has been pulled from cinema already finishing at $15 million. It had ha budget of $120 million. 

 

In fact it bombed harder than CATS.

 

Has to be the biggest bomb in history of mainstream movies?

 

Was it Cate Blanchetts fault? Who to blame?

I think I remember reading that when Cate signed on it was supposed to be an entirely different project with a different script and director.

What a shame. You know she regrets this project. What a stain in her iconic filmography..

it looks really bad and didn't appeal to the target demographic. young gamers don't care about having Cate and JLC in the film

Even after spending dozens of hours playing Borderlands games in the past, I have no clue what the plot is. The gameplay is great, but --

She's almost 60 and she's playing a character who is supposed to be in her 20s. Atrocious casting.

Although a phenomenal actress, Cate has never been a box office pull. In all of her box office hits, she's either just a co-star or with a big ensemble cast so you can't really expect her to reign in big audiences on her own, certainly not when the movie is that bad..

What is this habit on here of prefixing the title with the woman when it flops

Just goes to show that not every actors project needs to be acclaimed

Not everyone can be an acclaimed box office elixir
