When will people finally wake up to the fact that film stars who can open a movie is a concept that no longer exist in Hollywood? If you take a look at the box office number of the past couple of years you’ll realize that NO ONE in Hollywood can open a movie solely on their own anymore. I’m not even talking about Tom’s contemporaries like Fassbender and Cumberbatch. Even Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr, Angeline Jolie and Brad Pitt (together in a movie) have had box office flops in the recent years. People have stopped going to movie because of who stars in them. The only sure fire way for a studio to make money off a film now is FRANCHISES! which is why we’re seeing all these sequels, prequels, and reboots.
Take a look at some of the biggest Flops of 2015, almost all of them had A-list stars in them.
Pan with Hugh Jackman was a flop.
Mortedcai with Johnny freaking Depp was a flop.
Aloha with Bradely Cooper, Rachel McAdams and Emma Srone was a flop.
Serena with Bradely Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence was a flop.
By The Sea with Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie was a flop.
The Gunman with Sean Penn was a flop.
in 2014 Downey produced and starred in a little film called the Judge, which was also a huge box office disappointment.
If all these people cannot open a movie on their own, why on earth would any one expect Tom to be able to?
He just starred in one of the best received mini-series of the year, earning him an Emmy nomination along with 11 more for the series. And that’s just the Emmys. I have no doubt that he, and the show, will have a lot more of those when the BAFTA nominations are announced, and maybe even the Golden Globes.
And how come all those people doubting Tom’s career never mention Chris Hemsworth? almost all his movies aside from the Thor franchise have been Critical and box office failures. And he’s not doing interesting Indie and genre films like Tom. He’s doing huge big budget movie with big name directors, like Blackhat and In The Heart Of The Sea.
And has Tom ever had a bad review of a film mention his acting skills or performance as the bad part of the movie? No. No, he hasn’t. It’s almost always the ecaxt opposite. Even in the Thor movie, critics, fans and average movie goers are all in agreement that Loki has always been the best part about these movie.
Till this day, whenever somebody mentions the MCU and its problems with villains, the only one excluded is Loki. Do people really think that would have been the case if it wasn’t for Tom’s acting talent?
Do people really think Tom is going to be hurting for jobs anytime soon? Even with ISTL, he not only was singled as the best part of the movie by literally every single critic. He proved to all the studio execs out there that he will stand by the project and promote it as much as humanely possible with no snark or negativity or shifting the blame on the directors.
Sorry for the long rant but the naysayers always get on my nerves. Kindly, fuck off with your negativity. And if you don’t think Tom is a good or successful actor, STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM. Jesus, people, no one is forcing you to go see his movie!
Absolutely true. Can I add George Clooney in Hail, Caesar? And yes, why does NO ONE ever mention Hemsworth? And yet he gets huge paycheques. Chris Evans can’t open a movie outside the MCU. He has huge box office numbers, but two more MCU movies than Tom to count towards that.
