Nicholas Hoult Heist Movie Officially Faces a Box Office Hold After Weak Reviews
Leitch’s Hollywood Path
David Leitch worked as an uncredited co-director on the original John Wick before pursuing his own directing career. His former creative collaborator Chad Stahelski went on to oversee the John Wick franchise.
Leitch later directed the franchise films Deadpool 2 and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. His later releases, however, have had mixed outcomes.
Mixed Results At The Box Office
Leitch’s 2022 action thriller Bullet Train starred Brad Pitt alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Joey King and Andrew Koji. Made on a reported $90 million budget, it earned around $240 million worldwide and received a 53% Rotten Tomatoes score.
Two years later, The Fall Guy starred Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling. It grossed around $180 million worldwide against a reported $150 million budget and received an 81% Rotten Tomatoes score, though it reportedly lost Universal $50 million.
Hoult Film Draws Weak Reviews
Leitch’s latest project is a heist comedy starring Nicholas Hoult. Its reception has been considerably worse than that of The Fall Guy, and it has received the weakest reviews of Leitch’s career.
The film is shaping up to be a major box-office underperformer, according to the report. No title, release date, budget or box-office total for the Hoult movie is provided.
