Guy Ritchie's King Arthur: Legend of the Sword was the gritty, action-packed retelling of the old classic. With a budget that stood at a whopping $175 million, this film grossed only $149 million worldwide. While the critics found its frenzied style and overuse of CGI too much, it did little to bring back the essence of the Arthurian legend. Stiff competition further didn't do any good for the film to find its audiences. While some appreciated Ritchie's unique vision, the underperformance of the movie put an end to plans for a multi-film franchise.
