20. 47 Ronin (2013)
Trending
This samurai epic blended Japanese folklore with Hollywood spectacle, starring Keanu Reeves. It was made on a budget of $175 million but managed to gross only $151 million worldwide, with $38 million in domestic box office sales. Critics were panned for its uneven tone, lackluster story, and underdeveloped characters. The film was delayed in production and had extensive reshoots, which only added to its woes. Reeves' loyal fanbase gave it some attention, but 47 Ronin couldn't overcome its narrative shortcomings. It has also become a kind of case study in the perils of melding cultural myth with blockbuster movie-making.
