Disney's move to revive the Western genre through The Lone Ranger ended up costing them a small fortune. Having spent $250 million on its production, marketing cost was also estimated at around $150 million, the movie could only raise $260 million in the box office worldwide. The movie features Johnny Depp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as the titular character. Its production was beset by delay, and critics gave it mixed reviews. Most of them hated its inconsistent tone and overuse of CGI. Though some praised its action sequences, it couldn't justify its inflated costs.
