3. Brendan Fraser
Notable Flops: The Air I Breathe ($2.5m against $10m), Inkheart ($62.4m against $60m), Extraordinary Measures ($15m against $31m), Furry Vengeance ($36.2m against $35m), Escape from Planet Earth ($70.7m against $40m). The question that first arises when thinking of Brendan Fraser - at least for me - is...when did we actually
like this guy? Alright, California Man has some charm, I liked George of the Jungle as a child, and the first Mummy film was passably entertaining, but is it really much of a surprise that the guy's box office profile has dive-bombed in recent years? He's certainly made at least one poor business choice in not returning for Journey 2, which ended up being a substantially bigger hit than the original (perhaps as a result of Fraser being replaced by Dwayne Johnson, mind).
Upcoming Projects: He's also taken a role in the aforementioned animated flick The Nut Job, which while his best bet, will likely be a modest success at most. Basically, his career is on the edge, just about ready to plunge into the abyss.
