10 Actors Who Are Box Office Poison

9. Ryan Reynolds

Though Reynolds is an eminently popular, likable actor, he just isn't getting the caliber projects that his talent should dictate; suffering two crushing flops in quick succession with R.I.P.D. and Turbo has surely dealt a good deal of damage to his future prospects, as studios come to realise that, despite his good looks and cocky swagger, he's really not all that bankable, which is genuinely surprising. Upcoming Projects: His biggest chance for a hit is Tarsem Singh's Selfless, due out next year, though short of his Deadpool movie ever actually getting made, there's not a whole lot on the horizon that could bring the actor surging to the top of the box office.
