colin-farrell-fright-night-08Notable Flops: The Way Back ($20.3m against $30m), London Boulevard ($4.6m against $12.3m), Fright Night ($41m against $30m), Total Recall ($198.4m against $140m) and Dead Man Down ($18m against $30m). Much like Reynolds, Farrell has a sure star quality, being both exceptionally handsome and thoroughly charming, yet his projects just aren't connecting with audiences, and as a result he finds himself weathering a troubling number of flops in a relatively short period. Upcoming Projects: Still, the future is looking bright for the actor, as he has a few high-profile projects awaiting release; he has a supporting role in the Oscar-baiting Saving Mr. Banks, and most importantly, co-stars with both Will Smith and Russell Crowe in the upcoming fantasy flick Winter's Tale. A fantasy film starring a tri-fecta of talented, apparently popular actors? Farrell would have to be mega-cursed for this one to not pull in the box office cheddar, but stranger things have happened...
