2. Gerard Butler

Gerard Butler has never exactly been a critical fave, but his big-budget studio movies do tend to succeed at the box office (bar Gods of Egypt, that is).

The critically dogpiled Geostorm, however, only barely cracked $200 million despite a clear attempt to appeal to worldwide markets, while Butler's single other film, dramatic ensemble movie A Family Man, ironically scored the exact same Rotten Tomatoes score of merely 13%, while grossing just $2.4 million worldwide. Ouch.

Though Butler does have a few films due out in 2018, the only one that looks like it'll do remotely well at the box office is Angel Has Fallen, the follow-up to London Has Fallen. If that film under-performs with audiences, Butler could very well find his blockbuster roles drying up while he circles the straight-to-VOD dungeon with Nicolas Cage as a cellmate. Terrifying.
