10 Actors Whose Credibility Suffered The Most In 2015
7. Arnold Schwarzenegger
He'll be back, they said. And so he was, and the results were... well, kind of poor, actually. Arnold Schwarzenegger's highly-publicised return to Hollywood - after a long career doing politics in California, don't you know? - was supposed to kick off with a bang. Unfortunately, said bang ended up sounding more like a thud, as zombie drama Maggie, which co-starred Abigail Breslin, failed to make back anywhere near the $8 million it cost to make (it grossed less than $1 million) and was savaged by the critics. Ouch. Then there was Terminator: Genisys - the non-awaited fifth movie - which was met with negative reviews and didn't end of grossing as much as the studio prophesied (though it flopped on its opening weekend, it did eventually gross $440 million, which is still pretty good). The minor financial turnaround wasn't enough to win audiences and critics around to Arnie's return, however, and - much to his chagrin - the intended sequel is now in limbo.
