10 Awful 2014 Movies That Deserved To Bomb At The Box Office

2. Winter's Tale

Budget: $60 million Box office: $30.8 million Colin Farrell doesn't have much luck when it comes to picking decent projects to sign on to. He's proven that he's a capable actor in movies such as In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths, but for the most part his films are poor efforts with rubbish box office returns to show for it. Winter's Tale might just be the lowest his movies have sunk to, which is really saying something. The directorial debut of Akiva Goldsman - who previously penned films like Batman And Robin and Star Trek: Into Darkness - aims for the epic with a fantasy story spanning generations and ends up turning out a bit of a turkey. Adding Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly and William Hurt to the cast wasn't enough to save this from being a complete box office flop. Flaky romance and Hollywood shmaltz has rarely been filmed with such overblown pretentiousness - Goldsman should perhaps stick to the screenwriting, although with his track record that's probably not a good thing, either.
