10 Upcoming 2015 Movies That Won't Make Their Money Back

2. Hitman: Agent 47

Hollywood went about crafting a movie based on the Hitman video game series back in 2007; it received terrible reviews, but made four times its budget back at the box office. Which is presumably the reason why Hollywood - in all its creative splendour - decided that there was probably something else they could do with the Hitman property. So now it's 2015 and Hitman: Agent 47 is coming to a theatre near you. The only problem here is that the first Hitman movie was made for a mere $25 million dollars. The new movie presumably cost four times that amount to render (if the rough estimates are anything to go by). The big question, of course, is... who cares about a Hitman movie nowadays? What kind of right-minded person in this modern era would say to themselves: "I want to see that new Hitman movie starring Rupert Friend and Zachary Quinto"? Nine people? Ten at most? In short, then: Agent 47 is doomed. It already has the feel of a movie that will be in bargain buckets two days after it's released on DVD. They got lucky with the first one; this feels like a costly, ill-judged and ill-timed mistake.
