10 Upcoming 2015 Movies That Won't Make Their Money Back
7. London Has Fallen
London Has Fallen has all the makings of one of those totally unnecessary blockbuster sequels that somehow wormed its way into production - despite the fact that nobody enjoyed the original film that it spawned from. So London Has Fallen appears to exist as a reason for Hollywood to blow up the UK capital in as many ways as possible; something which might have been a bit more appealing had audiences not been treated to having seen that done a billion times already in an array of other movies across the sum of the last few years. This is the kind of blockbuster that defines excess; there's no way this will be a good film, despite the fact that it stars Aaron Eckhart and Morgan Freeman (reprising their roles from the original), and will no doubt make use of its huge budget (estimated to be in the region of $100 million dollars) through various tedious shots of landmarks turning to fire. The original movie only made $160 million at the box office; really, what hope does this have?
