In fairness, Uma Thurman has had a number of financial successes over the last few years, such as Kill Bill Volume 2, Be Cool (an ensemble piece), Prime, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, the first Percy Jackson movie (a franchise, and she only had a small part in it), Movie 43 (as part of an ensemble), and Nymphomaniac (in a small role that's part of an ensemble). As you can see, a good number of her hits are heavily qualified by the fact that Thurman's presence had little bearing on their success. Even the best film of the bunch, Kill Bill Volume 2, was sold more on Quentin Tarantino's name than her own. So, what about the flops? The flops include The Producers, The Life Before Her Eyes, The Accidental Husband, Motherhood (which made only £88 in the UK on its opening weekend), Ceremony, Bel Ami and Playing for Keeps. Fortunately for Thurman, she hasn't got any recent blockbuster flops to her name (though we haven't forgotten about the bombing of 1998's The Avengers or the mediocre showings of Paycheck and Batman & Robin), which keeps her from getting a higher billing on this list. Why Is She A Flop? Because outside of the Kill Bill franchise, she just hasn't done anything exciting or entertaining that audiences want to watch. She's not a bad actress by any means, but she's picked a pretty steady stream of boring movies that do little to enhance her star power and profile.
