Release Date: March 31, 2017

Though Scarlett Johansson is a consistent box office draw and the film will be boosted significantly by those lucrative Asian markets, films with whitewashed casts have a proven history of bombing, and there's a strong possibility it'll likely end up too weird to appeal to mass western audiences.

Plus, Johansson generally sticks to ensemble fare and doesn't have many projects to her name driven solely by her star power, so this is definitely a bit of a gamble. It'll definitely make its budget back, but all things considered, will probably end up a major financial disappoinment and kill any prospect of a franchise stone dead.

Estimated Box Office: $210 million (approx $110 million budget).
