Naomi Watts may be crushing it on Twin Peaks at the moment, but in terms of cinematic fare, she's been left stranded for quite some time.

Watts has appeared in a number of critically-panned box office bombs over the last few years, such as The Book of Henry, Shut In, 3 Generations, Demolition and The Sea of Trees, and if you exclude the Divergent movies (because she definitely wasn't responsible for their receipts), her last financially successful movies were back in 2014 with Birdman and St. Vincent.

Watts is on seven straight bombs in a row at the moment, while her new Netflix show Gypsy has also been widely panned by critics. At least upcoming Oscar hopeful The Glass Castle could be a solid rebound for her, and we'll always have Twin Peaks.
