FLOPPED.

Jesus, this is a rough couple of years for young adult fantasy franchise starters. They're crashing and burning left and right, like all of them.

Shocking. We saw the trailer for that in front of Aquaman. Surprised somebody even signed off on that, it looks ridiculously stupid. Like it could be fun, maybe, but no frickin' way they break even.

I'd say Patrick Stewart was in it just for the paycheck, but this is still a step up for him compared to the Emoji movie.

I'm frequently reminded of this when it comes to King Arthur movies. And Robin Hood movies.

Just another contender for another bad King Arthur movie.


(Though this isn't as much "please god no" as A Dog's Way Home, the movie that spoils everything in its own trailer)

I am not surprised that this one flopped but it is a shame that most fantasy movies fail in general. Not counting anything related to Harry Potter or Tolkien of course.

I always assumed this was meant for the UK market and they just threw it at the US because why not. But it really did do terrible.
