After reprising his role as Stoic the Vast in the live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon, which became his highest-grossing hit, Gerard Butler delivered one of his biggest commercial disappointments. Earlier this year, he starred in Greenland 2: Migration, which grossed just $44 million worldwide against a reported budget of $90 million. Greenland 2 was always expected to do better at home than in theaters, and it certainly has been redeeming itself on the PVOD and streaming markets. However, a 2017 sci-fi movie headlined by Butler was designed as a theatrical tent pole, but it ended up underperforming at the box office and reportedly lost more than $70 million.
The movie in question is currently streaming on Peacock domestically, but will be removed from the service soon. Butler starred in the film along with Abbie Cornish, Jim Sturgess, Ed Harris, and Andy Garcia. The film was directed by Dean Devlin in a rather expensive debut, and was co-produced by David Ellison, the new CEO of Paramount. Produced on a reported budget of $130 million, the film ended its theatrical run with approximately $220 million worldwide. It received poor reviews, and now holds an 18% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.
