Why Washington's next movie may be in trouble.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Although Denzel Washington’s next Spike Lee collaboration High and Low sounds exciting, the movie will return to a trend that has never been good news for the star’s box office prospects. Although Denzel Washington is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation, the star has weathered his fair share of flops.
High & Low Is Denzel Washington’s First Remake Since The Magnificent Seven 2016 The Starry Western Was A Box Office Disappointment Close High and Low has a lot of potential, but the Spike Lee movie means Washington is starring in his first remake since 2016’s The Magnificent Seven under-performed.
Denzel Washington’s Remakes Have A Mixed Box Office History The Actor’s Forays Into Remakes Haven’t Historically Succeeded Close 2004’s The Manchurian Candidate , 2009’s The Taking of Pelham 123 , and 2016’s The Magnificent Seven did underperformed, and none of them stunned critics. On a budget of 110 million, director Tony Scott’s re-imagining of the gritty ‘70s hostage thriller earned $150 million at the box office. Since most of Tony Scott and Denzel Washington’s movie collaborations were financially successful, this margin isn’t as impressive as it initially sounds. For a major movie to be a success, it generally needs to make back more than twice its budget at the box office to account for marketing costs.
