David O. Russell Drama/ Comedy, Amsterdam stars Margot Robbie, Christian Bale, and John David Washington. After making a minor opening at the theatres, it has taken a disastrous blow.
The movie has continued to draw criticism for its unnecessary luxury and the questionable decisions the ensemble made during a brief moment of bad judgment.
The storyline centers on three friends, a doctor, a nurse, and a lawyer, who gets implicated in the mysterious murder of a US senator and discover one of the craziest conspiracies in American history.
Moviegoers have been criticizing the movie and listing all the many factors they believe contributed to its box office failure. They claim that assembling an ensemble cast alone doesn’t ensure a movie’s success.
Amsterdam had an $80 million budget but only grossed $6.5 million during its opening weekend at the box office, with the studio’s anticipated losses approaching $100 million.
Not only did the movie perform poorly at the box office, but critics have given mainly unfavorable reviews. It presently has a 33% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Parker Finn’s Smile, on the other hand, had a startlingly strong domestic launch this weekend, taking the top spot with $22 million and a 78% Rotten Tomatoes score.
