Tom Hanks has branded film critics ‘c**ks*****s’ in a discussion about Hollywood’s changing response to films as his latest movie tanked at the box office. Oscar-winner Hanks, 68 , reunited with his Forrest Gump co-star Robin Wright, 58, and director Robert Zemeckis for Here, an ambitious $50,000,000 (£38.7m) movie which follows a family over a century in the same single room.
However, after opening in the US on Friday, it has limped to an opening of just $5m (£3.8m) domestically – which means it’s currently facing a huge loss of at least $45m (£34.8m), not counting for any additional costs like marketing beyond its production budget.
It follows in the footsteps of box office bombs Megalopolis from Francis Ford Coppola and Joker: Folie à Deux so far this autumn. Critically speaking, it’s not been received well either, with a grim 36% score on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes where the movie was slammed for its ‘excess of AI’ and for feeling ‘corny and static’. Fans have been more positive, but Here – which digitally de-ages Hanks and Wright so they can play the same two characters from 18 into their 80s – is still only on 57% from their verified reviews.
