* BoxOfficeBomb: Opened to lower numbers than expected, and against a 50 million dollar budget to boot. The lack of award buzz, Paramount's stunningly horrendous marketing (a trailer came out a month before release) and lengthy runtime were all cited for its low opening. It doesn't help that it opened in a very crowded weekend, and against the crowd-pleasing ''Film/HiddenFigures'' and the similarly-themed ''Film/HacksawRidge'', which ironically also starred Creator/AndrewGarfield. And considering this was Creator/MartinScorsese's passion project, its bombing get even sadder.
