The Unbreakables
AV Club came out with an intirguing feature: who are the actors who are impervious to major flops which otherwise would have killed their careers. They listed 18. Among them are:
1) Bruce Willis. Flops: Sunset, Hudson Hawk, The Bonfire Of The Vanities, North, Breakfast Of Champions, The Story Of Us, and Perfect Stranger
2) Brad Pitt. Flops: Meet Joe Black, Spy Game, The Mexican, Seven Years In Tibet, The Devil's Own, Cool World, Kalifornia and lately, The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford. Well, those were nice, high-minded flops anyway.
3) John Travolta. Flops: Moment By Moment, Two Of A Kind, The Experts, Perfect, Mad City, Lucky Numbers, Battlefield Earth, A Love Song For Bobby Long, and Lonely Hearts
4) Nicholas Cage. Flops: Next, The Weather Man, The Wicker Man, Lord Of War, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Windtalkers, Bringing Out The Dead, and Snake Eyes
5) Keanu Reeves. Flops: The Watcher, Sweet November, Thumbsucker, Constantine, A Scanner Darkly, and even The Matrix Revolutions
They may flop but they can return with some of the best-selling movies. The lesson is bankable stars are sometimes not enough to lift a movie in the box office.
Nicole Kidman was among the "Unbreakables" but then "The Wizard of Oz" was not a flop
