Overview
- Miles Teller told SiriusXM’s Radio Andy that the failure stemmed from “one really important person,” declining to name who he meant.
- Teller said he warned a studio head after first seeing the final cut, telling them, “I think we’re in trouble.”
- The Josh Trank–directed reboot scored about 9% on Rotten Tomatoes and grossed roughly $167–168 million worldwide on a reported $120 million budget.
- Industry reporting estimates 20th Century Fox lost around $80–100 million, and a planned sequel was shelved following the poor performance.
- Outlets note many have linked Teller’s comment to director Josh Trank, who had posted a pre-release tweet about an unseen “fantastic version,” a move widely reported to have hurt turnout with the opening coming in about $14 million below projections.
