As we noted in our roundup of the weekend box office last week, Guy Ritchie’s would-be blockbuster King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword flopped hard, the sword of financial disaster pulled smoothly from the stone of foolish expectations and held aloft for all to see. Current estimates have the film on track to lose upwards of $150 million, and the movie now holds the record for the third-worst opening of all time for a movie with such a wide release and giant budget. So now the Monday-morning quarterbacking can begin: What are the reasons this project was such a catastrophic box office failure, other than being a film where Guy Ritchie took the Arthurian legend and updated it to include lots of gun-wielding gangsters and convoluted plots where knights call each other “bruv”? (Full disclosure: We may not have seen the film yet.)
