The Real Reason These Movies Bombed At The 2019 Box Office

Although the biggest movies these days seem to be making more money than most small countries, that doesn't mean everyone is sharing in the wealth. Sadly, quite a few 2019 movies — some with big names and big budgets — have already been given the thumbs down from critics and audiences alike. Here's why these 2019 films bombed at the box office.

Replicas is one of those science fiction/horror movies that seems to exist solely to warn the world's mad scientists that dead people are supposed to stay that way. Keanu Reeves plays Will Foster, a scientist working on transferring the consciousnesses of the dead into new bodies. After his wife and children are killed during a boating trip, he enlists the help of a fellow scientist to resurrect them via cloning. Predictably, things quickly go wrong.

Replicas performed dismally at the box office, grossing just a little over $4 million, and its aggregate Rotten Tomatoes score doesn't suggest this was an under-hyped gem, either. Critics ripped the sci-fi thriller to pieces, calling out its preposterous story, its numerous plot holes, and the squandering of its novel potential. A number of critics have suggested that Reeves was horribly miscast as a grieving genius, and more than one argued that Nicolas Cage would've made a much better fit. Amidst a storm of unkind reviews of Replicas, perhaps the best takedown of them all came from The Los Angeles Times.

Don't worry, Joss Whedon fans: you haven't missed anything important. 2019's Serenity is a very different beast indeed than the 2005 sci-fi cult classic.

No, this movie follows Baker Dill, the captain of a fishing vessel who is dragged back into his ex-wife Karen's life when she tries to hire him to kill her current husband. So far, so straightforward, right? Well, guess again. Because it is eventually revealed that Dill is actually a character in a video game designed by a boy named Patrick. When Patrick's real-life mother remarried an abusive man, he redesigned his game to be about destroying the new man in her life. Keep watching the video to see why these 2019 films bombed at the box office!
