Tom Hanks has two Oscars and lots of big hits on his resume.
He also has some clunkers. Robert Zemeckis’s “Here” is one of them, maybe the biggest.
Last night, “Here” — which reunites Hanks with his “Forrest Gump” director Zemeckis and star Robin Wright — made just $198 per theater in previews. The total was just $475,000.
Total for the weekend will be around $3 million or less.
The movie cost $50 million officially, but probably more. It’s a total write off for the producers and Miramax Films.
“Here” is so hard to describe that Robin Wright couldn’t do it on Stephen Colbert’s show the other night.
It’s apparently about time passing for one couple, in the same room. There’s just one point of view. Or something. There’s a lot of technology involved, but no story.
What a shame.
