Our friend, Gerard Butler, has a problem. Tall and handsome, a very good leading man, Butler needs a hit. He won’t be finding it this weekend in “London Has Fallen,” which has a 20 on Rotten Tomatoes. The reviews are very bad.

He didn’t find it last week with “Gods of Egypt.” That one had a 12 on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s made $17 million, cost at least $140 million, and is on the way to the slaughterhouse.

Butler seems to be picking movies for money– good salaries in big budget adventures. But the returns are diminishing.

He’s had a couple of hits– “Olympus Has Fallen” in 2013 and “300” in 2008. The former made $98 million and the latter just over $200 million.

But there’s a lot of dreck on that resume like “Playing for Keeps,” “Chasing Mavericks” and “Machine Gun Preacher.” That last one made just $538,690 when it was released– or when it escaped– in 2011.

Butler is 46, looks a little younger in fact, and should be making Mel Gibson type movies from “Lethal Weapon” to “What Women Want.” I don’t know if anyone is scouting projects or directors for him, but he’s in the sweet spot. It’s now or never.

British theater actor Mark Rylance surprised everyone including himself on Sunday night when he won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for “Bridge of Spies.”

Steven Spielberg literally jumped out of his chair when Rylance’s name was called. Spielberg directed “Bridge of Spies,” an extraordinarily good film and the latest on Spielberg’s long list of accomplishments. He’s the most successful director of our time, hands down.

But here’s a little trivia. Despite having three Oscars of his own, Spielberg has only directed one other actor to a winning Oscar. That was Daniel Day Lewis as Abraham Lincoln in “Lincoln,” three years ago. Until DDL, Spielberg cast members had only been nominated- like Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes in “Schindler’s List,” and Tom Hanks in “Saving Private Ryan.”

 The new Paul Feig directed “Ghostbusters” trailer has gotten over 2 million views on YouTube since this morning. Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, and Kate McKinnon are the new Ghostbusters. Leslie Jones from “SNL” is their pal of some kind of one of those Hemsworths is their secretary. Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver make some kind of cameos. This trailer shows a lot of the special effects already. So far, the movie looks like it did 30 years ago, which is kind of nice. This feels like a hit. Cross fingers.

It’s not fair to call “Touched with Fire” Katie Holmes’s movie. But she was signed to give Paul Dalio’s movie a marquee name. Katie could not have known what was coming. Roadside Attractions released the former “Mania Days” some 17 days ago. And its total take at the box office: $138,845. The movie had a decent but not great 68% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Dalio enlisted Spike Lee as executive producer, but even that didn’t help. Nice reviews handled the movie with care. But Roadside– er, Roadkill– is famous for suffocating its movies until they’re dead. This was no exception.

Who loses all the money spent on this? Luckily, Paul Dalio is the son of Ray Dalio, who runs Bridgewater Associates, a monster hedge fund in Connecticut. Actually, Bridgewater may be the biggest hedge fund in the world. Ray Dalio is said to be worth $15 billion. So five-or-ten million for an art film is a minor annoyance.

Roadkill’s next movie is Sally Field in the much liked “Hello My Name is Doris.” Michael Showalter directed it. I advise everyone involve to get their own publicists and do their own marketing. Or they, too, like “Touched with Fire,” will be heading to Netflix, VOD, and video kiosks in a Publix market.
