Tom Hanks' Here Flops with Just $5 Million Opening
- The film Here was released and earned only $5 million in its opening weekend.
- Director Robert Zemeckis attributed the film's performance to the stressful situation in the movie industry.
- Despite its notable cast and the director's previous success with Hanks, Here failed to resonate with audiences.
Tom Hanks' latest film was released but failed to achieve box office success, earning only $5 million during its debut. The film, which was made without an initial domestic distributor, faced challenges from the outset as various studios declined to pick it up, deeming it a risky project for a wide audience. Tom Hanks collaborated once again with director Robert Zemeckis, who previously directed Hanks in the iconic film Forrest Gump. During a recent interview, Zemeckis noted that the current state of the theatrical movie industry is quite stressful, which could have contributed to the film's lackluster performance. The film Here is based on a 2014 graphic novel and features a cast that includes notable actors such as Robin Wright and Paul Bettany, yet has not garnered the same acclaim as their previous collaborations.
