Best Selling Movie Actors
once one of the funniest men in hollywood,these days vince vaughn struggles to find laughs on the big screen. what got the starof swingers and wedding crashers stuck in a career rut? flops vaughn's hollywood dry spell may have to dowith the fact that his last few movies have tanked. with dismal reviews, 2016's unfinishedbusiness—about three coworkers who embark on a european business trip gone terriblywrong—made headlines for its shockingly low box-office returns. according to box officemojo, the film grossed just $4.7 million in its opening weekend to become the worst-performingmajor release of vaughn's career. the fact
that it finished its theatrical run with about$10.2 million against a $35 million budget only looked worse. unfinished business followed four other flops:the internship, the watch, the dilemma, and delivery man. and only delivery man managedto earn a profit on its domestic box office...and only because it was so cheap to make in thefirst place. ouch. true defective when vaughn agreed to star in hbo's secondseason of true detective, he may have been aware that his career was in a rut. the show'scritically acclaimed first season was a highlight for matthew mcconaughey's in 2013. if it workedfor him, it could work for vaughn, right?
of course, now we know that true detectiveseason two couldn't live up to its predecessor. and vaughn's performance didn't help much.whether he was threatening characters or reciting one of the series' notorious monologues, helooked out of place and out of his depth. by the end of the season, it mainly servedto remind us that vaughn is only fun to watch when the laughs are intentional. casting confusion for years after wedding crashers, vaughn struggledto find his footing in hollywood, often choosing roles that felt very out of place. there wasthe awkward attempt at becoming a romantic leading man, like in 2006's the break-up.two years later, vaughn starred opposite reese
witherspoon in four christmases. in both cases,vaughn's style of humor didn't match the rest of the movies. fans longed to see him in thedude-friendly movies that made him popular. what they got was couples retreat and fredclaus. ho ho no. getting older when your career is defined by frat-boy movieslike swingers, old school, and wedding crashers, eventually, you get too old to play thoseparts. now in his 40s, vaughn has officially entered that territory. the only time thathe should be on a college campus is to take one of his kids on a tour. speaking of... family man
another reason he may not be a top dog inhollywood anymore? vaughn's actually been married to canadian realtor kyla weber forseveral years. they have two children together: daughter locklyn and son vernon. it's possible that vaughn has slowed his paceto focus on being a husband and a dad. after over 30 years in the business, he may be tiredof the grind. plus, with a reported net worth of $50 million, he's not in danger of beingunable to provide for his family. and maybe fatherhood will inspire his new direction.the right pixar project may be all it takes for a family-friendly version of vince vaughnto mount the brilliant comeback we're all waiting for. it seems to be working for owenwilson...
