*tilts head* But STiD is the highest grossing film in the Star Trek franchise. And the Hobbit made over a billion dollars (15th highest grossing film in history). Who are these people who think that these numbers are not good enough? Especially for genre films...
I'm pretty sure that all the positive reviews from Fifth Estate have been about Benedict's acting which should hold him in decently good stead despite the suck that was the box office take. He's also got a couple of other films on the line that are getting very well received in limited release (I think 12 Years a Slave is already getting Oscar buzz). It's not good news, certainly, but he's not riding on it the way he might be if he hadn't been so busy in the last couple of years.
Although I wonder if, in some way, Benedict might actually be kind of relieved to avoid the big blockbusters and focus on smaller and/or non American films. He seems to be the kind of guy who finds fame difficult.
