Anyone with more box office draw would have cost $12-20 million vs $3 or less for him (total budget was $35 million), not worth it.

Posted by: notfabio on Sep 25, 09:30 in response to Antibody's post That's premature. DWDRL may top out around $45 million.

At the very least he brought in what he cost to cast, likely noticably more.  Problems with DWD wouldn't have been fixed with a bigger name. 

So much of the plot driven dialog just stops Don't Worry Darling dead in its tracks. It just doesn't work. goodvibe61 Sep 24, 17:00

WOM is pretty mixed. I don't see much in this film developing legs. {nm} VictorY Sep 24, 17:10

thanks for the insights {nm} tealfan Sep 24, 18:22

what WAS the secret,...I must have missed it! {nm} GLAMMGUY Sep 24, 18:23

There's a big reveal (MAJOR SPOILERS) TheWeekendWarrior Sep 25, 08:54

Harry Slyles acting was a huge problem. DWD could have used a much more seasoned actor for such a piviol role. {nm} Movie Cub Sep 25, 07:47

Many actors have better acting skill than Harry Slyles, but very few of them have bigger box office draw than him {nm} Peterlee Sep 25, 08:58

It was a weird movie... $45 is probably the upper limit of it with anyone in it. And, might squeak out a profit too (narrowly) {nm} Kevman66 Sep 25, 23:45

I thought he was fine, but that's it. It points out yet again how little artistry is needed to be a competent actor in Hollywood. goodvibe61 Sep 25, 09:17

The majority of the role just retired him to look good in a suit, which, check, but (spoilers inside) Kevman66 Sep 25, 23:15

He's better in My Policeman but that's Amazon so won't be able to compare box office. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 25, 10:23

I can think of 20 off the top of my head {nm} Moviesnob Sep 25, 11:54

Yup... totes. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 25, 08:53
