As the increasingly overstuffed Pirates of the Caribbean sequels and the infamously excessive box office bomb The Lone Ranger proved beyond a shadow of a doubt, indulging Gore Verbinski doesn’t always reap the greatest of rewards, something proven yet again when A Cure for Wellness cratered at the box office back in early 2017.
Even though it only cost a fraction of his Disney-backed blockbusters at $40 million, the overlong and overwrought psychological chiller could only limp towards $26 million in ticket sales. 146 minutes was unnecessary to the point of outright boredom, with the story dragging on and on, seemingly for the sole purpose of allowing Verbinski to showcase some admittedly sumptuous visuals.
