Why "Jonah Hex" Bombed

"Jonah Hex"

The Warner Bros./DC Comic film "Jonah Hex" bombed in a massive way at the North American box office this past weekend. Several weeks ago, the Judiciary Report, unimpressed with the initial synopsis and promo photos, realized it was a failure in the making (Will Jonah Hex Sustain Megan Fox's Career). Why Warner Bros didn't come to this conclusion is a mystery.

The studio dumped over $80 million dollars into the film and took a bath when it debuted with $5,000,000 performing even lower than its initial projections this past Saturday, June 19, 2010. The film suffered from poor casting choices and a boring take on the story.

Megan Fox

What this will mean for Megan Fox is a lower film fee for future movies, as she has had two massive bombs in a row with Jonah Hex this year and "Jennifer's Body" last year.
