Dear MR: I suspect you are a spokesperson/fan of RPatts, but don't try to
convince me that his movies are box office hits. When Remember Me came
out, he was at his peak of fame, it was expected to be his chance to show to the world that he could open a movie. Instead, it made only $19 million in America, was critically panned, and got him a Razzie
nomination for Worst Actor. Nobody apart from his fans would call that a
success.
I have commented before that I liked Water for Elephants, and don't see
the need for a him to get a nomination for it. But the movie did only decent numbers (and
that with the help of two Oscar winners in leading roles) while his
acting still didn't convince the critics.
Lastly, Breaking Dawn is trailing New Moon by millions of dollars, and
even more vs. Eclipse. Internationally we will have to wait and see,
but Summit is expecting to make 228 Mio, that means they expect it to
end up at 650 Mio.
I haven't written RPatts off, but in Breaking Dawn he delivered only one
line and one scene that I liked. That is 100% more than what I liked
about Adam Sandler, and 0.1% than what I like when I watch a Geoffrey Rush.
He deserves a spot up there, whether you like it or not.

Actually, Breaking Dawn is doing as well as the previous two Twilight movies domestically and BETTER worldwide.
Both Remember Me and Water for Elephants made TRIPLE their budgets and were profitable movies.
[Remember Me made over $56 million on a $16 million budget and Water for Elephants made over $117 million on a budget of only $38 million.]

Breaking Dawn is going to make way less money than the previous two. And I think Remember me and Water for Elephants didn't make any box office money.
