Impact Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 There is a King Arthur film every decade it seems, and they all seem to flop both critically and financially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 There is a King Arthur film every decade it seems, and they all seem to flop both critically and financially. Excalibur didn't do that bad with critics and box office, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Not sure really about critics, I don't think it was liked at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Ebert gave it a mixed review, not sure about Siskel though (nobody has uploaded the Sneak Previews episode yet), but it did make 34 million in 1981 (being the 18th highest grossing film of 1981), which isn't bad. Unsure about the budget though. Edited April 14, 2016 by Daniel Dylan Davis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb02 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 The budget for Excalibur was only 10M. Considering that the gross more than tripled the budget, it's safe to say that it was NOT a flop, especially when the known gross is domestic only (for whatever reason, foreign grosses for movies from that era are often undocumented). Far from doing badly, it was actually quite a hit. It was also generally well-received by critics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) Of course, Guy Ritchie is no John Boorman. Boorman did Excaliber because he couldn't get his version of Lord Of The Rings off the ground and he wound up using several of his ideas for LOTR on Excaliber. I'd have loved to see his version of LOTR which sounds more than a bit batshit - think Zardoz. http://cinetropolis.net/the-great-unmade-john-boormans-the-lord-of-the-rings/ Edited April 11, 2014 by TalismanRing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
