Costner works for cheap enough that his films can still make money.

Johnny Depp doesn't have this excuse.

[BadAtGender]

A more interesting question for this weekend's thread is "Why does Costner get so many leading roles in movies when he isn't a star anymore?" Black or White - flop.  Draft Day - flop.  3 Days to Kill - flop.  Jack Ryan remake  flop.  Does the industry not have enough White male actors in their 60s to accept roles?

 

The films aren't that expensive. Black or White cost 9m, Draft Day 25m, 3Days 28m, Jack Ryan was pricier at $60m, but also grossed the most WW.

 

All of them have beat their budgets in WW gross, though Draft Day is pretty close. They may not be super profitable, but I doubt they're losing a ton of money, either.

 

Also, Costner might just be a guy people like to work with. (I dunno, I don't follow celeb news.) That can count for a lot for getting repeated employment.

LOL keep on Trying It, Ando.

 

Anything above $10M for the three openers is pretty good IMO, especially if all of them end up in that area.

Look on the bright side, it lasted longer than Blackhat.

My guess is that Johnny Depp's 'Mortdecai' paycheck was bigger than that!

Pa Kent should have just let the dog die!

And it's the most expensive of the three openers. Hot Tub came in at 14m and DUFF is under 9m.

Jack, where might one find those pictures you used to have as a sig? They had a chubby boy with blond hair striking all kinds of poses. I would like to see them again.
