Because his presence did such wonders for November Criminals, Billionaire Boys Club, and Jonathan.

those movies were with problems and weren't promoted.

When taking into account the bars set by other Focus Features films, I would say that it is at least a disappointment.

[Zakiyyah6]

What was Boy Erased budget?

Nothing is reported but I can’t imagine it was very high since it’s the kind of project everyone involved would accept a cut for. Then again, I would’ve guessed the same for Beautiful Boy and that somehow cost $25M so...

TFIOS was based of an uber popular book

 

Baby Driver was a massively critically acclaimed action flick that appealed to the masses. 

Chalamet and Hedges haven't started in anything comparable to either of those 

[Zakiyyah6]

All of those white boys careers are doing fine. This argument is silly.

[Ethan Hunt]

I like all three actors btw. 

 

but I think Hedges and Chalamet have more promising careers right now than Elgort. (plus they don't release shitty music)

and they'll never star in anything comparable because they're not marketable. they'll stay in their niche.

 

DUNE withstanding which i'm looking forward, but it will probably flop with chalamet as a lead

[filmlover]

I don’t even dislike Ansolo like most of BOT seems to but attributing the success of The Fault in Our Stars and Baby Driver to him is...really stretching it.

elgort has the critical acclaim AND  the box office. the other two can stay in the underground as obscure players

[That One Girl]

It sounds like Ben is not back.

[Ethan Hunt]

yes Elgort was in a couple of hits

not even julia roberts and nicole kidman can help those boys from flopping
