Charlize Theron's Christmas Disaster: A Movie Misstep

You might think that every movie with a big star like Charlize Theron would be a hit. But "Reindeer Games" is a Christmas thriller that tanked big time. It didn't make much money, barely covering its $42 million budget with a worldwide gross of about $32 million. Ouch! This was also the last film directed by John Frankenheimer before he died, and it's not his best work. Even Theron wasn't happy with it. She told Esquire, "That was a bad, bad movie. " But she doesn't regret it because she got to work with a legend. Frankenheimer directed "The Manchurian Candidate, " which is a classic. So, even though "Reindeer Games" wasn't great, Theron saw it as a learning experience. She's worked with other big directors like Sam Raimi, George Miller, and Ridley Scott. Not every movie can be a hit like Tom Hanks's "That Thing You Do! " But working with talented people is a big deal. And let's be real, "Reindeer Games" isn't the worst movie ever. Theron was in "A Million Ways to Die in the West" too, which was also a flop.
