Why’d it bomb? Unforgettable (2017)

I’ll just get it out of the way and say why this movie bombed: Katherine. Heigl.

I’m not even going to bother with an intro. The reason this movie has been bombing is because it seems like everything Katherine Heigl does nowadays ends up in failure. Her biggest success recently was The Nut Job and that was a kids movie so I doubt 98% of the audience cared she was in it!

She’s also known for also having a giant attitude problem in general. It seems like a lot of the general public has heard these horror stories and, as a result, it has scared people off away from her, as they don’t want to see a movie starring her, knowing what a diva she is. Of course, part of it could also be that, even if they don’t know that she’s known for her ego, she hasn’t starred in a good movie since Knocked Up. In fact, her career since has been mostly made up of mediocre romantic comedies. Some of these, like 27 Dresses and The Ugly Truth, were box office successes but, over time, I think audiences have wised u
