Is it really the stars who lost millions to the studios, of the movie’s box office performance? The way I see it, you can’t really blame it all on the stars in the leading role. Because I can tell you right now; even if Ezra Miller Didn’t have any legal problems, The Flash would have bombed in the box office, just like Green Lantern. Green Lantern was a poor written script, and The Flash was a half ass written adaptation of the flashpoint comic. The difference: the writers in Green Lantern really fucked up the script that Ryan Reynolds was never gonna take take that superhero film across the gold line. And I’m pretty sure all fighter pilots hated that movie, and prefer top gun ever since. And the writers for The Flash, shouldn’t have adapted the flashpoint storyline-and that’s because you do not adapt a storyline like the flashpoint comic in a 144 minute runtime. If the flash had a longer run time the writers could’ve had a chance of not writing something with little effort or care. So I wouldn’t blame it all on the lead especially if it was poor casting or poor writing. The only thing the lead can do to screw up is loosing their own investors that invested in them.

The general sentiment of the comments, fifty posted about an hour after this video went live, is that you can't just put the blame on the actors for the failures of these movies - and I'd have to agree, as these all pretty much had other problems and issues that led to why the movies failed... and the ones that failed in part because of the actor were because the studio gave the lead to an actor that wasn't ready for it or to an actor whose time had past and wasn't as big a draw as they used to be.

I love WatchMojo but I found this to be a very poor list. To say a movie lost money solely on a single actor, leading or otherwise is absurd. By all means I am not saying it is not possible but the bulk of these films had nothing to do with the acting of the lead. It can be blamed on several factors, poor marketing, poor direction, producing conflicts and writing.
