Unbelievably, there was a time when Ryan Reynolds was practically considered box office poison
Dobkin dropped out of directing, deciding to make The Judge with Robert Downey Jr. instead, and he was replaced by Robert Schwentke . Galifianakis dropped out of the project, as the schedule conflicted with filming The Hangover Part III, and was replaced by Jeff Bridges. And Foster dropped out of the role of Proctor, choosing to make sci-fi thriller Elysium instead, and was replaced by Mary-Louise Parker.
:"I think they really screwed up the editing of the movie, we had a wonderful time making it, with Ryan Reynolds. Wonderful time working with the director. But the suits just cut it against the grain, and I thought, screwed it up." The movie wasn't shown to critics before release , and upon release, on a reported budget of over $154 million, it made just $73 million worldwide, and to this day, is considered one of the biggest box office flops of all time. When critics did eventually get eyes on the movie, it scored just 12% on Rotten Tomatoes."Less a bad movie than simply not a movie, R.I.P.D. gives every indication of having been a sloppy first-draft script.
So that was five for five. Like we said, poor Ryan Reynolds. The next few years are a fog of interesting but not amazing projects before he goes all in on Deadpool in 2016, and finally - FINALLY! - it paid off.
