Tom Hanks, Robing Wright, Paul Bettany, Kelly Reilly in 'Here'
Director Robert Zemeckis' ambitious new film, Here, was billed as a long-awaited Forrest Gump reunion, but not only did the film fail to generate a sufficient degree of enthusiasm among critics, it also turned out to be one of the biggest studio flops of the year. Starring Tom Hanks and Robin Wright in the central roles, Here debuted to mixed reviews and negligible box office attention in early November.
✕ Remove Ads With around $12 million in the bank domestically, Here continues a decade-long cold-streak for the legendary filmmaker. His last four films, including Here, have only grossed a combined total of $72 million domestically, despite featuring stars such as Hanks, Brad Pitt, Steve Carell and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. His last true hit, Flight, was released over a decade ago.
Based on the graphic novel by Richard McGuire, Here tells an epic story across generations, as it follows one family from a singular perspective. True to form, Zemeckis utilized elaborate visual effects techniques in the film, continuing an obsession that began two decades ago with another film starring Hanks, The Polar Express. The movie appears to have settled at a"rotten" 35% approval rating on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.

The movie made less than $5 million in its domestic debut, against a reported budget of around $50 million.
