Actress Rebecca Ferguson's year in science fiction cinema has been a tale of two extremes: the critical and commercial failure of 'Mercy' alongside Chris Pratt in January, followed by the highly anticipated return as Lady Jessica in 'Dune: Part Three' this December, set to face 'Avengers: Doomsday' at the box office.
Rebecca Ferguson is having quite an interesting year, with three distinct releases in the sci-fi genre. In December, she will return as Lady Jessica in Denis Villeneuve's hotly anticipated trilogy-capper Dune: Part Three, after playing the memorable character in the first and second films.
The movie is set to clash at the box office with Avengers: Doomsday, which shows just how confident Warner Bros. is about its success. In all probability, Dune: Part Three will be a huge success both critically and commercially, but Ferguson didn't have the most auspicious of starts to her year. In January, she starred alongside Chris Pratt in the movie Mercy, which underperformed at the box office after receiving poor reviews.
Ferguson played an artificial intelligence-powered judge in the poorly received film, while Pratt starred as a police officer accused of murdering his wife. Directed by Timur Bekmambetov, Mercy is a screenlife movie in which the majority of the action unfolds entirely on digital devices.
The movie now holds a 24% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, Constricting its two stars inside an airless presentation of a clunky techno-thriller premise, Mercy is tedious enough to make you cry uncle. However, the film received an encouraging 81% audience score on the website, which was helpful when it began its streaming run on Prime Video. In theaters, however, Mercy grossed just $54 million worldwide against a reported budget of $60 million
