Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch was a big box office failure back in 2011, and there are a variety of reasons why it underperformed so badly.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Zack Snyder has explored a variety of genres in his movies, and while some have been critical and commercial successes, he also has some disappointing movies in his filmography, such as Sucker Punch – and here’s why it was a box office flop. Back in 2011, Zack Snyder brought Sucker Punch, a psychological action movie written by Snyder and Steve Shibuya, being Snyder’s first movie based on an original idea.
However, others argued that Sucker Punch was actually an empowering story as it follows Babydoll’s efforts to regain her freedom and agency and help her friends regain theirs as well. The Los Angeles Times called Sucker Punch in its review a “wonderfully wild provocation”, arguing that it doesn’t objectify or empower women, while Alternate Takes called it a “deeply pessimistic analysis of female oppression”, showing how women only have an illusion of agency and men are the ones in control.
6 Zack Snyder’s Bad Box Office Streak Impacted Sucker Punch Sucker Punch was Zack Snyder’s fifth movie, and he already had a not-so-favorable box office track record. His directorial debut, Dawn of the Dead, was a box-office hit, as was his second movie, 300, but Watchmen and Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole underperformed.
3 2011’s Box Office Was Dominated By Franchises Sucker Punch arrived at a difficult time for original stories, and the list of highest-grossing movies of 2011 proves it. 2011 was all about sequels from big and popular franchises, with the top 5 highest-grossing movies that year being Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, and Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol.
