Why the new Hellboy movie was an epic flop at the box office — from awful reviews to losing visionary director Guillermo del Toro
Previous"Hellboy" star Perlman also didn't return, which further distanced the new movie from the originals.in February that Perlman wanted to come back for a third movie, but only if del Toro returned.
He added,"[Hellboy creator] Mike Mignola has created this great world that's worth exploring in films and series ... It was just time to do it. We just wanted to do it and get the character back in front of people beyond the published series."Del Toro's"Hellboy" movies weren't just loved by fans of the character. Critics adored them, too. But critics trashed this new"Hellboy" movie.
2004's"Hellboy" has an 81% critic score on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, and"The Golden Army" has an 86% critic score. The reboot is a complete dud, though, at 15% on Rotten Tomatoes and a lackluster C on CinemaScore, which polls audiences during a movie's opening night."While the audience response wasn't as awful as the critics responses, they weren't terribly good either," Boxofficeanalyst.com's Doug Stone told Business Insider.
"There are plenty of great stories in the [Hellboy] comics," Bock said."Giving it its own subtitle would have helped distinguish it from the original."
