10 Reasons Mark Wahlberg's New Movie Bombed At The Box Office, Making Just $7.5 Million

Mark Wahlberg’s new adventure movie, Arthur the King, has flopped at the box office with a measly $7.5 million opening weekend, but why is the film doing so poorly? Adapted from Mikael Lindnord’s memoir Arthur – The Dog Who Crossed the Jungle to Find a Home, Arthur the King stars Wahlberg as Lindnord, the captain of a team of mountain climbers, who finds a stray dog during a grueling 435-mile climb. Arthur the King was directed by Simon Cellan Jones, scripted by Michael Brandt, and released into theaters by Lionsgate following an ill-advised, male-skewering marketing campaign.
