Henry Cavill’s New Spy Action Is Already Better Than Previous 33%-Rated Flick, But It’s Set to Flop

Summary:

• Guy Ritchie ’s new and highly anticipated movie The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is about to be released this week — and the film may become a real life safer for its main star Henry Cavill after his most recent theatrical flop.
• Earlier this year, Cavill starred in an action spy film alongside numerous celebrities — despite all the highest hopes, the movie became a huge disappointment.
• Despite the fact that The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is already doing better with critics than Cavill’s previous movie, it’s still unclear whether Guy Ritchie’s brand new movie will be able to become a box office hit.

Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is about to hit the cinemas this Friday, but the first reviews are already in — and they look like a very promising start, especially for the movie’s main star Henry Cavill.

As the actor is all over his brand new film that will most surely get him numerous accolades, he may be still keeping in mind a big flop he starred in earlier this year.

Matthew Vaughn’s action spy comedy Argylle with a truly star-studded cast — including Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Catherine O’Hara, Samuel L. Jackson and even Dua Lipa — was a pretty much anticipated movie until turned into a total disappointment.

Despite the ensemble full of very familiar faces and a seemingly compelling plot, Argylle grossed less than $100 million with the initial budget of $200 million while the movie was expected to garner at least $500 million to break even for Universal Pictures. The box office failure wasn’t the last misfortune for the film as it eventually ended up with only 33% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Is The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Better Than Argylle?

Even ahead of its theatrical run, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare seems to be doing much better than Cavill’s previous movie — the upcoming film so far has cemented a promising score of 81% based on 31 reviews.

This result is surely very much prone to be altered as more reviews will be coming in and the audience’s score will appear as soon as the viewers will get to the theaters.

Guy Ritchie’s upcoming drama nonetheless has all the chances to beat Argylle in the audience’s eyes too, despite the fact that the latter did much better with the viewers and secured 72%.

The only problem that may occur for The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare on its way to the overall acclaim is the movie’s box office predictions which are surprisingly low.

Guy Ritchie’s budget for the film was reportedly around $60 million — meaning that the movie needs to garner only $120 million to break even, which seems quite plausible.

However, some raise concerns about the fact that The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare will end up with $8 million at most during the opening weekend, which can’t be good for the movie’s overall performance.

As the movie is getting pretty close to its release date, all the theories circulating now will soon be confirmed or debunked.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare will kick it off in theaters on April 19.
