Following its disastrous opening box office weekend, David O. Russell's Amsterdam could see its studios lose nearly $100 million.
After poor box office numbers, Amsterdam could be facing a major loss. David O. Russell is the five-time Academy Award-nominated filmmaker behind such critically-acclaimed hits as The Fighter, Silver Linings Playbook, and American Hustle. His first feature film since 2015's Joy, Amsterdam is based on the 1933 political conspiracy known as the Business Plot and follows a doctor, a nurse, and a lawyer who are framed for the murder of a US Senator.
Like many of Russell's films, Amsterdam is led by all-stars Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, and John David Washington as the main trio alongside an ensemble supporting cast that includes Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, Zoe Saldaña, Mike Myers, Michael Shannon, Timothy Olyphant, Andrea Riseborough, Taylor Swift, Matthias Schoenaerts, Alessandro Nivola, Rami Malek, and Robert De Niro.
What Amsterdam's Massive Loss Means For Adult-Skewed Movies While such tentpoles as Top Gun: Maverick, Jurassic World Dominion, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Thor: Love and Thunder revived the box office this past summer, original adult-skewed films continue to struggle, evident by Amsterdam's opening weekend.
Even if Amsterdam and other movies like it continue to bomb, studios likely won't stop making these kinds of original adult-skewed films altogether, but it will change how they release them, opting to dump them on streaming instead of wide theatrical releases. However, home media is actually where films like Amsterdam can thrive just like another Regency-backed box office bomb, The Northman, which actually became a financial success through its home video release.
