The Promise (2016)
MovieStillsDB
Approximate Loss — $94-102 million
Any film that stars both Christian Bale and Oscar Isaac should be rather enjoyable (and good). Unfortunately, the two talented performers couldn’t save The Promise from being a poor film. Taking place in 1914 during the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the Armenian Genocide, Isaac’s Michael — a medical student — meets a woman named Ana (Charlotte Le Bon). The two grow close over their shared Armenian heritage, but a love triangle ensues when it is revealed that Ana has a boyfriend (Bale). Unfortunately, the focus of the film is in the wrong place and it suffers as a result. A lot of potential, but ultimately The Promise disappointed…just look at how much money the film supposedly lost.
