The box office failure of Babylon was devastating to Paramount CEO Brian Robbins, as he hoped it would be a bigger hit.
Although Margot Robbie is starring in a box office hit this year with Barbie, she appeared in two of last year’s biggest box office duds: Amsterdam and Babylon. Babylon starred Robbie, Brad Pitt, and Diego Calva, and it was directed by Damien Chazelle, who previously helmed Whiplash, La La Land, and First Man.
The movie was unsuccessful at the box office, grossing $63 million against the $78-80 million budget. “It broke my soul to have Babylon not do well,” Robbins told . “There’s people who loved the movie, and there’s people who hated the movie, but you can’t deny it’s an ambitious fucking movie.”The cast includes Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt, Diego Calva, Jean Smart, Jovan Adepo, Li Jun Li, P. J. Byrne, Lukas Haas, Katherine Waterson, Tobey Maguire, Flea, Eric Roberts, Ethan Suplee, Samara Weaving, Olivia Wilde, Spike Jonze, and more.Jonathan Sim is a film critic and filmmaker born and raised in New York City.
