Unfortunately, even when paired with fellow Oscar-nominee Colin Farrell ("The Penguin"), she couldn't help turn "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey" into a hit. The original romantic fantasy epic absolutely bombed at the box office during its opening weekend, with Sony Pictures left holding the bag for this one. Directed by Kogonada, "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey" flopped at the domestic box office, taking in just $3.5 million in its debut. It also fell well below modest pre-release box office projections, which had it in the $5 to $10 million range. In his review of "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey" for /Film, Witney Seibold wrote, "it's not that big, it's hardly bold, and it's only beautiful on its surface."
