Find out why Gosling and Blunt's stuntman romance movie disappointed fans and critics alike!

Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt's much-anticipated stuntman romance movie, 'The Fall Guy,' failed to make a mark at the box office during its opening weekend. Despite the star power of Gosling and Blunt, the film fell short of expectations, earning a soft opening day and heading towards a disappointing $28 million debut. Directed by David Leitch, known for his action-heavy spectacles, 'The Fall Guy' lacked the substance needed to engage audiences and failed to deliver the thrills expected from a summer blockbuster.

Adding to the disappointment, 'The Fall Guy' faced tough competition at the box office, with Zendaya's 'Challengers' holding strong at No. 2 and the re-release of 'Star Wars: The Phantom Menace' expected to secure a third-place finish. Despite Gosling's charismatic performance as a cocky stunt double, the movie struggled to captivate viewers and fell behind in the weekend box office rankings, raising questions about the future of the film.

In a surprising turn of events, even the big stunt-y ending of 'The Fall Guy,' which aimed to bring back the charm of impactful cameos, failed to salvage the overall reception of the film. With mixed reviews and underwhelming box office numbers, 'The Fall Guy' stands as a reminder that star power alone may not guarantee success in the competitive world of Hollywood blockbusters.
