The failure is all the more apparent when you remember that this movie was originally meant to launch a whole Dark Tower universe, complete with an accompanying TV series.
The Dark Tower is one of the latter, after it scored a minimal take at the box office combined with poor reviews.
Despite some big winners, 2017 was disappointing at the box office for movies.
The status of this series has always been up in the air, but new words from Idris Elba don’t paint a better picture.
