Is M. Night Shyamalan's career pretty much dead?

Tigerman950 · 2013-06-01 11:35:07

After Earth has scored a resounding 12% on Rotten Tomatoes, which isn't a surprise looking at his previous 4-5 or so films. Has the once-promising director lost his creative touch? Does anyone think he can make a good movie ever again? I know this is jumping the gun pretty quick as he probably still has some years left of his career but it really does seem like he may be done. Even if this movie does make money, nobody will want to see a movie with this guy attached after seeing how bad his latest with Will Smith and son was.

His only decent movie was 7th Sense, and even then it was very predictable and not that great.

Oh sweet, the Sixth Sense is having a sequel?

I remember when his name was being used to sell a film. I didn't see his name in any ads I saw for this one so yea, his career is certainly heading in a bad direction albeit probably not dead just yet. This movie could still make some money regardless of critic reception.

Right now, Sony is hoping its a hit overseas, because it's D.O.A. in the US. They initially predicted a $35-40 mil opening, but it's only made $27 mil. Right now, it's not looking good.
