It had big stars, good reviews, style to spare and a cool period setting, so why did it not make bank at the box office?It was the second film from writer-director Drew Goddard, who seven years previously had made the truly great and inventive hit 2012 horror The Cabin in the Woods.And for his long-awaited sophomore effort, he merged a hot original screenplay - which he described as an homage to crime fiction, film noir and '60s culture - with an ace cast.
Godard explained at the time of its release that he and his cast took pay cuts in order to keep costs down so that the studio would allow them to take more storytelling risks."I have learned will let you be bold if you keep your costs down, and I am okay with that deal. That’s a fair deal. "The tradeoff is we’ve got to keep the costs down. When we went to the actors, they sort of knew that going in. They knew we were all — and it’s true of me too — we’re all taking pay cuts to get to do something different."
Bad Times at the El Royale is based on an original story, as opposed to much of Hollywood's output which is based on pre-existing big name intellectual property .noted in an article published around the crime thriller's release, studios rely on sequels, prequels and reboots because it makes their films easier to sell to audiences.
