Rebecca Ferguson’s 87-Year-Old Fantasy Remake Officially Bombs at the Box Office

It has been more than a decade since Rebecca Ferguson starred in a fantasy movie. She last dipped her toes in the genre back in 2014, with the action-packed Hercules movie headlined by Dwayne Johnson. Since then, Ferguson has made a name for herself as a sci-fi specialist of sorts, thanks to a prominent role in Denis Villeneuve‘s critically acclaimed Dune trilogy and a lead role in Apple TV’s cult hit series Silo. With Silo currently airing its impeccably received fourth season and Dune: Part Three lined up for release in December, Ferguson deviated from the norm with a fantasy movie aimed at children. The movie in question has already had a successful run in the United Kingdom, but it got off to a shaky start domestically this past week.

Ferguson began the year with Mercy, a poorly received sci-fi movie in which she played an AI-powered judge opposite Chris Pratt, who played a cop suspected of murder. Mercy underperformed at the box office, grossing $56 million worldwide against a reported budget of $60 million. It now holds a 21% critics’ score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. That said, the film’s 81% audience score propelled it to major success on Prime Video. Ferguson’s new movie doesn’t have the burden of poor reviews weighing it down. The fantasy film currently holds a 78% score on Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus describes it as “warm, charming, and quietly uplifting,” and praises it for delivering “a playful mix of whimsical characters, gentle humor, and a timely message about unplugging.”

The Fellowship Has Spoken
Your Place in Middle-earth

The scores below reveal your true character. Your highest number is your match. Even a tie tells a story — the Fellowship was never made of simple people.

💍
Frodo

🌿
Samwise

👑
Aragorn

🔥
Gandalf

🏹
Legolas

⚒️
Gimli

👁️
Sauron

🪨
Gollum

You carry something heavy — and you carry it alone, even when you don’t have to. You were not born for greatness, and that is precisely why greatness chose you. Your courage is not the roaring, sword-swinging kind; it is quiet, stubborn, and terrifying in its refusal to quit. The Ring weighs on you more than anyone can see, and still you walk toward the fire. That is not weakness. That is the rarest kind of strength there is.

You are, without question, the best of them. Not the most powerful, not the most celebrated — but the most essential. Your loyalty is not a trait; it is a force of nature. You would carry the person you love up the slopes of Mount Doom if it came to that, and we both know you’d do it without being asked. The world needs more people like you, and the world is lucky it has even one.

You were born to lead, and you have spent years running from it. The crown is yours by right, but you know better than anyone that right means nothing without the will and the worthiness to back it up. You are tempered by loss, shaped by long roads, and defined by a code of honour you hold to even when no one is watching. When you finally step forward, the world shifts. Because it was always waiting for you.

You have seen more than you let on, and you say less than you know — which is exactly as it should be. You are a catalyst: you do not fight the battles yourself, you ignite the people who can. Your wisdom comes not from books but from an age of watching what happens when it is ignored. You arrive precisely when you mean to, and your presence alone changes what is possible. A wizard is never late.

Graceful, perceptive, and almost preternaturally calm under pressure — you see things others miss and act before others react. You do not need to make a scene to be remarkable; your presence speaks for itself. You are loyal to those you choose to stand beside, and that choice is not made lightly. You have lived long enough to know that the most beautiful things in this world are also the most fragile, and that is why you fight to protect them.

You are loud, proud, and absolutely formidable — and beneath all of that is one of the most fiercely loyal hearts in Middle-earth. You don’t do anything by half measures. Your friendships are forged like iron, your grudges run as deep as mines, and your courage in battle is the kind that makes legends. You came into this fellowship suspicious of everyone and ended it willing to die for an elf. That is not a small thing. That is everything.

You think in centuries and act in absolutes. Order, dominion, control — not because you are cruel by nature, but because you have decided that the world left to itself always falls apart, and you are the only one with the vision and the will to hold it together. You were not always this. Something was lost, or taken, or betrayed, and the version of you that stands now is the answer to that wound. The tragedy is that you’re not entirely wrong — just entirely too far gone to course-correct.

You are a study in contradiction — pitiable and dangerous, cunning and broken, capable of both cruelty and something that once resembled love. You are defined by loss: of innocence, of self, of the one thing that gave your existence meaning. Two voices war inside you constantly, and the tragedy is that the better one sometimes wins, just not often enough, and never at the right moment. You are a warning, yes — but also a mirror. We are all a little Gollum, given the right ring and enough time.

Here’s How Much Rebecca Ferguson’s New Movie Grossed at the Box Office

While the positive reception no doubt benefited the movie in its U.K. run, during which it grossed more than $30 million, it wasn’t enough to attract audiences to theaters domestically. Based on a series of children’s books written by Enid Blyton, the movie in question is The Magic Faraway Tree. Also featuring Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy, the movie grossed $1.3 million in its stateside debut weekend, which represents an $848 per-theater average.

The movie couldn’t secure a top-10 spot, finishing 11th on this weekend’s leaderboard, which was topped for the fourth time in a row by Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Children’s films from the U.K. have typically had a difficult time in the U.S., with the acclaimed Paddington series witnessing declining returns with each new installment. Perhaps Greta Gerwig‘s Narnia adaptation will be able to turn things around when it’s given a theatrical release by Netflix next year.

Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
