Career-Ending Box Office Failures for Hollywood Celebrities

Despite Jackie Chan’s global stardom and immense success in the 1990s, his 2004 collaboration with Disney on Around the World in 80 Days failed to resonate with audiences. The film, intended to showcase Chan’s charm and action-comedy prowess, underperformed at the box office and received lukewarm reviews.

Disappointed by the film’s lackluster reception, Chan stepped back from Hollywood, focusing instead on projects in Asia, where his popularity remained strong. The experience highlighted the challenges of maintaining consistent success in Hollywood, even for a globally beloved star like Chan.
