The Lone Ranger tanked due to erroneous critics reviews: Johnny Depp

The Lone Ranger’s lead actorJohnny Deppand producerJerry Bruckheimer came out the first time and spoke about why the film failed on the box office. The actor said thatcriticscrumbled the flick globally. Johnny talked in an interview, “I think the reviews were written seven to eight months before we released the film.”

The actor continued his statement, “I think the reviews were written when they heard Gore (Verbinski) and Jerry (Bruckheimer) and me were going to do ‘The Lone Ranger’. They had expectations that it must be a blockbuster. I didn't have any expectations of that. I never do.” Bruckheimer gave his consent to Johnny’s verdict saying, “I think they were reviewing the budget, not reviewing the movie. The audience doesn't care what the budget is—they pay the same amount if it costs a dollar or $20 million.”

He concluded his opinion with the comments, "It's unfortunate because the movie is a terrific movie, it's a great epic film. It has lots of humor. Its one of those movies that whatever critics missed in it this time, they'll review it in a few years and see that they made a mistake." The film that opened in US on August 3 has grossed $86 million till yet and will open in UK theaters on Friday.
