Keanu Reeves possesses a timeless quality. He continues to attract both new and diehard fans with his appeal. His ability to relate to a wide range of viewers is evidenced by his lasting popularity.
But not all of Keanu Reeves’ films have been as successful as The Matrix or John Wick. He has acted in many terrible movies. And there is one such movie that will surely surprise you.

The Matrix Resurrections Was a Box Office Disappointment

The fourth Matrix installment starring Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss is one of those Reeves’ movies that saw a massive blow at the box office. Made with a budget of $190 million, the movie could only able to make $160 million.

Despite the star power, much anticipation and the legacy of the franchise could not save the Matrix Resurrections. Keanu Reeves’ name will forever be intertwined with The Matrix trilogy.

This ground-breaking science fiction series, which was directed by Lana Wachowski, changed action filmmaking with its intricate plot and innovative visual effects and Reeves’ iconic portrayal of Neo also added to the success of the franchise.

Why Did The Matrix Resurrections Failed Miserably?

It was like, the audience event did not want this, rather the studio executives desired it to make. Though the movie was released at the time of COVID-19, even sans COVID-19, it would not be a hit either.

In addition, fans had the option to watch The Matrix Resurrections from the safety and comfort of their own homes as a result of Warner Bros.’ decision to simultaneously release the film on HBO Max.

Also, The Matrix: Resurrections was released at the same time as Spider-Man: No Way Home. Spider-Man: No Way Home with its all-star ensemble exceeded fans’ expectations in contrast to The Matrix: Resurrections.

Comprising The Matrix (1999), The Matrix Reloaded (2003), and The Matrix Revolutions (2003), this Matrix trilogy not only redefined the genre but also left an indelible mark on popular culture.
