The remake of 'The Crow,' directed by Rupert Sanders and starring Bill Skarsgård, has faced severe backlash, both critically and commercially, earning only $4.6 million in its opening weekend against a $50 million budget. Original director Alex Proyas expressed disappointment over the negative reception, emphasizing the film's connection to Brandon Lee's legacy and describing the reboot as a 'cynical cash-grab.' Critics have rated the film poorly, with a mere 19% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and fans have echoed this sentiment. Skarsgård himself criticized the film's ambiguous ending, wishing for a more definitive conclusion, a view that Sanders refuted, asserting that the ending was carefully crafted. Despite its failures, Sanders defended the film's artistic choices, claiming it was designed for a niche audience rather than a mainstream blockbuster. Overall, the film's tepid reception raises questions about the viability of remaking cult classics.
