February 29, 2024Why do you think Damon Wayans couldn't break out in the same way Eddie Murphy did? Both were SNL alumni's and top tier stand up comics and both got their breakthrough in popular buddy cop movies.
Ready? This is easy. Blankman (1994) - lost money Major Payne (1995) - lost money Celtic Pride (1996) - lost money The Great White Hype (1996) - lost money Bulletproof (1996) - lost money Damon (1998 TV show) - cancelled after 13 episodes Bamboozled (2000) - lost money In fact, all of the movies above COMBINED only grossed $80 million. Mo' Money in 1992 was really his only successful movie with him in the starring role, and still only made $42 million. So that's $120 million for an entire decade of movies with him in a lead role. Eddie Murphy? $316 million on the first Beverly Hills Cop alone. $150 million on The Golden Child. $300 million on Coming to America. Damon Wayans picked shitty scripts. Or he's not as good as Eddie Murphy. Or both. All there is to it. More on reddit.com
