Are his glory days over? He was in bad movies before, but it seems like he's been idoing nothing but bad movies lately. Here's a look at his 2020s output so far:

Cosmic Sin (2021) IMDb Rating 2,5
Breach (2020) IMDb Rating 3,0
Out of Death (2021) IMDb Rating 3,1
Hard Kill (2020) IMDb Rating 3,3
Survive the Night (2020) IMDb Rating 4,1
Midnight in the Switchgrass (2021) IMDb Rating 4,4

2010s

Air Strike (2018) IMDb Rating 3,2
10 Minutes Gone (2019) IMDb Rating 3,6
Extraction (2015) IMDb Rating 4,1
Vice (2015) IMDb Rating 4,2
Trauma Center (2019) IMDb Rating 4,2
Reprisal (2018) IMDb Rating 4,3
Setup (2011) IMDb Rating 4,4
The Prince (2014) IMDb Rating 4,6
Precious Cargo (2016) IMDb Rating 4,6
Lay the Favorite (2012) IMDb Rating 4,8

They don't even look like so-bad-so-good. They look like this-sucks. I wonder when Willis will make his first appearence in an The Asylum movie.

His last few big movies I saw him in, he just didn't seem to care about. His press interviews have been notoriously bad in recent years with him openly criticising his own movies.

I think he's just acting for the paycheck - which can't be all that much as most of these go direct to video or streaming - and it's sad really: I always liked him.

I don't think I have ever seen a Bruce Willis press Interview. So basically he doesn't care and only does them for the paycheck.

I can only think of one movie with him I liked- and that's PULP FICTION.

I always get things thrown at me when I say that I liked Hudson Hawk but I did and do.  :smile:

Agreed: the only good sequence was where he kills the Ice Cream Man.

I guess his own advice from 1987 doesn't apply anymore

I remember around the time Expendables 3 came out, Stallone made comments about how Willis was demanding way too much money. Perhaps part of the problem is that he simply priced himself out of the market and now can only get these low budget efforts.

That is exactly why he wasn't in Expendables 3: replaced by Harrison Ford.

According to the IMDB, he's got 12 films either completed or in post production! Wow.

Maybe if they order a dozen, they get one free?

I was thinking Nic Cage, but without the crazy appeal.

Bruce Willis net worth and salary: Bruce Willis is an American actor, producer and "musician" who has a net worth of $250 million.

I don't know how they come up with these numbers, unless Bruce Willis released these numbers by himself? With that kind of money he really doesn't need to do crappy movies.

They're generally wild guesses, though sometimes salaries for a bunch of films are known and they just add them together.  You can probably see how that doesn't make sense as a "net worth" either - people waste their money and give it away, and they also invest it and increase it.  So yeah, it's mostly just wild guesses.

Related, try looking them up for YouTubers, they're hilarious.

Mike Stoklasa, one of the founders and editors of RLM (they did the Plinkett Star Wars reviews, etc), has his listed as $18 million on one site.  Another lists it as $1.5 million.  Where does either come from?  They don't list sources of any kind.  I theorize they use stuff like Social Blade and Patreon gross intakes to make up something, but the thing is, they apparently never take COSTS into account.  A place like RLM rents a studio and has three full timers there, plus equipment, and the general public knows none of the costs of any of it.  So again, it comes down to wild guesses without much basis.

The most recent Willis flick I've seen was Cosmic Sin, a few months ago and it was a turkey.

I'm starting to wonder if he and Nicolas Cage have the same agent, cuz they seem to be on the same career path.

So I googled 'Bruce Willis net worth sources'. This is what I got:

Quote
Bruce Willis Salary Per Movie: The Sixth Sense is by far Bruce's biggest career payday. For the film he took an upfront salary of $14 million plus a large percentage of the gross receipts. In total he ended up earning around $100 million from the movie.

I watched Cosmic Sin on Netflix a couple of weeks ago, not exactly the best movie I've ever seen. Let's just say that.
