Guy Ritchie's first film in two years, "In the Grey," experienced a major disappointment at the domestic box office. This action-thriller brought Ritchie back together with his former collaborators Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Eiza González. However, the star power was not enough for "In the Grey," which received mixed reviews from critics. The film fell outside the top five at the domestic box office, earning significantly less than Ritchie's previous works, "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" and "The Covenant."

While Ritchie hasn't had a successful film at the box office in the last five years, he has consistently found success on streaming platforms. His last real box office hit was "Wrath of Man," starring Jason Statham, which grossed over $100 million worldwide. Following this crime-thriller, Ritchie and Statham returned with "Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre," but this film only managed to earn $6.5 million domestically.

Ritchie's "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" ended with a gross of $20 million against a budget of $60 million. "The Covenant" only made $17 million in North America. Ritchie's latest film, "Fountain of Youth," was released on Apple TV and had a production cost of $180 million. This situation highlights how challenging it has become for Ritchie to achieve box office success.

In conclusion, the failure of "In the Grey" to meet expectations could mark a turning point in Ritchie's career. Despite its star-studded cast, the film struggled to attract audiences, compounded by the mixed reviews from critics. This serves as a warning for Ritchie's future projects.
