That’s about 50 times more than Johnny Depp’s critically mauled comedy _Mortdecai_ [managed to rake in](http://popwatch.ew.com/2015/01/25/johnny-depp-mortdecai-aftermath/?hootPostID=37efc1488da8c586ff52004c8caf501a) at the box office in its opening weekend, with a humbling $4 million in domestic returns. The display is a low point in a [string of failures](http://popwatch.ew.com/2015/01/25/johnny-depp-mortdecai-aftermath/) for the actor. It was the worst opening for Depp in more than a decade. _American Sniper,_ directed by Clint Eastwood, was released in select theaters in 2014 before expanding nationwide in January. In addition to its popular success, it’s been widely praised by critics and has been nominated for six Academy Awards, including best picture. Critics [haven’t been quite so kind](http://time.com/3679569/mortdecai-critics-reviews/) to _Mortdecai_. “It’s hard to think of a way in which the experience of watching the new Johnny Depp film could be any worse, unless you returned home afterwards to discover that Depp himself had popped round while you were out and set fire to your house,” [wrote](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/filmreviews/11356689/Mortdecai-review-psychotically-unfunny.html) The _Telegraph_‘s Robbie Collin. \[[_THR_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-american-sniper-hits-765695)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3681645/johnny-depp-american-sniper/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3681645/johnny-depp-american-sniper/"},"headline":"American Sniper Shoots Down Records as Johnny Depp Flops","datePublished":"2015-01-25T17:45:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T03:51:24.061Z","description":"Eastwood movie passes $200 million mark, as Mortdecai stutters out of the gate","url":"https://time.com/3681645/johnny-depp-american-sniper/","keywords":["movies","Box-office","Clint Eastwood","Johnny Depp","American Sniper"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7a5d31489c1a41a4/69877b84cd1bba73926f4cfb/mo_d22_03859_r.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Justin Worland","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/justin-worland/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7a5d31489c1a41a4/69877b84cd1bba73926f4cfb/mo_d22_03859_r.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"MO_D22_03859.NEF","caption":"MO_D22_03859.NEF","creditText":"David Appleby—Lionsgate","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3681645/johnny-depp-american-sniper/","name":"American Sniper Shoots Down Records as Johnny Depp Flops"}}]}] ```
