Historical accuracy is the least of the concerns for a war epic torpedoed by critics that cratered at the box office

Roland Emmerich was once one of the most consistently bankable and widely popular directors in the industry, but recent evidence points to the “Master of Disaster” losing his crown. Independence Day: Resurgence, Midway, and Moonfall all cost a mammoth amount of money, and yet only lived to disappoint on both the critical and commercial front.

It’s now been well over a decade since Emmerich landed a certifiable box office hit, but he can continue churning out big budget epics because they tend to be independently financed. In fact, Moonfall is one of the most expensive indies ever made at $140 million, while Midway was chump change by comparison at “only” $100 million.
