Can The Dark Tower Franchise Be Saved?
Den of Geek
The Dark Tower, the movie based on Stephen King's beloved fantasy-western-sci-fi-horror series, was one of the many summer blockbusters to receive a battering from fans and critics alike. Despite the fact that The Dark Tower opened at number one in the box office, making a little over $19 million in the U.S. (the irony of 19 million should not be lost on King fans), most view this adaptation as a failure. Certainly, the film's 16% "Rotten" score on Rotten Tomatoes hasn't done the film any favors.
