George Clooney's "Suburbicon" didn’t just struggle at the box office. The film this weekend became one of Paramount Pictures' worst performing wide-releases ever, and it marked a new box office low for Clooney as a director and for star Matt Damon. It earned just $2.8 million at the box office, though it cost $25 million for Black Bear Pictures to produce and $10 million for Paramount Pictures to distribute. It was the second-worst box office debut for Damon’s career, only behind 2000’s “All the Pretty Horses.”Paramount Pictures has recently backed several divisive releases from respected filmmakers, including Darren Aronofsky's "mother!" which also sputtered at the box office and earned an F CinemaScore grade.
