According to Variety, Ben Affleck's prohibition-era gangster movie 'Live by Night' is set to post a $75 million loss. As of this week, the film, which cost $65 million to make, has grossed a tiny $16.5 million. According to analysts, Live by Night's sub-par reviews and lack of Oscar buzz are a key reason why crowds did not head to the theatres to see it. The film was also released at a very competitive time of year box office wise and didn?t have the same allure that other movies such as La La Land or Manchester by the Sea offered to filmgoers.
