Based on the general malaise surrounding his most recent features, there was a belief that Roland Emmerich returning to the disaster genre would signal an upturn in fortunes, only for Moonfall to flop spectacularly.
The Master of Disaster hasn’t helmed a genuine box office success since 2012, and that was released 13 years ago, which is hardly encouraging. Even his $100 million World War II epic Midway failed to catch on, despite numerous projects proving the enduring popularity of the subgenre, most notably the likes of Saving Private Ryan, Pearl Harbor, Dunkirk, and even the fictionalized Inglourious Basterds.
