ELI5: How do movie studios get very famous actors for terrible movies?
gpt
There are also stories of when an actor does one movie to fulfill a contractual obligation. Or they do a crap movie to secure financing for a vanity or personal project. Also, release dates don't necessarily match when they were filmed.

I think it was Liam Hemsworth who had a year with multiple movies, where the breakout film was released first, with lower quality films that were made earlier came out after. So it appeared that a big star had made a bad movie or two, but in reality, he filmed those before he was famous.
