Once among the biggest names in Hollywood, John Travolta is now more punchline than powerhouse, with recent flops and career missteps overshadowing a legacy that once included Oscar nods and million-dollar paydays.
Despite iconic turns in Grease, Saturday Night Fever and a major comeback with Pulp Fiction, the 70-year-old actor’s more recent efforts have failed to land.
His latest films, High Rollers and Mob Land, barely registered with audiences — the latter pulling just £138 ($A287) at the UK box office, News.com.au reported.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
One Olivia Newton John(RIP) stayed classy, the other John Travolta has an aura of being a publicity hound in his later years.
Every dog has its day.
It is always better to retire when your on top
Never thought Travolta was an A list actor. Some great roles and good performances, that’s about it.
He’s 70. How often do megastar actors maintain such a high level of movie sales up to that age?
Up your nose with a rubber hose. So Shakespearean.
Wasn’t his career already dead once for over a decade?
John Wayne did.
I really enjoyed watching him in The Punisher. Especially his last two minutes on screen.
This is the 3rd time for him to drop. Had his first big time on Welcome Back Kotter & Saturday Night Fever, then dropped out with bombs like Staying alive and others.
Had a comeback with Look Who’s Talking and a couple others then dropped down again.
Made a third comeback with Pulp Fiction.
Actually, twice before. See my post on it.
Clint Eastwood
Just £138 or $A287? Pocket change? A movie only made that!?
Robert Duvall
Battlefield Earth
Voted worst movie in history!
Jon Voight
I thought this was sort of a typo. I figured it was a number of thousands or (unlikely) a number of millions. But wikipedia has a similar number -- Mob Land grossed $171 dollars. I have more than that in my wallet right now.
Give me a break. He’s 70, still employed as an actor, with one helluva resume.
Which is a shame because it wasn’t a horrible book.
After I read it I learned more about the whole Scientology thing. Yikes.
But it was fun sci-fi.
