Sad, because Ronnie Howard is a great filmmaker - and he eschewed some of the CGI to shoot a "real" movie, where that was possible. I haven't seen it, but the choice of story seemed okay.
Maybe a disconnect with audience expectations. This more of a survival story than an adventure one - but the trailers tended to push the adventure angle.
Master and Commander was a commercial flop, too, but a great film, regardless.

It was a stupid marketing decision to continually repeat: THE STORY THAT INSPIRED MOBY DICK.
The general public immediately associates moby dick with a long and boring thing no one cares about.
Why not bill it as a survival piece about human spirit and grit or something like that.
