John Goodman names the two movies he should never have done

John Goodman has named *The Monuments Men* and *Blues Brothers 2000* as films he probably should not have made, reflecting on his career during a SAG-AFTRA Foundation event in New York. He said films are now judged quickly by their opening weekend, while few of his own films have opened strongly.

Goodman recalled spending months in Europe making *The Monuments Men* with George Clooney and a prominent cast, and said he had a great time despite the film’s poor performance. He also enjoyed working with celebrated musicians on *Blues Brothers 2000*, though he felt it did not do well. The article connects his comments to the reported weak box-office start of *Digger*, which is projected to lose at least $245 million.
