Box Office Poison outside of Iron Man, Sherlock Holmes?

Many of his films in recent years apart from Iron Man or the Avengers, and Sherlock Holmes haven't been hits. Why wasn't the Judge such a success and a box office hit? I don't remember, lets see. Was it not advertised as much, were the trailers and tv spots not appealing enough. What mores does he need?

Are you kidding? No one knew who Iron Man was except comic book geeks.

And I'd still call 100% profit on Due Date pretty decent. You're acting like the movie bombed. Even if it wasn't a runaway hit, RDJ was hardly "box office poison."
