In 2022 and 2023, star Jake Gyllenhaal had the rare good fortune of headlining arguably the two best movies of their respective directors' careers. Coincidentally, he also happened to have the misfortune of watching them tank at the box office. Guy Ritchie's The Covenant earned just $21 million globally against a reported budget of $55 million, while Michael Bay 's Ambulance grossed a little over $50 million worldwide against a budget of $40 million . Both movies remain the top-rated of their respective filmmakers' careers, according to the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The Covenant is a fixture on the global streaming charts, having clearly struck a chord with its 98% audience score on RT, but Ambulance is catching up to it as we speak.
