Jackie Chan was involved in what 2004 remake that bombed at the box office?

Jackie Chan was involved in the 2004 remake “Around the World in 80 Days,” which became a major box-office bomb. The film reworked Jules Verne’s famous adventure into a family comedy featuring Chan alongside Steve Coogan and Cécile de France.

Chan played Lau Xing, a Chinese valet who travels with eccentric inventor Phileas Fogg, played by Coogan. The movie was a remake of the 1956 film of the same name, which had won the Academy Award for Best Picture. The 2004 version added martial-arts comedy and cameo appearances by several performers, including Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The production was expensive, with a reported budget of about $110 million. It earned roughly $72.6 million worldwide, leaving it far short of the revenue needed to recover its costs. Its weak performance made it one of the better-known commercial failures associated with 2004 cinema.

The film is sometimes confused with Chan’s original Hollywood hits “Shanghai Noon” and “Shanghai Knights.” Those movies were Western action comedies, while “Around the World in 80 Days” was the costly globe-trotting remake that struggled at the box office.
