Johnny Depp has officially lost it. I haven't seen his new movie, "Transcendence," but I've read enough reviews that say I shouldn't. Apparently, the rest of the country read the same thing. The sci-fi thriller that (from its previews) sort of reminds me of "The Cell" tanked at the box scores this weekend. It made $11 million, or around 10 percent of its $100 million budget, aceshowbiz reported. By comparison, the "Captain America" sequel has made $200 million in the 21 or so days since its release.

For the second week of the past three, "Captain America" won the weekend money list. After falling short of "Rio 2's" $45 million last weekend, it made $26 million this past one against a relatively weak cast of films. Trailing it was "Rio 2" at $22.5 million and the debut film "Heaven is for Real" ($21.5 million). "Transcendence" was number four.

Depp is essentially 0 for his last 4 at the box office and among critics after "Transcendence," "The Long Ranger" (2013), "Dark Shadows," (2012), and "The Rum Diary" (2011). Depp's troubles have gotten so deep that Forbes wrote an article yesterday titled, "The Johnny Depp Problem." The article used Depp as an example to show how the quality of a movie is now more important its stars. Rentrak senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian would agree.

"As we approach the summer movie season, box-office drawing power becomes more about the concept of the movie rather than its star," Dergarabedian told the AP. "It may not have been so much [about] Johnny Depp, but audiences right now like brands that they know."

Really, Depp's last solid film was probably 2004's underrated thriller, "Secret Window." HIs last really good one was the first "Pirates of the Caribbean."
