Here—a box office bomb starring Tom Hanks and Robin Wright—will try to find a new audience on Netflix this week.

Directed by Hanks and Wright’s Forrest Gump collaborator Robert Zemeckis, Here opened in theaters on Nov. 1, 2024. The logline for the movie—which Zemeckis mostly filmed with a single camera angle throughout—reads, “Here is an original film about multiple families and a special place they inhabit. The story travels through generations, capturing the most relatable of human experiences.”

Hanks and Wright—who through digital de-aging technology plays their characters at various stages of their lives throughout the film—star in Here as boyfriend and girlfriend-turned-husband and wife Richard and Margaret.

Paul Bettany and Kelly Reilly play Richard’s parents, Al and Rose, while Michelle Dockery plays Pauline, a widow who resided with her daughter in the home sometime before it was purchased by the couple.

According to Netflix, Here is debuting on the streaming service on Thursday, Jan. 30.

While Robert Zemeckis has continually taken moviemaking to heights, visually, throughout his career, the director—whose credits include Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the Back to the Future trilogy, Forrest Gump and The Polar Express—told The Wrap in a November interview that it’s “the characters in the story” and not “new technologies” that draw him to a project.

However, part of Zemeckis said part of his storytelling process is to find different ways to present those characters and stories to his prospective audiences.

“I do think that movies are supposed to be a mass entertainment medium and that our job as filmmakers is to entertain the audience,” Zemeckis told The Wrap. “And one of the things that I think that is wonderfully entertaining about going to the movies is that you can see things that you can’t see in real life, whether it’s going to a different time or different world or whatever. That’s what movies do.

“And so, having said that, one of the things that I think is what I’m supposed to do as a filmmaker is to say, ‘How can we present this moment a way that the audience maybe has never seen before?’ Because then that will be, in my mind, something that’s entertaining,” Zemeckis added.

Unfortunately for Zemeckis, Here was a box office misfire. According to The Numbers, the film only earned $12.2 million in North American theaters and $1.8 million internationally for a final worldwide box office tally of $14 million against a $50 million production budget before prints and advertising costs.

Rated PG-13, Here—starring Tom Hanks and Robin Wright—debuts on Netflix on Thursday.
