Disappointment: Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp's film The Tourist looks set to take less than $20m on its opening weekend
Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp have bombed at the box office in their first ever film together.
Hollywood's hottest on-screen couple failed to grab the top spot at the US box office where The Tourist was set to take less than $20m on its opening weekend.
They were beaten into second place by The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
The third film made out of C.S. Lewis fantasy series was expected to take just over $30m to claim the top spot.
Despite the pulling power of Jolie and Depp, the thriller set in Venice, Italy, failed to attract moviegoers having received many poor reviews.
Movie experts said it took just over $6m on Friday and $7m on Saturday.
In comparison, the latest Harry Potter film took $125m on its opening weekend.
Hollywood blogger Nikkie Finke said the The Tourist, which cost $100m to make, underperformed to the 'point of desperation.'
Great expectations: It's the first time the two Hollywood stars had worked together on screen
Movie experts predict it will be pulled from US theatres in a matter of weeks with Hollywood studio Sony hoping it performs better overseas.
The Tourist was supposed to set the box office alight with the pairing of Depp and Jolie.
They are the two biggest names in Hollywood and their previous films have all performed spectacularly at the box office.
But The Tourist received scathing reviews with one saying the film crawls at a snail's pace.
Another reviewer wrote: 'Star power can cover up a multitude of shortcomings in a film. Turns out stupidity isn't one of them. Nor is a lack of chemistry when those stars are tossed into the same orbit.
'Throw in the feeling that they aren't really trying, but instead showed up for the mondo payday and the first-rate locations and you have... well, you have The Tourist.'
Depp and Jolie spent three months filming The Tourist in Venice creating mayhem as they were followed by paparazzi photographers.
In The Tourist Jolie plays the mysterious English girlfriend of a thief wanted for stealing millions from a British mobster.
As she flees Paris she meets an America maths teacher played by Depp on a train to Venice.
The pair end up on the run from the mobster's henchmen and British police as they race around the canals of Venice.
