![]() The movie is based on the fourth Robert Langdon book in Dan Brown's bestselling series, with everyone involved wisely choosing not to adapt the third novel, 'The Lost Symbol', primarily because (this is my guess) that the book's story is too closely similar to the Disney hit film, National Treasure 2. While it nowhere near ranks as one of my favorites of the past year (and it was one of my most highly anticipated movies), story-wise it's on par with the previous two installments, with all the good and bad that entails. So to say 'Inferno' was a big disappointment for Sony is putting it mildly, but honestly you can't really blame the film itself. Despite making a nice amount overseas, the movie was nothing short of a dud here, pulling in only $34 million domestically (the prior Langdon movie made $133 million in 2009 dollars, which is about $153 million in 2016 dollars). That thud you heard last year was the sound of 'Inferno' arriving at the American box office.
