Nick Robinson started his LRF career with a bang back in Season 2, but since then has mostly appeared little-seen, poorly-received films. He's back with what could be a return to form for the young actor this round in Amityville. Here's a deeper look at his filmography....
Season 2
Blood Meridian
Director: Jeremy Saulnier
Writer: Dwight Gallo
Budget: $67,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $43,749,080

Total Profit: -$5,438,685
Nick Robinson's LRF career started off strong with Blood Meridian. While the film just missed out on a profit, critics adored the dark, brutal western, which even managed a Best Picture nomination (back when there were only 3 nominees).

Robinson had his first taste of box office success as well as another film nominated for Best Picture on his resume with Synthetic, where he plays a young man raised by two robots to be the future of mankind.

Budget: $19,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $19,841,060

Later in the same season, Robinson had a role in the ensemble of the horror remake Demons. The film did manage to make a little money, but critics were, well, critical of this film - the only film from writer Gabe Winsor.

Robinson was back in Season 8 to re-team with Demons director Eli Roth on the Youtube-themed horror project, Queen Mary. Despite featuring a murderer's row of hot young Hollywood talent, Queen Mary flopped at the box office and with critics.

Critics were mixed on Robinson's next project, the true crime film about Elliot Rodger, the 2014 Isla Vista shooter. Audiences didn't seem much more interested than the critics as the film was another flop for Robinson (his first as the top-billed talent).

Robinson was next seen in Season 24 as part of the ensemble cast of the studio's first (and so far only) attempt at an old-school horror anthology film. Critics were slightly favorable toward the film, but it was yet another sizable box office flop.
