Writer: Clive Steinbeck

Budget: $28,000,000

Foreign Box Office: $30,471,986

Total Profit: $3,131,852

Chloe Grace Moretz made her LRF debut in Season 2's darkly dramatic novel adaptation, The Secret History. The film managed to squeak by with a bit of a profit, but is more notable for garnering Moretz with her first GRA Nomination (Best Supporting Actress) for her first role with the studio.

Moretz was back a handful of seasons later in the teen rom-com Eleanor & Park, which was ravaged by critics and lost a chunk of change for the studio. Moretz's casting was a specific target for critics - finding her not particularly believable as an unattractive, wallflower high school student at that point in her career.

Domestic Box Office: $52,923,619

Writer: Andrew Doster

Budget: $27,000,000

Domestic Box Office: $20,147,096
