"Unfinished Business," about a small-business owner (Vaughn) trying to land a big deal mixed in with hijinks across Europe, debuted to $4.8 million at theaters.

Analysts expected the film to tank, making between $5 million and $6 million upon debut.

The film received terrible reviews for being downright unfunny and unfocused.

The movie had a reported $35 million production budget.

"Unfinished Business" is the actors latest comedic bomb at the box office.

After a string of big hits through 2009, Vaughn's last four films have flopped upon entry.

Here's a quick look back at Vaughn's wide releases since 2005's "Wedding Crashers" with Owen Wilson:

MovieOpening WeekendWorldwide GrossEstimated Budget
Wedding Crashers$33.9 million$285.2 million$40 million
The Break-Up$39.2 million$205 million$52 million
Fred Claus$18.5 million$97.8 millionn/a
Four Christmases$31 million$163.7 million$80 million
Couples Retreat$34.3 million$171.8 million$70 million
The Dilemma$17.8 million$69.7 million$70 million
The Watch$12.8 million$68.3 million$68 million
The Internship$17.3 million$93.5 million$58 million
Delivery Man$7.9 million$51.2 million$26 million
Unfinished Business$4.8 millionn/a$35 million

Unless Vaughn's with another leading star - Jennifer Aniston in "The Break-Up" or Reese Witherspoon in "Four Christmases" - he doesn't bring a big audience on his own.

The 44-year-old actor's next big role will be on season 2 of HBO's hit "True Detective" which will also star Colin Farrell and Rachel McAdams.

The role comes at a dire time when Vaughn's role as a viable standalone movie star is going to be heavily scrutinized after several flops in a row.
