As on John Carter, foreign audiences embraced the film and its IMAX and 3D exhibitions more than domestic ones, but not enough to lift this costly production out of the red. When the dust settled not long after its release, Jack the Giant Slayer had grossed even less than John Carter, albeit on a slightly lower budget. What it did do was invite comparisons to John Carter, which 51 weeks earlier had bombed spectacularly following similar title changes and marketing doubts over at Disney. That move eased the competition, but didn't seem to help Jack find an audience. A more telling one delayed the film from its scheduled mid-June 2012 debut to March 2013. The softened title was one sign of studio reservations.

This semi-remake was shot with the same title, but Warner changed 'Killer' to 'Slayer' in an apparent effort to make this expensive film more palatable to families. While the beanstalk yarn has typically been adapted as cartoon shorts or for television or video, the more action-oriented legend did become a medium-sized live-action adventure with stop-motion effects in 1962's Jack the Giant Killer. In fact, Jack the Giant Slayer draws from both that children's tale and an Arthurian variation a hundred years older. Pictures and New Line Cinema, the studios most seasoned in blockbuster contemporary fantasy, the 19th century fairy tale was a viable foundation for a $200 million tentpole.

To some, the story of Jack and the Beanstalk may have seemed nearly as preposterous for big budget action spectacle treatment as the board game Battleship.
