Badly. It destroys all momentum she had from the Game of Thrones business and proves to producers that she is not a big draw, and that she cannot headline a big budget movie (even with the amount of marketing clout invested to save it and put people in the seats).

She’s going to need to start from square one again, like Emilia Clarke and Terminator Genesys. Emilia Clarke might have managed to salvage her career from that misstep since Game of Thrones was still ongoing to keep her in people’s minds, and she had that wildly successful (if somewhat obscure) Romcom right after, but now Sophie Turner doesn’t have that luxury.

She now needs a “Me Before You” more than ever, or else her career as an actress will go up in smoke. She has a couple of projects still lined up, so as long as “Heavy” doesn't tank and flop like Dark Phoenix she might still rise up from this. Heavy, though, is a minor movie and is unlikely to be a huge blockbuster success, but we shall see.
