Discover the impact of failed franchise movies on the box office, revealing 12 flops that fell short of expectations.
Whether you like it or not, Hollywood is built on franchises, where successful films get an endless supply of sequels, spinoffs, and reboots that invite audiences to experience the stuff they liked over and over again. Most of these franchises are successful: our current industry is shaped by the young adult fantasy adaptations and superhero blockbusters that dominated the 2000s and 2010s.
Filmmaking is just as informed by hits as it is by flops, and sometimes the flops themselves are even more illuminating when it comes to gauging what makes a movie good, and what audiences actually want to see. In the past twenty years, we’ve seen an untold number of huge, expensive movies that underperformed, losing money for their studios as well as any chance of spawning any sequels. Some of these movies were not that bad, and maybe deserve another shot. Most, though, were pretty terrible.
We’ve decided to look back on 12 of the biggest franchise-killing flops, movies whose initial plans were full of promise but eventually fell apart, whether by studio mismanagement, bad directors, miscast actors, cringey effects, oversimplified plots, overly complicated plots, or a combination of everything. These movies are fun to look back on not because we liked them but because it’s wild to imagine what would have happened if they were hits.
