Bad movies because of box office sales

                           

Movies today are considered "bad" because they don't or didn't make enough money in ticket sales.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008): This third installment in the "Mummy" franchise was a critical and commercial disappointment, grossing only $403 million worldwide against a production budget of $160 million.

Yes,,408 versus 160 and it was a commercial disappointment.  Ill agree that the movie was not the best out of the three. 

It was however entertaining.

Isn't that what a movie should be,  entertaining? Not every movie made has to lead to a franchise like Marvel's or StarTrek.

I,Frankenstein was entertaining.  It was supposed to be the opening of a modetn day monster movie franchise. I say a modern day monster movie franchise because way back when, there were a series of movies made such as Dracula and the Wolfman and several others.

The whole idea was scrapped because of ticket sales.   It grossed about 77 million on a 65 million dollar budget. 

Tom Cruise's The Mummy was again an attempt at a franchise.  The movie  grossed $410 million, against a production budget of $125 million. All ideas of any future monster movies were thrown off the drawing board because the studio didn't feel that there was enough interest.

I could go on and on with more examples.  I think I've gotten the point across
