Forums - Movies & TV - What Box office hit do you think did not deserve its Billion dollar gross?

In my opinion:

Furious 7
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Transformers: Age of Extinction
Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace
Alice in Wonderland

I don't necessarily like all of the others, but those are the only ones that don't 'deserve' a billion. Avatar, for example, has a terrible plot and mediocre acting, but its special effects are what sold it.

avangers 2, it's the same movie as the first one



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Furious 7. ugh

Oh, and all the transformers movies.

why is it that we have a bunch of people in here saying that something doesnt deserve the success it got, but when i say that PS4 doesn't deserve the sales it has attained so far, everybody loses their shit and says things like, "who are you to say that they don't deserve the sales they got?" but now when it comes to movies, everyone has an opinion about what something deserves? i find that interesting.

You know what? F*ck it I'll agree with that statement (to an extent) it is a fact that the botched xbox one announcement sold a ton of PS4s  and while everyone harpped on the Wiius game drought people ignored the PS4s game drought. They have yet to release an exclusive that I actually want.

They're really not comparable in this context. When people complain about the WiiU's droughts, they're referring to several month periods during which the WiiU gets little, sometimes absolutely nothing, in the way of major retail releases.

The PS4 on the other hand has never had this issue. Even during its quietest months it still has a steady supply of major 3rd party titles, which while not enough for the minority who own a PS4 specifically for the exclusives (such as myself), is more than enough for the majority.

TL;DR: The WiiU's droughts are a big issue for most of the player base, the PS4's only to a specific group (who do indeed complain about it when the issue arises).

Frozen and Transformers 2-4.

Frozen was underwhelming and I have no idea how it did so well.

Every transformers movie after the 1st was trash. Each was worse than the last until the fourth one which was actually painful to watch. I have no freaking clue how it did so well.

Also, I didn't see furious 7, but if it was anywhere near as painfully outlandish and unrealistic as fast 6, then I vote that also.



Furious 7
Transformers 4
Alice in Wonderland
Titanic
Avatar
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Edit: Frozen as well.



Frozen

I didn't mind watchiung Furious 7 (though I know it's a ridiculous movie), but it in no way deserved to make that kind of money. Paul Walker had a ton of fans apparently. The next movie won't make even close to that.

Both Transformers that made it over, Alice in Wonderland. Otherwise I'm okay with most things on the list, whether I like the movies or not.


I agree, Paul Walker's death must have really gotten Furious 7 to be popular. Last movie (Fast and Furious 6) only did a little over half. 


F&F 6 made 788 million thats more than a little over half as it almost reached 800 million.
