10 Movies You Won’t Believe Were Box Office Mega Hits

10. The Pacifier (2005)

Yes, long before his Fast and Furious franchise evolved into one of the biggest box office juggernauts in the game and nine years before he was lending his unmistakable vocals to a talking tree, Vin Diesel took on the lead role in forgettable family action comedy, The Pacifier.

Fresh off of whooping all kinds of ass in the likes of XXX and The Chronicles of Riddick, this Adam Shankman-directed feature managed to show off the usually gruff and grizzly Rated 'R' star in a new light. Here, Diesel played a Navy SEAL by the name of Lieutenant Shane Wolfe tasked with his most complex and demanding mission yet: Looking after the kids of a scientist he failed to keep from being assassinated. Though the premise is actually quite intriguing, if not a little bit dark for a PG flick at a glance, the generic execution didn't sit well with most critics.

However, The Pacifier clearly appealed to a decent enough number of families around the world as the flick raked in almost four times more than its original budget, earning just shy of $200 million at the box office. If you give people the Peter Panda Dance, they will come.
