10 Worst Reviewed Films That Still Made Money
10. The Ridiculous 6
We'll start off with the one entry on the list that doesn't exactly have a box office figure to speak of.
Made on a budget of $60 million by Adam Sandler for Netflix, this 2015 movie is a spoof of... well it's hard to know precisely what exactly. The name makes us think of the Magnificent Seven and indeed the generic Western setting and locations could bring to mind any amount of spaghetti westerns of a bygone era.
A lot of the "classic" story elements are incorporated as well, from unknown siblings to men who have been adopted into other cultures, but it's hard to pinpoint exactly what is being precisely mocked in Sandler's usual irreverent and lowbrow style.
The portrayal of Native Americans in the film as well as Sandler's own role drew criticism for, at best, racial insensitivity and at worst, sheer ignorance.
The success of this movie is difficult to quantify due to its method of distribution but given that it was the number one most viewed in all Netflix territories and most watched Netflix film ever in its first thirty days, it seems fair to surmise that it was a success, regardless of what the critics said.
