13 Terrible Looking 2018 Movies That Will Shockingly Make A Profit
11. Sherlock Gnomes
Release Date: March 23
If you could make it through the trailer for Gnomeo and Juliet sequel Sherlock Gnomes without cringing your face into a fist, congratulations.
Even with an all-star cast including original stars James McAvoy and Emily Blunt, alongside new cast members Johnny Depp - as the porcelain detective himself - and Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sherlock Gnomes looks like a warmed-over follow-up to the 2011 surprise hit that's arriving at least a few years too late.
The painfully bad dialogue, low-effort toilet humour and unremarkable animation should combine to make this a charmless reprise few actually asked for.
Predicted Box Office: $130 million. The first movie made an impressive $194 million worldwide, but it's fair to say that the sequel is facing far tougher competition, opening the same day as Pacific Rim: Uprising and a week before Ready Player One.
At least it's not in immediate competition with them, so it should still be able to carve out a decent enough niche for itself to easy box office success. Plus, it's on the softer side budget-wise for a theatrical animation, costing an estimated $40-50 million, so it's all gravy.
