15 Terrible Looking 2016 Movies That Will Shockingly Make A Profit
We ain't afraid of no critics.
It's no secret that good movies bomb all the time and terrible movies make hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars. 2016 isn't going to be much different.
For every potentially awesome movie we expect to clean up at the box office, like Captain America: Civil War, there's a handful of atrocious-looking films that will similarly make huge bank...much to our disdain.
Now, this list crucially doesn't include Ben-Hur because there's a high chance it will bomb, nor does it include Alice Through the Looking Glass, because there is an outside chance it could end up being kinda-good.
No, instead, these are the year's movies we have the absolute worst, most rock-bottom expectations for, where our cynicism takes over as we realise that audiences en masse will lap them up no matter how bad they end up being.
Here are 15 terrible-looking 2016 movies that will shockingly make a profit...
15. The Legend Of Tarzan
The Premise: A re-imagining of the classic Tarzan story, where the title character (Alexander Skarsgård) has left the jungle and reinvented himself as a man of repute in London, only to be called back to the jungle when Captain Léon Rom (Christoph Waltz) hatches a diabolical plan.
Why It Looks Awful: This is one of those movies that nobody ever really asked for, so you have to wonder why they even bothered.
Though it's ridiculously star-studded (also counting Samuel L. Jackson, Djimon Hounsou, John Hurt and Jim Broadbent among its supporting cast), what we've seen so far looks visually atrocious (especially the CGI) and incredibly messy.
It doesn't help that reports have emerged that it's a problem movie for Warner Bros., as director David Yates is stretched thin between editing it and directing Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them at the same time.
Why It'll Make A Profit: The Tarzan name speaks volumes, and the super-attractive rising stars in Skarsgard and Margot Robbie (who plays Jane) should give it a good boost.
Most of all, though, it's Yates' name, as the final marketing push will no doubt tout the movie as "from the director of Harry Potter" until you're sick of hearing it. It might not be a smash hit, but it'll do well enough.
