13. Ghostbusters

Why It Looks Awful: Despite writer-director Paul Feig's prior successes (Bridesmaids, The Heat, Spy), almost everything we've seen so far looks like a pretty desperate pimping-out of the Ghostbusters name, complete with lame, obvious gags, sub-par visual effects for a $150+ million movie, and simply little reason to believe the movie should exist in any way, shape or form.

Why It'll Make A Profit: Because it's Ghostbusters, it's from Paul Feig, and it boasts an excellent cast, not merely the four leads but also the surviving originals in cameo form. 

Though a budget of that size for a comedy sounds like a gamble, a whole new generation of kids are about to go see Ghostbusters... even if this one ends up sucking.
