10 Terrible Movies That Still Smashed The Box Office

Back in the early 2000s, the cinematic landscape wasn't close to what it is today, as superhero movies were few and far between. Superman hadn't been seen for over a decade, and there hadn't been a good Batman film in years, which left audiences with just Blade and the X-Men. Until Spider-Man released, that is.

Sam Raimi's Spider-Man was a game-changer, with the sequel going on to surpass any and all expectations. Spider-Man 2 is still the best-ever Spidey flick in the eyes of many, but the same can't be said of Spider-Man 3, unfortunately. In fact, it's quite the opposite.

The bloated cast of characters that included more villains than the convoluted story could handle simply fell short as a follow-up, something that even Raimi himself has confessed years later. Hell, even the Amazing Spider-Man films are stronger than Spider-Man 3 in some regard, but the threequel still made Sony a lot of money.

Coming off the back of two outstanding efforts from Raimi and Tobey Maguire, the third in the series pulled in almost $900 million, more than either of the other two entries in the trilogy, both of which were way out of Spider-Man 3's league. Even after almost 20 years, emo-Peter's dancing still leaves a hilariously bad taste in the mouth.
