8. Spider-Man
Total Box Office: $2.5 billion Sometimes a trilogy can fall foul at the very last hurdle and that was the unfortunate case with Sam Raimis mostly brilliant Spider-Man series. The first two films of the trilogy were pretty much universally loved, managing to both woo critics and cinemagoers alike and achieving record-breaking box office sales. But what happened next was as spectacularly bad as the first two were great. Sadly, Spider-Man 3 had fans asking themselves what the hell had happened to the once very promising trilogy. Its convoluted plotline, overabundance of villains and Tobey Maguires bizarre dancing conspired to make it the worst received part of the trilogy and even Raimi himself was disappointed with the film calling it awful in a Nerdist podcast and stating, Its a movie that just didnt work very well. I tried to make it work, but I didnt really believe in all the characters, so that couldnt be hidden from people who loved Spider-Man. Unsurprisingly the planned fourth instalment was cancelled before it came into fruition though its reboot, The Amazing Spider-Man, hit screens in 2012.
