10 Worst Reviewed Films That Still Made Money

If you were to be told this was the fourth instalment in the Jaws series and your reaction was surprise that they made that many of them, then you wouldn't be alone.

The original film, based on the 1974 Peter Benchley novel of the same name, made more than $450 million dollars return at the box office, introduced the "Jaws theme" that has been parodied in every form of media since and is credited with launching the very concept of the Summer Blockbuster.

By the time "The Revenge" was released in 1987, it is fair to say that the shine was off the apple. Critically slaughtered and the least successful financially of the series, the movie suffered from being made in an extremely short time frame and some shoddy storylines which lacked the bite and intrigue of its predecessors.

All of that notwithstanding, this film turned a profit. Despite being another card-carrying member of the 0% club, it managed to make $51.9 million against a $23 million budget for a profit of $28.9 million. While it is not in any danger of being preserved in the Library of Congress like the original, the financial backers must have still been happy.
