10 Worst Reviewed Films That Still Made Money

5. 3 Strikes

Police Academy 4
MGM Distribution Co.

Another member of the 0% rating club on Rotten Tomatoes, 3 Strikes was released in March of 2000. The plot line centres around the American "three strikes" rule as it pertains to criminal offences - where habitual offenders receive a mandatory life sentence is they commit a third crime in certain states.

Written and directed by DJ Pooh; a man credited on two GTA games, multiple films and a noted record producer; as with the previous entry, one place where this film does manage to hold itself well is in the soundtrack department. The original score was composed by Stewart Copeland (drummer for The Police) and the album released of the movie soundtrack reached number 52 in the R&B charts.

Working against a budget of $3.4 million, 3 strikes managed to make it all back in its opening weekend by grossing just shy of $3.7 million. The eventual figure fell just short of the $10 million mark, netting $6.4 million.

While the Rotten Tomatoes score indicated no positive reviews whatsoever, other metrics are a little kinder to this film. IMBD has it at 4.8/10 and Fandango a fairly respectable 66%.
