14 Terrible Looking 2017 Movies That Will Shockingly Make A Profit
Because quality doesn't mean squat.
It's no big secret that there's little correlation between success and quality in Hollywood, as evidenced by the litany of atrociously lazy, cynical blockbusters, horror flicks and animated films that can't help themselves but make money.
Now, this list isn't taking aim at movies that will make stacks of cash in spite of being mediocre or even bad, such as Transformers: The Last Knight, but rather those truly dreadful, potentially worst-of-the-year efforts that will defy horrendous Rotten Tomatoes scores to rake in the big bucks worldwide.
You'll be left wondering how films so terrible can squeeze so much out of paying customers, and then you'll remember that Donald Trump is President, and it'll all make sense.
14. Amityville: The Awakening
Release Date: June 30
Why It Looks Terrible: For starters, it's yet another Amityville movie (the nineteenth, in fact), but the real kiss of death here is the fact the film began shooting three years ago, has been delayed numerous times, and even had belated re-shoots last year.
Finally arriving more than two years after its originally intended January 2, 2015 release date, you'd be insane to expect anything above 5% on Rotten Tomatoes. If there's this much internal hand-wringing going on about a bad horror movie, you know it has to be really, really bad.
Why It'll Still Make A Profit: Horror movies almost never lose money, and considering the value of the Amityville name, not to mention how popular star Bella Thorne is with the teen crowd, this one will be an easy success even if its distended post-production schedule and already notorious reputation will probably dent its profits somewhat.
