9 Worst Billion Dollar Movies

At the start of this century, only one film - Titanic - had grossed over a billion dollars. Now? 36 films have crossed a billion worldwide and this tally is only looking set to increase.

As Incredibles 2 joins the billion-dollar ranks as member number 36, it's a good time to look back on all these ridiculously successful movies. The billion dollar club is definitely film's most exclusive club, but are the films in it deserving of their high grosses? For the most part, yes, but there are some glaring exceptions. There are a bunch of them which prove that high box office revenue doesn't mean high quality.

Such movies definitely did not deserve to have made so much money, but then again, a film's box office gross is very, very rarely dictated by its quality. Given how disappointing these films are and how expensive going to the cinema is, it's mysterious that so many people actually went and wasted their money on such undeserving movies.

These 9 movies are the billion dollar club's worst members to date and despite them being so successful, they certainly aren't too well-liked by many of the people that paid to view them.

First things first: Avengers Age of Ultron isn't a terrible movie but given the generally high standards of the billion-dollar club, it's certainly one of the club's worst members.

Age of Ultron is an insultingly safe, wildly over-stuffed and generally personality-free blockbuster that does little more than serve up one overdone set piece after another without giving its characters meaningful things to do or raising any stakes in the narrative. Worst of all, it's an entirely inconsequential movie that added nothing to the ongoing narrative of the MCU. Out of the franchise ranking, it's the 4th worst; only Thor, Iron Man 2 and Thor: The Dark World are below it.

This was a 2015 movie, a year which added five billion dollar movies (this, The Force Awakens, Jurassic World, Furious 7 and Minions) to the club, which is more than any other year.

Age of Ultron summarizes 2015 well; it was the year of over-hyped blockbusters that largely disappointed, with this, Spectre and Jurassic World embarrassingly being out-done by Furious 7 and Mission Impossible 5. Even in a year full of let-downs, Age of Ultron was arguably the most disappointing film of that year.
