Ranking 10 Highest-Grossing Movie Franchises - From Worst To Best

10. Transformers

Rank: 9th Total Worldwide Box Office: $3,779,696,275 No. Of Films: 5 It's such a shame that a franchise as inherently putrid as Transformers stands as the 9th highest-grossing in motion picture history. Who actually likes the Transformers movies, after all? Why do folk keep going to see them, ensuring that each new (but oh so interchangeable) installment pulls in close to a billion dollars every year? Why?! The answer is... "Uh." You know, just a shrug, because there is no clear or obvious response to that question. People feel like they should go to the latest Transformers movie on the basis that they've seen all the others, apparently, lured by the promise of explosions and crude shots of teenage girls' asses as they run away from said explosions. When was the last time you enjoyed a Transformers flick, though? They're all terrible, nonsensical trash, save for the first one which is just about passable as far as blockbusters go. Anyway, this is the worst franchise of the bunch by far. Michael Bay: you truly suck.
