Films that grossed more than $1 billion at the box office, but were not liked by audiences (12 photos)
Let's look at the 11 most successful films in terms of profit, but received low ratings from ordinary viewers. Those who will still go to the cinema to see the sequel, what are you going to do! 
The success of a big studio film consists of two components: audience reception and box office receipts. It is unlikely that we will surprise anyone if we say that producers and studio bosses are more interested in the second point than the first. This is proven by the fact that sequels and threequels of films with bad ratings and a collection of “Golden Raspberries” continue to appear on the big screens. As long as people are walking around, such a product can be considered successful.
What can we say about those films whose box office receipts in dollars have reached the billion mark. We need to continue making films like this, even if people are already openly laughing at their plot (and this is not a comedy) and cringe at the acting.
Jurassic World: Domination (2022) 
Box office: $1.001 billion
IMDb: 5.6
The most recent example of a billionaire who was not appreciated. Let’s say right away that we will meet with this franchise again.
Despicable Me 3 (2017) 
Box office: $1.034 billion
IMDb: 6.2
“Despicable Me 2” fell a little short of the billion mark, but the ratings were much higher, and people didn’t like the threequel at all, but it made its creators rich.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Sunrise (2019) 
Box office: $1.077 billion
IMDb: 6.5
The current latest episode of Star Wars turned out to be the final blot of the saga in terms of quality. But there is little doubt that a continuation awaits us soon. Or a prequel. Or a spin-off.
Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) 
Box office: $1.104 billion
IMDb: 5.6
And immediately...
Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon (2011) 
Box office: $1.123 billion
IMDb: 6.2
Since the third part, Transformers, like Jurassic World, have become a franchise that exists to make money, and not to please anyone.
Captain Marvel (2019) 
Box office: $1.131 billion
IMDb: 6.8
And immediately...
Aquaman (2018) 
Box office: $1.148 billion
IMDb: 6.8
One representative each from Marvel and DC, which scored a billion, but did not reach the public.
Minions (2015) 
Box office: $1.159 billion
IMDb: 6.4
The Despicable Me spin-off took up the principles of its threequel from the very first part. People, of course, took their children to see the cartoon, but it was not easy to watch.
Fast and Furious 8 (2017) 
Box office: $1.236 billion
IMDb: 6.6
In this entire long-running franchise, which is already more of a meme than a series of films, there are only two billionaires: Fast and Furious 7 and Fast and Furious 8. The seventh part was able to remain at the level of 7 points out of 10, but the subsequent film was completely limp. However, not as much as the ninth part, which received the lowest ratings in the series (less than 6) and collected only 726 million. Just!
Jurassic World 2 (2018) 
Collections: $1.310 billion
IMDb: 6.1
And immediately...
Jurassic World (2015) 
Box office: $1.671 billion
IMDb: 6.9
The very first part of the modern sequel to the legendary “Jurassic Park” collected over one and a half billion dollars, which allows it to take eighth place in the list of the highest-grossing films of all time. However, at the same time, Jurassic World is the lowest rated film in the top ten in terms of profit. Also an achievement, but not as pleasant.
