These Hollywood Box Office Results Remind Us How Hard It Is To Make A Franchise

Fantastic Four (2015)

One of the most famous examples of superhero flops in recent years. This catastrophe is a mixture of interfering studios, erratic directors, unpredictable reshoots, and a betrayal of the source material. The production was riddled with controversy, and director Josh Trank has spoken out about how badly he feels he was treated.

 Fantastic Four was a structural and tonal mess – killing the franchise and setting Fox back $100 million. The director was fired from his upcoming Star Wars project and left Hollywood for three years.
