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

The Wolfman (2010)

The Wolfman is another example of how remakes aren’t destined for success. This was the first attempt from Universal to kickstart a monster-movie franchise. Even big stars like Benicio del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, and Emily Blunt couldn’t attract audiences.

It made $140 million at the box office and failed to make back its $150 million production budget. You also have to consider additional marketing costs, the loss totaling up to $80 million. When it comes to Hollywood flops, this is one of history’s shining examples.
