Ultimate Movie Rankings Presents the Bad Blockbusters - Page 2

"Bad Blockbusters? What does that mean? A Bad Blockbuster is a movie that made a boatload of money ….yet …. received bad reviews from critics and audiences. We got the idea of listing the biggest box office hits with the worst reviews. Our movie data base has almost 29,000 movies. We created a query that listed all movies that had an adjusted domestic box office gross of over $200 million: the ceiling for earning points in the box office part of our equation. The query showed 814 movies that had reached the $200 million box office mark. Next we filtered out any movie that had a critic/audience score of 50% or higher. Of those 814 movies, 764 movies had a critic/audience rating over 50%. That left exactly 50 movies (which was a perfect number for us)….with less than a 50% critic/audience rating. Those remaining 50 movies are listed." - .ultimatemovierankings.com
