Do actors know if a movie is going to be "bad" or poorly received by critics before it is released?

I see some of these extraordinary actors doing terrible movies (in the eyes of critics and using Rotten Tomatoes as a reference).

I'm sitting here wondering why actors would choose to do some of these movies. Are they under contract? For the money? Because they thought it could be good? Their agent sold them on it?
