Have there been many trilogies/movie franchises where all the movies have actually been quite or very poorly received, but they raked in so much money, we got more of them?

Hi.

Hope you’re doing well.

I think most movies that get at least one sequel usually have a just one prerequisite, which is to turn a profit. It doesn’t often matter if the movie is particularly good or not as long as enough people are drawn to the movie that’s been released, whether that’s due to excellent marketing (that is better than the movie itself) or the movie is based on a series of very popular young adult novels and has more superficial qualities going for it but the young teen fans who devour the novel love it.

And, hey, if it makes its target audience happy, then that’s great.

Also, your picks could be a trilogy or contain even more films, but just a franchise.

I think the Twilight movies are the kinds of movies I’m describing and they have a lot of lust and attractive people involved and great supernatural elements, but they’re not considered “great” movies, though they’re very successful movies.

What are other movie franchises where none of the movies are really all that great (maybe not even good), but they keep getting made despite this? (Bonus points if the quality of each subsequent movie actually goes down, but they remain highly profitable)
