It’s no surprise that many movies have tried to copy the repeating success of a film franchise. No one movie alone can beat the strength of a franchise in terms of box office. Everyone beginning film wants to be the next Star Wars, Harry Potter, or Lord of the Rings. But where these franchises have succeeded, about 3-5 have failed. Below you’ll find The Golden Compass, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, and Eragon. While not all these films are bad [Mystery Men is in there, and I absolutely loved that movie], either their box office or uncommitted stars stopped these films from become sequels or even more.
