While horror movies can be box office gold, sometimes they flop so hard that they end up killing their entire potential franchise in the process.
While not all horror movies can be major box office successes, some of them flop so hard that they end up killing entire potential franchises. Broadly speaking, horror movies are a relatively reliable investment for movie studios and producers. While other genres can require immersive world-building, complex visual effects, and sprawling stories to work, horror has a reputation for its bare-bones efficiency.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 8 Predator 2 1990’s Predator 2 had an ingenious premise. After the original Predator pitted Arnie and a squad of tough soldiers against an invisible alien in the jungle, this sequel brought the eponymous monster to the concrete jungle of LA. Predator 2 deleted its connections to the original movie to start afresh and largely succeeded since the sequel was a gory, fun follow-up to its predecessor. However, this came at a high price.
5 Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation 1994’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation has an impressive pedigree. The sequel brought back the original 1974 cult classic’s co-screenwriter Kim Henkel and starred both Matthew McConaughey and Renée Zellweger before they were famous.
3 The Rage: Carrie 2 It took director Brian De Palma’s Stephen King adaptation Carrie over 20 years to receive a sequel. This, in retrospect, should have been seen as a red flag. However, when The Rage: Carrie 2 arrived in 1999, the studio was optimistic enough to spend $21 million on the long-awaited follow-up. However, like many lesser Stephen King horror adaptations, The Rage: Carrie 2 flopped upon release.
