To determine the worst movie sequels, 24/7 Wall St. “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2,” which was near universally panned by critics, grossed $71 million, almost double its production budget at the domestic box office. Perhaps, not surprising, it grossed less than $400,000 in the U.S., compared to the earlier film’s $25 million gross. “Piranha 3DD” cost approximately one-fifth of “Piranha 3D” to make. Many of these sequels had a fraction of their predecessors’ production budgets and proceeded to flop in the domestic market. The 17 horror movies on the list include sequels to “Friday the 13th,” “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” and “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.” The 25 comedies include sequels to beloved films such as “The Mighty Ducks” and “Caddyshack.” Fans of these types of films may have higher tolerances for “bad” movies and are willing to give sequels a chance if they are in some way tied to a successful earlier film.
