Movies that were supposed to resurrect their franchise, but instead killed it?
What movies were intended to resurrect their franchise, but for whatever reason ended up so bad that they essentially killed their franchise?

I wouldn't say it killed the franchise, but Superman Returns obviously delayed it and forced WB to go in a different direction.

Wasn't Green Lantern originally supposed to have been the first movie in the DC Cinematic Universe? I know they definitely planned a sequel since the ending sets up the Sinestro Corps with his yellow ring.
Marvel also originally planned an Incredible Hulk sequel. They set up the Leader to be the villain in the sequel. |

I didn't see it but I read that the last Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie pretty much got panned by even the film's fans.

Not monetarily but Episode 1 killed Star Wars for many fans.

Don't forget about the Friday the 13th reboot either despite having a massive opening weekend (and then one of the biggest second weekend drops in history). |

Yeah, but I think they still got a sequel out of it.

The X-Files: I Want to Believe (financially, at least).... still keeping my fingers crossed for a small screen revival.

I think there's a season 10 comic. Don't know if it's any good though. ITB came out at a really odd time long after the peak of the show's popularity, it's timing was rather odd.

I really wish I could say The Amazing Spider-Man. :mad:

It certainly points to that if there's consideration for a Spider-Man crossover in to the MCU, and with TASM3 getting delayed. There's still no guarantee that ever gets made.

Sony has to keep making Spidey movies to retain the rights. It's why ASM was rushed in the first place was because time was running out. (It's also why Fox is rushing the Fantastic Four movie.) Sony is definitely never going to let the time run out, so they are going to keep pumping them out. |

Highlander: The Source was supposed to start off a new movie trilogy focusing on Duncan's baby. That didn't happen needless to say.
