Hollywood's obsession with franchises is costing studios millions | The Independent
'The last instalment managed $245.4 million, down from $342.4 million for Transformers 3 and $402 million for Transformers 2. '
'Also notable is the King Arthur disaster, the film taking just $140.3 million worldwide from a $170 million budget. '
'The fifth film in the series has earned $165.5 million domestically over almost two months, down from $241.1 million the last instalment grossed. '
' Whether that tactic becomes “making good movie” over “cashing in on franchises” remains to be seen. '
'Baywatch was expected to take $40 million opening weekend, but after some divisive reviews took just $18.5 million. '
