They have nothing to gain by intentionally tanking a movie; aside from extending their trademark rights and maintaining licencing arrangements, or something like that. Which, actually, could totally be it.
While I don't necessarily think it was intentionally tanked, I'd say that Fantastic Four (2015) happened because 20th Century Fox just wanted to extend their ownership of the rights and didn't care about the quality of the movie at all.
That's what I meant; "intentional" in the sense of a willful lack of any effort beyond "necessary". Sci-fi movies like these are essentially CGI boner-fests; simply cheaping out on the render-farm server time could be seen as intentional sabotage.
They hired the worst team possible to make this movie; really, no one should be surprised over the outcome.
