There is often a big gap between the critical reviews and the financial performance of the film, as many negative reviews do not have much effect on the box office earnings. Critics can still pour pus over the film, but that won't stop people from watching it. But that's not always the case. In fact, in most cases, the success of a film depends on the reviews of film critics. But every exception proves the rule. The latest example is the film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which failed to survive due to disappointing reviews and negative publicity (in contrast to Ben Affleck), and the film studio received a rich return on its investment. Check out what other movie blockbusters have been ripped apart by film critics, but they still turned out to be a successful project.
When the movie came out Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and he let himself go an avalanche of criticism, it seemed that the film studio (Warner Bros. Pictures) suffered severe financial losses. But people are on opinions of film critics this time they whistled like they hadn't in a long time. This reminded us to dig a little through the film archive and check for similar cases when it seemed that the film would be financially doomed, but it had negative critical reviews they didn't do any harm at all and it filled the pockets of the filmmakers quite nicely.
