Hollywood is a hungry business welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
movie cash grabs I’m on my game today a
blockbusters box-office bank is a
Studios cash cow do you know what a
clitoris is oh but even surprise hits
aren’t exempt from a shameless milking
there are people trying to invade your
home gotta go
second wave for this list we’re looking
at sequels spin-offs prequels and
reboots that no one but business
executives asked for and/or designed
solely for the purpose of making money
that’s the worst thing they could say
about me in this dress uh who the hell
does she think she is number 10 the home
alone sequels home alone about an 8 year
old who’s left behind by his vacationing
family over Christmas is the
highest-grossing comedy ever shit don’t
get scared now
so of course Hollywood has to lose Kevin
McCallister again for part two and you
know what we’ll give you that one
cuz lost in New York has its moments
fine but when lead actor Macaulay Culkin
grew too old to continue part three lost
someone else it’s okay
it’s not you it’s the times thanks son
how many times can they leave a kid
unsupervised before someone calls child
services apparently at least two more
times even if some have to be TV movies
hold up are you telling me that you’re
really a ten-year-old who’s been left
home all by yourself and now
real thieves are trying to break in yep
and my sister’s trapped in the basement
right now so I gotta go number nine
Caddyshack
– why not are you talking this film
proves that a studio won’t let a cash
cow project die even if it’s plagued
with failures from the beginning of its
pre-production phase that one’s gone
lead actor and original cast member
Rodney Dangerfield quit his writer
director quit and only one guy from the
original film’s cast of five mains
grudgingly participated to make this
thing happen
well you’re gone now no one was laughing
with this comedy and not even to the
bank because it bombed big time was she
never set foot whose club we’re thinking
the talking Gophers to blame
number eight the American Pie presents
series Oh Oh J it’s not what it looks
like American Pie made over 20 times its
budget worldwide so no sequels would
have been bad business jackpot baby when
the third film in the franchise proved
that the well of teen sex comedy gags
was running dry Hollywood still fought
for more hi welcome
three of the four direct-to-video
American Pie presents spin-offs are
loosely based on new Stifler relatives
cuz little bros joining the family
business while the other one has nothing
to do with anything
so I think it’s time to try a new
approach the only thing these cash grabs
have in common with the original Eugene
Levy who is the only cast member to
appear in all the films
now doubt due to the tendencies you
alluded to earlier and and I have a
great rapport with the young people so I
just stepped in and volunteers that
treatment not in our band and we’re not
responsible for his action number seven
The Hobbit trilogy what are we done
squeezing over eight hours of film out
of a 300 page book is milking more than
any cow can produce huh you can’t come
in you come to the wrong house what does
it be cancelled no one told us no
nothing to be canceled absolutely after
announcing that the second Hobbit movie
would be split in two director Peter
Jackson defended New Line Cinema saying
it was more his decision than the
studio’s and that the choice had really
been made by JRR tolkien who’d written
extra appendices I wish you all the luck
in the world we suppose that’s fair
enough but no matter how passionate
Jackson is about the story there’s no
denying the fact that there are plenty
of fanboy bucks to be made here turn
around I do not come back number 6 s
Darko a Donnie Darko tale ok
oh no it this indie sci-fi movie which
was panned by critics and hated by
Donnie Darko fans was such a cash grab
fail that the first film’s writer
director Richard Kelly felt the need to
announce his lack of involvement long
before it was released in s Darko’s
defense it’s well intended efforts and
production were admirable it’s not very
important but everyone already knows or
should at least that no low budget
sequel could hold a candle to the
original I am so sorry especially
without Jake Gyllenhaal to hold the
fantasy reality world together I died
for you will you do the same
Tony like to try
number five jaws the revenge
with a new writer director cast story
and shark
we know that the movies only correlation
to the original Spielberg masterpiece is
its name depends on your point of view
in their desperation to capitalize on
the franchise the creators of this film
spared every expense on special effects
and forgot to tell a logical interesting
story no no no if you remain him right
away
you wouldn’t happen a wee man could find
Mohonk on the mountainside find your ass
with both hands let’s say a man even
better this one ignores the events and
continuity of the previous sequel it’s
never been a great way where we live
ever it’s one water they don’t like it
besides the branding the only reason
this movie exists is because scary ocean
movies were popular in the late 80s
it earned its rotten tomatos rating of
zero I had to do it there was nothing
else to do well I’m you shouldn’t have
done it dried chilli what’s going on
number four Book of Shadows Blair Witch
to we’re swoon accursed artisan
entertainment employees were tripping
over themselves to film a sequel ASAP
when the Blair Witch Project set the
psychological horror genre on fire and
made the found-footage horror film a
thing that’s why I’m here they wanted to
rush a sequel so quickly and so badly
that they couldn’t wait for the original
producers or directors to get on board
and trekked on without them more
capitalism based on fear and lies
betraying its predecessor by more
closely resembling a traditional horror
flick Book of Shadows actually did make
money but wasn’t any good
nobody’s scared
it’s a boy number three son of the mask
don’t like it here
save for Ben Stein we have an all-new
cast in this CGI filled family comedy
that features Jamie Kennedy and one
creepy baby it’s as if the producers
decided that the comedy and star power
of Jim Carrey’s original mask could be
replaced with as many visual effects as
possible I curse the day you created
that thing and they definitely focused
on quantity and not quality in that
regard
now hold on where’s everybody go so what
happens the dog gets a mask the Norse
gods get a mask the baby’s born with
mask powers mask mask mask it’s intense
stupid and kind of unsettling hey we
both knew who then like this right you
always set me up to fail at least in
that respect I’m living up to your
expectations silence number two dumb and
Dumberer When Harry Met Lloyd
oh I was supposed to Harry it’s hard to
believe that the studio had nine years
to release this poorly written prequel
in response to the cult status and
popularity of the original Farrelly
Brothers film you do that oh yeah she
can he did even with relatively unknown
leads replacing Jim Carrey and Jeff
Daniels and oddly inaccurate 90s
references for it’s 1986 setting it
actually had a theatrical run yeah what
was your name again
Harry Harry would be here but the
Farrelly’s had no involvement and we’re
not surprised okay so it’s settled it’s
up to you whether they’re bona fide
sequel writes this films wrongs what
stinks that’d be me sir
before we cash in on our top pick here
are some honorable or in this case
dishonorable mentions and you think
about me and I know you do how do you
picture it
Wow you have an actual camel cameltoe
it’s an awful lot of hair
why don’t you shut your mouth you were
an aggregate fence apartment and I think
you’re clara yeah it’s better to be
alone with yourself for the rest of your
life than to be together with bad
company for a minute I’m gonna be alone
for the rest of my life number one ace
Ventura’s une yer pet detective you’re
kidding me right
even as recently as five years ago
either they still hadn’t learned not to
make a sequel of a Jim Carrey comedy
without him or the people responsible
never cared alright the humour of Ace
Ventura is 1 & 2 layin Kerry’s unique
ability to act like a child while being
competent with his adult peers and
responsibilities ish that concept is
dismissed to market this sequel to
children and children alone that’s not
normal it was a disposable
direct-to-video movie and a show
business shame do you agree with our
list which cash grabs did we miss to
