The amount of money that a product makes isn't always indicative of its quality. After all, a lot of objectively bad things end up being really popular, often because people sometimes want to just watch/listen to/play/etc. something simple and easy that doesn't require too much mental effort.

Still, the fact that some truly awful movies have managed to earn over a billion dollars at the global box office is confounding, especially when we often see great movies completely bomb. But so it goes, as illustrated by this list which gathers the ten worst (according to the website Rotten Tomatoes) movies to ever gross $1 billion+ worldwide. Just so nobody thinks that the moviegoers of the world only line up for bad films, we also went ahead and included ten billion-dollar movies that are great in order to balance things out.

20 Worst: Aladdin

Trying to step into the shoes of an absolute legend like Robin Williams isn't an enviable task for anyone— but Will Smith smartly ended up bringing his own unique spin to the character of Genie for the Aladdin remake rather than trying to imitate Williams' classic performance. Still, critics weren't too kind to the movie as a whole despite their praise for most of the performances, and felt that the new Aladdin was a bland and unnecessary retelling of one of Disney's best-loved movies.

19 Best: Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Fans have been all over the place on their thoughts about the most recent run of Star Wars movies, but critics have been pretty high on all of them. The long-awaited seventh episode in the "Skywalker Saga," The Force Awakens drew some of the strongest reviews in the history of the franchise, making us nostalgic for a time when the world seemed to briefly be united in their reignited love of Star Wars before things went sour among the fandom (again).

18 Worst: Minions

The Despicable Me franchise has been one of ever-diminishing returns, with none of the sequels able to recapture the fun of the original. But by far the worst of the series has been the spin-off that focused entirely on the minions characters, whose headlining movie was, not surprisingly, aimed squarely at the humor and sensibilities of toddler-aged moviegoers. The minions are much better in small doses— as a constant presence throughout an entire movie, it got real old, real fast.

17 Best: Finding Dory

Pixar's non-Toy Story sequels have been a mixed bag, though even at their worst, they tend to be reliably fun new adventures with old favorite characters at the center. Well, except for Cars 2— the less said about that, the better. Finding Dory sees the titular character and her friends going on a fairly cliched ride, but her irresistible charm— and the way it plays off Ed O'Neill's grumpy octopus— make it a ride well-worth taking nonetheless.

16 Worst: The Lion King

When a movie is built almost entirely with computer-generated images, is it still accurate to call it "live-action?" That is just one of the many baffling questions surrounding 2019's Lion King remake, a list of quandaries that also includes, "Why create animals that lack the ability to physically express emotion and put them in a story that absolutely requires animals to physically express emotion?" The general consensus was that The Lion King was a stunning technical achievement, but a disappointing artistic one.

15 Best: The Dark Knight

It's been over a decade since The Dark Knight, the second installment in Christopher Nolan's brilliant Batman movie trilogy, released. And despite the fact that something like 2,000 comic book movies have been released in that time, many people still consider The Dark Knight to be unrivaled among films based on comic books. Actually, many people consider it unrivaled among films, period. Grittier, more complex, and more mature takes on the comic book movie genre like Logan and Joker would've never been possible without the critical and commercial success of The Dark Knight.

14 Worst: Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Remember when Pirates of the Caribbean movies were actually good? The last time the world seemed to unanimously love an installment of this series was the original— and it wasn't exactly a gradual decline after that given that this, the very first sequel, was already earning poor marks from critics across the board. Alas, knowing that a Pirates movie didn't actually have to be good in order to bring in boatloads of cash set the trend for the series that quality wasn't required for box office gold.

13 Best: The Incredibles 2

When original Incredibles was released, superhero movies hadn't completely dominated Hollywood yet— so it was still something of a novelty when a movie came out that starred superheroes and was actually good. The Incredibles 2 released into a marketplace that saw an embarrassment of riches for quality superhero films, and still managed to stand out and show a unique side to the world of superheroes that earned just as much critical praise as the first movie.

12 Worst: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

Ah yes, this is where it all started to go wrong for Star Wars. After a nearly-perfect trilogy of sci-fi classics that wrapped up over fifteen years prior, The Phantom Menace had an amount of hype and anticipation behind it that no movie could've ever possibly lived up to. Still, even with those kinds of odds against it, Menace was largely viewed as a bad film even taking on its own merits. That the groundbreaking The Matrix also released that year didn't help matters much for the stubbornly old-fashioned prequel.

11 Best: Avengers: Endgame

There was a time when it seemed like there was no way that an Avengers movie would ever be anything but a huge disappointment. Past attempts at huge superhero team-up movies either fell flat on their face, or got stuck in years of development problems that they never escaped from. So, the fact that Endgame— the climax of over two dozen interconnected films— was deemed a smashing success by critics and fans alike is a feat we shouldn't take for granted.

10 Worst: Alice In Wonderland

While most of us became Tim Burton fans precisely because of the unsettling, edgy vibe of his films, the shtick began to wear a bit thin in the 2000s as he started to do remakes of classic family movies with a jarring and unnecessary level of creepiness. Following Burton directing Johnny Depp as a Willy Wonka that was more terrifying than lovable, the duo brought us this Alice in Wonderland adaptation that not only has another needlessly creepy Depp performance but just on overall vibe of trying way too hard to be dark and gothy.

9 Best: Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - Part 2

The Harry Potter films had a somewhat uneven ride with critics— and worse, after the critically-acclaimed Prisoner of Azkaban, producers got cold feet and retreated back to safer, more formulaic waters for the next few installments. Luckily, they got their act back together just in time for the series' final installment, The Deathly Hallows, which— after a dull first half with Part 1— ended one of the most successful movie franchises of all time with a fitting and satisfying bang.

8 Worst: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Jurassic Park was so well-loved that its two disappointing and unnecessary sequels did little to taint the world's opinion of the franchise as a whole. After a surprisingly fun revival by way of Jurassic World made a ton of money, it seemed like the series had fully returned— and led to retroactively adopting the "Jurassic World" title for the entire franchise. Fallen Kingdom at least tried to do something a little different, being a bit more of a horror movie rather than a fun action romp, but critics weren't impressed and gave the movie the franchise's worst reviews to date.

7 Best: Toy Story 4

Okay, so Toy Story 4 is nobody's favorite Toy Story. In fact, the general consensus is that it's probably the worst of the Toy Story movies. However, being the "worst" of a franchise that consists of nothing but great movies is hardly a standing to be embarrassed by. While Toy Story 3 seemed to be the perfect way to ending the story of Woody, Buzz, and company, it turns out there was still some unaddressed closure that needed to be brought to the group, and Toy Story 4 did that beautifully.

6 Worst: Transformers: Dark Of The Moon

Much like with the Pirates of the Caribbean series, the only Transformers movie that everyone seemed to like was the first one, and the rest have been dreadful while inexplicably making an obscene amount of money. In case you're having trouble differentiating one Transformers movie from another, this is the third and final appearance of original human protagonist Sam Witwicky, played by Shia Labeouf. It was also the acting debut of model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, a performance which was at the heart of a lot of critics' issues with the film.

5 Best: Black Panther

Despite a very vocal minority— that happens to include controversy-baiting director Terry Gilliam— the overall consensus is that Black Panther is one of the best MCU movies to date. While the movies that propel the overall MCU narrative forward tend to have a similar style and tone, Black Panther— like the better MCU origin movies—  was a chance for the series to break away a bit creatively and do things that the "mainline" MCU movies probably couldn't. If more comic book movies were as good as Black Panther, maybe the Terry Gilliams and Martin Scorseces of the world wouldn't be so down on them.

4 Worst: Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

After Dead Man's Chest broke the billion-dollar barrier and follow-up At World's End got very close, it shouldn't have surprised anyone that a fourth Pirates movie would eventually be released in spite of the poor critical reception the series had become known for. Sure enough, four years later, Johnny Depp returned with new co-star Penélope Cruz for another billion-dollar-earning installment that also took a critical nosedive from the previous film. Basically, the movie's— and Depp's— shtick has just worn thin after four movies in eight years.

3 Best: Zootopia

A lot of people were sad to see the end of Disney doing feature-length movies using traditional animation, The Princess and the Frog being the final such film. But it's hard to argue with the fact that Disney animated movies haven't suffered in overall quality since the shift to computer animation, as evidenced by the wonderful Zootopia. A meditation on bigotry and tolerance hidden beneath the exterior of a world full of cute humanoid animals, Zootopia is one of those movies that children will want to watch again and again— and parents might as well.

2 Worst: Transformers: Age Of Extinction

Before bouncing back with the delightful spin-off Bumblee, things had gotten pretty dire critically for the Transformers franchise. The last mainline installment, The Last Knight, saw some of the worst reviews for a major Hollywood release in the 2010s, and Age of Extinction was only deemed marginally better. Trying to deepen the oddly complex— though completely stupid— lore of the live-action Transformers film series isn't something anybody really asked for, but that's exactly what they got here. Robot dinosaurs that existed millions of years ago? Sure, why not.

1 Best: Toy Story 3

The third installment in a film series is often where it goes wrong, and everyone was terrified that the same fate would befall the Toy Story franchise when a part 3 was announced. Well, we should've known better than to doubt Pixar, as Toy Story 3 ended up being a nearly-perfect movie that might very well be the company's best to date. And that ending? If it didn't break your heart, you might want to check to see if you, in fact, actually have one.
