18. Think Like a Man Too
The first film since Teen Wolf Too to go for the adverb option to denote its sequel status, Tim Story’s follow-up to his 2012 comedy opened at number 1 and brought in a healthy $65m. Despite Kevin Hart’s increasing popularity Stateside, his schtick has yet to make an impression with British audiences. As such, this is the American equivalent of Mrs Brown’s Boys: D’Movie (the 13th biggest film of the summer in the UK with an astonishing gross of $25m), which will probably never see the light of day in America.
17. Hercules
After the blink-and-you-missed-it non-event that was January’s The Legend of Hercules, few had high hopes for Dwayne Johnson’s take on the Greek superhero. Brett Ratner’s irreverent take on the legend made for a surprisingly fun night out. Still, with a $70m return on a $100m investment, there is little chance that we’ll see The Rock take on any more of Hercules’s labours.
