The best blockbusters aren’t always the ones that make the most money, something we’ve been conditioned to learn by seeing just how many multi-billion dollar franchises have overcome terrible reviews to make big bank. Disney’s Maleficent wasn’t awful, but it wasn’t very good either, yet it still managed to bank $758 million globally.
It was also a hugely important film for the Mouse House, with Angelina Jolie’s star turn as the villain from Sleeping Beauty picking up from where Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland left off by busting blocks on all fronts, which in turn reinforced the notion that live-action remakes of animated classics were effectively a license to print money.
