This Movie Franchise Made Over $1 Billion In 5 Years, So Why Is It Dead
Summary The Lego Movie franchise is a billion-dollar property with more than a few blockbuster movies under its belt, so why is it not a thriving cinematic universe? When a film adaptation of the Lego construction toys was first announced, it seemed to be a Hollywood cash grab like The Angry Birds Movie, using the power of cinema to advertise a product and generate some corporate synergy. But Phil Lord and Christopher Miller ended up delivering a surprisingly great movie.
Man of Steel didn’t have that kind of multiplier and Warner Bros. followed it up with the doomed DC Extended Universe. Naturally, The Lego Movie’s success launched a franchise. It was followed by a direct sequel, The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, as well as two spinoff films, The Lego Batman Movie and The Lego Ninjago Movie. All four of these Lego movies did well at the box office , but the franchise hasn’t released a new film in five years.
The Lego Ninjago Movie Was A Strange Move For The Series After Batman The Lego Movie franchise's winning streak ended fast with The Lego Ninjago Movie After the back-to-back success of The Lego Movie and The Lego Batman Movie, the franchise suffered its first box office bomb with The Lego Ninjago Movie, later in 2017. The Lego Ninjago Movie grossed just $122,737,201 on its $70 million budget .
