6. Batman Returns

($286,114,907.47)

Number 45 without the benefit of inflation, Batman Returns was the movie that was too Tim Burton-ish before that became the norm.

After Batman ’89’s runaway gangbuster success, Warner Bros. basically let Burton do whatever he wanted with the sequel. Whatever he wanted turned out to be a movie about a German Expressionist Batman fighting off grotesque monstrosities and psycho-sexual overtones. It was pretty great, but it was also kind of a commercial disaster.

There’s a famous story about McDonalds yanking a Happy Meal tie-in because the resulting film was too adult for their liking. Um, yeah, kind of. It was a weird movie. Look, when Christopher Walken wasn’t the weirdest part of your film – but was, in fact, not even weird enough to be memorable – you, sir, made a very weird movie. For the standout, I’d point to Danny Devito’s Penguin, who was horrifically memorable and truly well-cast.

Also, he had rocket penguins.
