50 Shades of Grey (February 13)

For this one, we only need to say that it is based on Twilight fan fiction – and not the better kind of fan fiction. 50 Shades of Grey is literally the rock-bottom for both literature and film. The plot revolves around a rather clumsy and inexperienced literature student, who has her life changed by a handsome and peculiar billionaire.

And while the names seem to be taken straight out of some porn production (Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey), the movie itself is far from bringing that kind of satisfaction. So why did people went to see it? We have no clue – we can certainly say that it wasn’t for the eroticism or for the kinky stuff. Even if it is R-rated, it is still very tame.

It made $570 million worldwide on a budget of just $40 million – and this is simply mindboggling. The critics didn’t find it as interesting as the book (which says a lot), there was no word of mouth, and the names aren’t the ones which usually attract audiences.

50 Shades of Grey is the kind of production which defies reason. And it is also the kind of movie which has sequels in place, even before it is released.
