Though many people credit the third instalment of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man franchise to be the one that ended the series, mostly due to its choppy narrative, it actually performed better than any other Spider-Man movie ever released, including last year's Spider-Man: Homecoming.

The 1986 box office flop Howard the Duckhas gone on to become one of the most infamous Marvel movies ever made. Its puppets and costumes in the movie looked cheap and cringy, and the less we say about the movie's creepily themed plot, the better. Howard the Duck was given a budget of $37 million, which was actually a rather generous budget for the ...
