    Theory nothing, it's exactly why they made it.
    In the 90s Roger Corman made a fantastic four movie without being told it was never meant for release, it was made simply to keep the rights. It wasn't especially good but it was way more faithful to the source material than anything that followed.

    In 2005 they made that Fantastic Four two-movie set. First one did okay so they made the sequel...which did not do okay. Again, they made the first one simply to hold onto the rights.

    And now in 2015 they do it again to hold onto the movie rights. So on the plus side this movie did SO badly we won't have to suffer another one until 2025!

    Amazing Spider Man was also a cheaply made movie simply to keep the Spider Man rights. So was X-men First Class.
    eh....

    Regardless of what one's opinions are of the quality of X-men and Amazing Spider-Man movies, I don't think they can be regarded as "cheaply made" movies, unless your definition of cheap is vastly different to the rest of the world's.

    I don't mean cheap as in they looked cheap. I mean they were not expensive to make. Compariatively speaking.
    A lot of shots in very safe sets and studios, not a lot of scenery change that couldn't be done with simple CG and such.

    I mean, I'm not talking X-men Origins level cheapness here. Just saying they weren't breaking the bank on them. Fox was lucky First Class turned out to be really good, that movie basically revitalised the whole franchise.

    Yeah, that's what I meant too. X-Men: First Class with a budget of $160 million was more expensive than the original Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and both the Hulk movies. The Amazing Spider-Man had a budget of $230 million, which was more expensive to make than any of the individual Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and Hulk movies, the Avengers, and the Guardians of the Galaxy, to name a few. They are definitely not cheap movies in any sense of the word and Sony and Fox banked a lot of money on them.

    Interrweb fantasy run amok. Corman aside, Fox made 3 movies just for fun in the hopes of some time in the distant future they can make one for real?

    Single bullet JFK has better explanation.

    Well sure, I'll bet they hoped the movies would be amazing and earn lotsa monies. But they weren't made with the idea of telling a compelling story or entertaining people. They were made with the sole purpose of making money and retaining the movie license. That was it. The newest one is so creatively bankrupt even compared to the 2005 movie.
