The Cabin In The Woods

Ah, so you are ignoring the films he just wrote and made no money, and going straight for the one he directed, which worldwide, didn't even make back the filming budget.

You have an interesting definition of doing okay.

He's written a lot of films, yes, but none of them were 'Joss Whedon films'.

Speed is not a Joss Whedon film. Neither is Alien: Ressurrection.

While Serenity didn't have a strong box office, it more than made it's money back on DVD sales (which is where most of the money is these days). Enough for them to warrent giving it a 2 disc special edition re-release.

And the "you're a dick"/"toad hit by lightning..." bits in X-Men!

And I just found out he did a rewrite on Captain America and that was good!

(Neither of those are Joss Whedon films though.)

Still not enough to make a sequal viable though.

Even the chronicals of Riddick has managed that.

Hollywood writing credits are a thorny thing. A bunch of people worked on the Toy Story story and script, sure, but it sucked. Joss was called in to essentially rewrite the movie. Hollywood rules require the original people to be credited anyway.
 
The thing to remember is that Joss Whedon is responsible for every single good thing his name is attached to, and Marti Noxon/studio interference/Donald Sutherland are responsible for everything that's bad but has Joss' name on it.
 
Great Idea!
I didn't think the movie was the scary, and I thought creature was just as good without the popular people in it. There was one cool scene when the two were in the boxes in the lab and all of the scary things were moving around them. That was kind of freaky. There were a couple scenes where I almost had my hands over my eyes-more for blood and guts really.
I thought it was cool and the concept was cool.
 
Well to be fair,
it's not really meant to be that scary. It's supposed to be more horror/comedy, with a big focus on the comedy. And of course it's also a critique on the state of modern horror.
