Box office performance does not equal the general public views the film as \\\"good\\\". Spider-Man 3 would be a decent example, as both critical and audience reactions to the movie are too mixed to give a definite answer (unless you only count comic fans, then it\\\'s general dislike) despite the fact that Spider-Man 3 is one of the top grossing movie of all time.

Possibly the only *slightly* objective method of seeing if a work is an example of critical dissonance is to look at the general reaction from the critics (through Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes, and other sites) with the user scores. If there\\\'s a major diference between the critics\\\' scores and user scores, then it\\\'s very likely that the work is an example of this trope. Keep in mind that works with huge hatedoms may end up butchering some of the user scores >.>
