I immediately thought of "No Country for Old Men," but in that film even though the bad guy 'won' he was still the protagonist of the film.

Even with the Saw movies, the bad guy won, but in a sick way Jigsaw was the protagonist.

I don't know if I'd watch a movie where the bad guy won. I'd be kind of pissed or feel like the movie was incomplete. It's like if Lion King ended with Mustafa dead and Scar raping Simba's mom. It just wouldn't feel right unless I knew there was retribution coming in the sequel.
