Great observation, @donniecatalano! But let’s keep in mind that most of them became cult classics over time, earning a lot of money through DVD sales, VHS, streaming, etc. So they definitely didn’t remain flops 😉
Thank you, @somekindaguy100! Yours is the first comment actually addressing the intro of any video. I put great effort into them, especially this one, so it really made my day to finally get some feedback. The deeper voice was 'miscast'-I see that now too. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoy my content. Your support means everything!
Thank you for bringing this up, @godsmacked1000! It’s definitely an “All-Time Titan,” but I introduced that label only later on as part of improving my labeling strategy for the channel.
I like the videos but you forgot to add the stats card at the end with the break down if success in failures like u did in other videos Thats helpful too
Thank you for pointing this out, @Moist369! This is actually one of my earlier videos. The summary card at the end was an idea that came later, but I’m glad you like it. And don’t worry-it’ll be in every future video.
i took a girl on a first date to see raging bull at the cinema in 1980.......yeah not a film to take a first date to see about a guy who bashes his Mrs......it was a first and last date😂😂😂😂
I enjoy your videos. Truly Great work! But you missed nearly 20+ movies easily on this: About My Father, The War With Grandpa, The Comeback Trail, Wizards Of Lies, The Comedian, Hands Of Stone, Ezra, Heist, American Hustle, Being Flynn, What Just Happened, City By the Sea, Mad Dog & Glory, Guilty By Suspicion, Stanley & Iris, Jacknife, Falling In Love, The Last Tycoon, The Gang that couldn’t shoot straight & few more. 1.5 million minimum for The Untouchables. I know it’s tough lol, especially we don’t know the points they get on every movie. So love him or hate him he made a lot money more than that, gross.
Glad to hear you enjoy my work, @rustyffnj3151! Feedback like this keeps me going, thank you. And you're right. I left out quite a few of his movies. TV movies and direct-to-video releases are not in scope for this channel, but I missed some theatrical films as well in this case, although they are less famous. This was one of my earlier videos, and I've improved the recipe since then. I may redo this one sometime; De Niro deserves it...
DeNiro didn't do too badly in the late 60s-early 70s, adjusted for 2024 inflation, he made enough to afford a cheap apartment in, say...Tribeca. Ironically, today's Tribeca would price out pre-1974 DeNiro. In terms of salary, dollar for dollar he has always been the best bargain in town. BTW no salary for Heat? I'd be interested in knowing.
Great observation, @MrEab2010! De Niro is one of the greatest actors ever, but by no means the highest-paid. However, he's certainly not underpaid either. His legacy lies in being iconic and becoming a part of popular culture. As for Heat, his paycheck was $7M, but it’s also mentioned in the video-perhaps you missed it. It’s at 3:21. BTW, thank you for being such an active viewer! I’ve noticed your thoughtful comments on my other videos. Is there an actor whose paychecks you’d be particularly interested in? I might prioritize him/her as a favor to you. :)
You’re right, @davidwhiting5630, and I apologize for that. I used certain criteria to filter the movies, but it was a bad decision-I see that now. Check out some of my recent work; I’m much more thorough now.
You are right, @adamelam6385! I used very basic math for my labelling strategy to keep the video simple, but I realized, it's more important to stay true to reality. Box office earnings are split between the cinemas and the studio. Check some of my latest videos, I'm closer to the real world formula now, and guess what happens in the comments! They point out that I'm wrong calling a movie a Flop if it made more than it's budget. Its a catch-22, but if I have to choose, I choose truth and stick with it. Thank you for your input.
Sorry about that, @stevetrue4065! I used certain criteria to filter the movies, but I realize now that it was a mistake. Check out some of my recent work-I'm more thorough these days.
Christ, as one of the greatest actors ever im shocked to see apart from joker and meet the fockers trilogy theres not many hits on the list , my personal favourite was stardust, he was superb in that.
Great observation @oddsandwindsocks5905! The thing is, De Niro's legacy as one of the greatest actors is built on the depth, range, and quality of his performances, rather than the box office returns of the films he’s been in. He takes on challenging roles, and some of his best work is in films that didn’t crush it at the box office but still became classics. Stardust? Another great example of how versatile De Niro really is! Great family flick.
I see your point, @SushiTime1981! Goodfellas is definitely a great film, but just keep in mind that the labels in my video are based solely on box office performance-and in this case, that wasn’t very strong. It became a classic over time. Maybe the world just wasn’t ready for it back in 1990! 😆
That's true in terms of mathematics, @leostawicki7283! But imagine working for months, investing X amount, and in the end, just getting that X amount back. Wouldn't you be disappointed? Also, box office earnings are shared between the studio and the cinemas, so the investor doesn’t get 100% back even if the movie breaks even. Of course, Angel Heart should have deserved a better fate, but that’s another topic. By the way, my label are oversimplified, and I'm working on improving them. Thank you for the feedback.
Good question @aijokker! Most of that difference goes to the studio, but they also split it with theaters, distributors, and anyone with a cut of the backend profits (actors, directors, etc.) -so it gets spread around quite a bit!
You forgot a movie he did called Stanley and Iris with Jane Fonda in 1990 for which they were each were paid 3.5 million dollars. I know because I was an extra in the movie and I just looked up what he got paid for it.
Sorry about that, @SDLBrightLiGhT! I have certain criteria for including movies, but it didn’t work well in this case. I might scrap it and include absolutely everything moving forward.
That's a strong feedback, @slymebuoy! Thank you! I got some similar ones for this music style so I abandoned it in my recent works. Listen to some of them and let me know if they are worthy. Thanks.
Some of those flops are amazing films though. Including Killers of The Flower Moon which reached second in the box office so you can't call that a flop.
I used to like DeNiro until he decided, like Clooney, to start giving unwanted political advice. These actors have got to know, whether it is political or whatever, their advice is not respected by most thinking folks. Most of these actors barely graduated high school and their ability to draw big paychecks and act makes them experts on most everything? Give me a break. The low-lifes and most disrespected people in ancient Greece were actors. How they ever became pillars of society is beyond me.
It's just one person's opinion. You can't control what an individual says only how you react. Taylor Swift on the other hand made herself look foolish. She made an official release on A social media platform. She was counting on fans to rally all around her like a little Army of Trump haters
You liked him as an actor and not because he has political opinions other than yours. I see allot of people using Actors and athletes as their moral compose. who are we to be critical of him off screen
@timelliott4117 Compass. Compass. And no, I dislike him because he thinks he is morally superior to those that disagree with his leftist ideals. Thanks fir trying to figure out my motives for disliking him, but you missed the mark.

Once Upon Time in America was a flop!? Jeez. Absolutely mental. Thats a great film. Solid 9/10
I was surprised too!!!
I got to strongly agree with this comment! Absolutely banger! Not exactly a short film but nevertheless incredible ❤️👊🏼
I can't believe now many iconic, great movies were actually flops!

@@BoxOfficeJoe indeed. I'm just surprised about this data I never saw before. Thanks for this!
I can't believe I haven't heard half of these movies😮

Very cool beginning and thos voiceover is way better then the deeper one in my opinion.Tjsnks for you effort.Liked and subscribed

I can't believe Goodfellas was just a semi hit. In my top 3 for sure.
How is joker only a blockbuster and not a titan with a billion in box office sales?!
Thank you for bringing this up, @godsmacked1000! It’s definitely an “All-Time Titan,” but I introduced that label only later on as part of improving my labeling strategy for the channel.
Goodfellas is the greatest movie of all time
It really isn’t.
Wow.. someone in the production board room must have really wanted him in Ronin.
Ronin's a great film. One of his many underrated films and performances.

Oops, @billmago7991! Try Blue Valentine next time! It’s guaranteed to steer your mood and conversation in an awkward, date-crushing direction. 😉
You did better than Travis Bickle, though, he took Betsy to a dirty movie in their first and last date.
What about Wesley Snipes!🤔

In my opinion, Robert De Niro just plays himself. He got good money for a lot of flops
Fools like you should just shut up. Because you know nothing about great acting.
Plays himself, like in GF2? I’m guessing you believe he speaks in prefect Sicilian dialect at home.
Yeah has to be said his character in Awakenings is almost identical to Max Cady in Cape Fear
He doesn’t play himself, he just plays the same character and after all these years he’s somehow convinced himself he is that guy.
@@1225328 He's the greatest actor of all time.

WOW there's a lot of flops in there and here I was thinking that he was getting paid huge amounts to star in films but that wasn't the case.
Denzel made nearly double his earnings

If the budget is 55M and box office is 1.1B in whose pocket the difference goes?
The investors who took a chance on the movie
