Not all movies are considered great classics coming right out of the gate! Let's check out 10 Great Films that FLOPPED at the Box Office! Pop that tape in, I got you, let's go do this!
I think I'm one of the 50 people who saw Lebowski in the theater. I was already really into the Coen brothers at the time. It was kind of shocking to see all these people "discover" the movie 10 years later.
Another great video AVA! Yes I'm binging on your videos again today as I should be out there mowing the grass but it's so hot and I'm procrastinating. Maybe one more and I'll get out there.
LOL thank you! I approve the binge! We were at my son's 8th grade football game yesterday and the field temps were over 120 degrees - multiple kids including my son went down and had to have IVs, so we are staying out of the heat today ourselves lol
I did not know The Thing was a flop. That does explain how I didn't see in the 80s and I hadn't even hearx of it. It wasn't until 1996 that I saw it on VHS for the first time. My cousin that was into movies had never seen it.
As a thirteen year old kid, I was fortunate to see The Thing in the movie theatre back in 1982. I loved it! Went back to see it again about three weeks later at the same theatre. I honestly was oblivious to any of the criticism at the time and had no idea it wasn’t performing well at the box office. Not until years later. I just loved it as a great scary creature movie. So glad it has the recognition today still.
I think one big thing is back then we were not inundated with instant news and opinions but a lot of parents or movie-goers read papers for reviews and decided not to go!
What spurred my curiosity on the topic was 20 yrs ago. I was listening to the dir commentary of the thing & Carpenter explained the the circumstances around why his film flopped. It was basically because when the thing was released theatrically, it went head to head with e.t. and got buried. Every one prefered the friendly alien to the evil one. Originally.
What an amazing list of movies! I love every single one of them. Time always makes a difference when it comes to art appreciation. We, as a society, don't let things set long enough in this digital age and it is kinda sad. That's why I only watch movies in the theater or on DVD and champion the great ones.
Yep, you’re exactly right. Just such bad timing for Carpenter. Such a shame but I’m so glad it is now considered one of the best horror films of all time.
I’m proud to say I saw Mulholland Drive at the theater back in ‘01. It’s Lynch’s best film imho. You have to check it out at some point. Can’t guarantee you’ll enjoy it because, as you most likely know, Lynch is a very particular taste.
@CAPTAINACTION7 thanks! me too lol - I stay there a lot when I cover Universal and Disney on my @AmericanVintageAdventures theme park channel...Love the vibes
I just watched Darko for the first time the other day and still don't quite understand all the hoopla! I only bought it because it was a super cheap Arrow 4K release from Best Buy last year when they were trying to get rid of all their physical media.
Saw the Grindhouse double feature in theaters when it came out. I'm a huge fan of Death Proof! I got both on blu-ray and hope they release them on 4k one day. I even got a 1/18 scale of his Nova! They also need to release Fight Club on 4k!
I was so surprised to see that Grindhouse was such a box office flop...same with Fight Club - 4ks are needed for both! I cant beleive that there are Tarantino movies that arent on 4k to start with lol
@AVAPopCulture same goes with Robert Rodriguez films! Super bummed when I preordered From Dusk til Dawn a few years back and The Faculty on 4k to end up being canceled or pushed back. Preordered Desperado 4k and hope nothing goes wrong with that release!
Love most of these movies on this list! Office Space is another one that became a classic after reaching home video. I saw the Big Lebowski & Fight Club in the theater and am pissed at myself for missing out on the Grindhouse double feature. I did see Machete and Machete Kills in the theater 😂. Actually just watched Mulholland Drive this year for the first time and it’s one of my favorites of all the movies I watched so far this year.
@@AVAPopCulture that’s cool, look forward to that one. His films don’t always land with me but Mulholland Drive did. I feel like I’ve got to been the right mood for David Lynch. I did like Blue Velvet, probably not quite to the level as everyone else, but I liked it
@AVAPopCulture the reason I ask is I accidentally preordered it twice off the B&N website. And it wasn’t a case of me selecting the quantity as 2, no I literally preordered it on two separate occasions and they were delivered about a week ago apart 😂 🤦♂️ Anyway I then forgot to return it and missed the window so I’ve got an extra unopened copy. Yours if you want it and if you already own it, happy donate it for a giveaway on one of your streams
Great topic, Chase👍 crazy how time changes options on films like these. Have you thought about doing a list opposite of this? Like movies that blew up the box office but aren’t really considered great
that is a great idea - and I may, "may" have been working on exactly that list to come out soon LOL!!! but you are right, time, experience, and word of mouth and so much more can change how films are looked at over time and sometimes, drastically so!
Okay this is a good video, but you keep getting it wrong about when movies hit home video and hit rental. A movie would come out and usually spend about 4 months in theaters, then it would go to video rental stores first, and then it would eventually make its way to home video sales Blockbuster in Hollywood Video always got first dibs
thanks man, if I said it that way, it was a slip while "riffing"- I dont script anything lol....that order isnt really the point, my point is more about the steps and release windows - the process as a whole and having more time for a movie at each step to build excitement or an audience!!!
yeah I mentioned I dont have all these pn physical media- I am trying to re-build my whole collection with what I feel like are teh "definitive, or best editions" of each movie - I had over 1k VHS films to go with my probably 1k DVD/BluRays and was talked to getting rid of all of my VHS collection several years ago...so now, I wait on the best versions - so I am waiting ona Fight Club 4k!
I am one of those few who do prefer Dr. Sleep to The Shining. Shining deserves all its praise. It's an unforgettable film. But, personally, I am a huge fan of director Mike Flanagan and Dr. Sleep is the project of his that hit me the deepest. Wasn't prepared for the story to go as hard into addiction as it did. Crazy coincidence that I happened to watch it in the theater on the anniversary of my own sobriety date. It was a beautiful reminder of how far I had come. I'll be 8 years sober in a couple months.
@@AVAPopCulture. I shot you an email regarding the giveaway. Hopefully it went thru. I had an issue with a new acct 🤦♂️. Also sent a message on instagram just in case.
Grindhouse-it was a fun idea but I believe the running time could be one factor why it flop. grindhouse was extremely created. I have planet terror on blu ray. don't have death proof yet but will get it sometime in the future. plus, I have the first Mechette movie. I believe one the reasons why Mulhollend Drive flop is that movie not only weird but I think lesbians scenes (spoiler) may have turn many people off despite they're pretty small scenes. Fight Club started strong, get crazy in the middle, and went straight to weird as heck in the third act. Shawshank is a good movie. I think this was one those Oscar contender movie that hardly people watch. hard to believe wonderful life was a flop in theaters and later ending up being shown on tv every Christmas time. unbelievable. it also been ripped off many times too The Things wasn't your typical Alien movie. it had a horror suspense vibe to it. I guess two thing that cause some people to hate it. the gore was over the top at the later half of the movie and slow pacing. I believe the first Austin Powers movie did poorly in theaters but home video saved it obscurity.
as someone who reads or listens to books constantly - and someone who writes, I feel like if you ever read a book first, the movie will never live up to expectations because you are going to form your own images of everything in the book based on the descriptions in the book and everyone's imagination is different -so if it doesn tmatch what we imagined, it will never "get there" in our opinions lol....it is also impossible to carry the details and every nook and cranny of the stories froma book, into a movie due to the nature of movies...I try to seperate them in my mind but it is hard!
@@AVAPopCulture it was basically the 3rd act. In the movie it was fan service. Which is fine. In the book, the Overlook is burnt down. Can’t show a creepy hotel if it’s down. But the ending of the book where he takes out the crew was awesome. If I switch off that part, yes the movie works. But I agree with you in that nothing beats the OG!
Shawshank Redemption was re-issued late 2023 on 4k steelbook by film vault, what does that tell you? Not too surprised about fight club, not my cup of tea.
at the end of the day its the critics own opinion films are subjective, for example two films i like will probably get me comments and those films are geostorm and the 2016 ghostbusters i personally think they are great films
critics (and everyone's opinions are always subjective) but they can certainly have an effect at the box office and sometimes good movies absolutely folp at the box office for no clear reason!
@@AVAPopCulture cinema prices don't help either, i live in the uk and to see a film cost around £5-6 then snacks are a rip off, £6 for a bag of sweet/candy and a drink stil you go for the expierencel
2007 was GFC hence why Grindhouse death proof failed. Tarantino besr imo.....Donnie Darko was a stinker and still stinka. It flawed and regret falling for it and purchasing it.
💧 Water World with Kevin Costner...😂 he was never goodfor that role....massive flop, biggest flop in history at the time. I saw it in Cinema, it was kind OK. Back then there was a lot of awsome films and all competing with one another.
I tried to like Doctor Sleep I found it boring and fell asleep the 2nd time I tried watching it. Dazed is classic. I still haven’t seen Grindhouse but I own Death Proof it enjoyable enough. Watched Mulholland Dr. 3 times when it came out and just like Donnie Darko I don’t get it and believe the hype is overrated. Fight Club is awesome watched it every day for weeks when it came out but not too often since I had kids. I have tried with the Big Lebowski and I don’t get it I love everyone in it but not for me. The Thing is so good just rewatched it again a few days ago. Still hate Rocky horror.
I am interested to finally watch the David Lynch movies but I have a feeling I may view them like Donnie Darko too...but I am trying not to corrupt myself before watching LOL
Hey i remember 1941 by Steven Spielberg,like who wrote this rubbish? On the flpside of this Hard Rain is great, omg filming inn that rain all the time , not surre if it bombed, but its a great movie
One of the main reasons films failed at the box office is because of film cretins. Sorry, I mean film critics. Blade Runner was not a sucess and Michael Cimino's career was ruined because of them
It's flabbergasting that a total garbage film like terrifier 1& 2. Can b so financially successful compared to these other much better films. It's crazy. Terrifier 1&2 are such garbage. 2 made huge profit. Yet event horizon & bone tomahawk & pandorum & the thing are so much better. It just goes to show that the general public is generally stupid. And the golden rule is c every thing 4 yourself 1st.
I have been saying this about Terry Gilliam's Adventures of Barron Munchausen. I think it's great, but it didn't do great financially.

the bad part is with the new model, it is harder to allow time or different released windows of "excitement" for a film to find it's audience and footing and become a cult classic
@@AVAPopCulture I like to see you doing a director spotlight, I have been wanting to see someone do that for a while now. I think it's interesting to see how some Directors have changed from one's who started on top, to the ones that took years or even decades to find their audience. I didn't really take note of who was directing what film until I started collecting films. I had that same thing happen where I realized that the ones I loved the most were certain directors. I have never cared about what critics or other people say when it comes to movies, a lot of my most coveted ones were not well received in the theatre's.

I think I'm one of the 50 people who saw Lebowski in the theater. I was already really into the Coen brothers at the time. It was kind of shocking to see all these people "discover" the movie 10 years later.
Example #1. Event Horizon. 60 million budget . 40 million bo.
I saw it in the theater and was working that night by myself at a open concept building that breathes and creeps, still a freaky movie.
One of my fave film topics to study of all. Fascinating.
I am glad you enjoy it! when I was doing the research I was surprised at a lot of what I found!
So many variables involved.
tons of variables!
Another great video AVA! Yes I'm binging on your videos again today as I should be out there mowing the grass but it's so hot and I'm procrastinating. Maybe one more and I'll get out there.

Example #2. Pandorum. 33 million budget. 20 million bo. Pandorum & event horizon are Paul w.s. Anderson projects.
don't be telling everyone all of my list for the 2nd video LOL

@@filmpositive6601 that is the way to do it and I completely agree with you
Planet terror is super underrated. Would love to get grindhouse arrow box set
that would be a great box set from Arrow!
I believe The Thing came out around the same time that ET came out and bad aliens were not that popular because of ET.
Yep, you’re exactly right. Just such bad timing for Carpenter. Such a shame but I’m so glad it is now considered one of the best horror films of all time.

@@intuitiveimprints I am going to deep dive into Lynch and then do a video lol I'm looking forward to it
I LOVE Cabana Bay! Great hoodie!
@CAPTAINACTION7 thanks! me too lol - I stay there a lot when I cover Universal and Disney on my @AmericanVintageAdventures theme park channel...Love the vibes
I just watched Darko for the first time the other day and still don't quite understand all the hoopla! I only bought it because it was a super cheap Arrow 4K release from Best Buy last year when they were trying to get rid of all their physical media.
yeah, I did a whole video talking about DD and how I think it is okay but dont understand why it is so overhyped lol
It was always cinema, then video rental, then available for retail.
That was always the cycle in the U.K.
Example #3 .bone tomahawk. 1.8 million budget. 476,000. Bo.
Great movie. Probably too weird and violent for normies.
Book of Clarence, Alita battle ángel come to mind, big George Foreman
Dazed and Confused it flopped so bad cos nobody went to see it, but later movies from the 90s become cult hits, but not all
