Movies that flopped, but should have been a hit

[The axe murderer]

They fukked up by casting Johnny Depp as Tonto.

Should've just had him be The Lone Ranger and cast a Native actor as Tonto to avoid all the bad press.

They should have cast guy who played ohanzee dent in fargo but they banked on Johnny depp being a big name

"Fight Club" was considered a flop at the time.

You know what a box office flop is right

evolution. it was literally the 2000s ghostbusters. all the characters had god chemistry too. but what i think sunk it was that there was nothing toyetic in it. not a crazy car, no special weapons, nothing

No it financially flopped at the box office
It did so bad at the box office after it came out on DVD/Blu Ray they low key changed the title of the movie
3 Reasons Edge Of Tomorrow Fumbled At The Box Office

No.

The movie dropped May 28th.

That article dropped June 10th.

It made $370 million in its box office run.

There is also a sequel in development.

I watched the movie shortly after the release, and I was surprised about all the negative press.
It wasn’t by any means a great movie, but it wasn’t as bad as the critics made it out to be

shyt I look at that budget...250 million. Avatar in comparison was 237 mill. They put a ton on this

It seems like this thread is listing movies they think should have been huge but flopped and not saying the movie was actually good to begin with.

John Carter for example is not a good movie. Terrible lead character. It flopped because it wasn't good to begin with.

It made its money back barely, but it wasn’t a hit

To be a fair there are tons of mediocre movies that are box office hits

Came to say this. This was a great film that got nowhere near the props it should have gotten.

Another one is Faster. Arguably The Rock's best movie.

The first Chronicles of Riddikk, I know there's a sequel but that ones trash and it took them too long to make it

 

[OmegaK2099]

The Last Witchhunter

Probably the greatest Sci Fi comedy of all time...Galaxy Quest
