What’s a movie that flopped at the box office but you absolutely love?

They spent too much money on marketing, but the box office was pretty avg. I was just chatting about it with someone in the comments you might wanna take a look. Still, the movie was pure cinematic joy!

Uhh is that Fury Road? That flopped? Wow ...

Agreed. It just shows how greatness should not be measured by opening box office/or box office period. This movie is outstanding.

I read somewhere that Fury Road was considered a flop by some, with an estimated net loss of $40 million mostly due to high marketing costs and a financial dispute between George Miller and Warner Bros. But that could be misinformation.

I actually liked Furiosa, but I’d say the fx, music, and cinematography in Fury Road were stronger overall. Furiosa just didn’t have as many moments that hit as hard for me.

As for the Blade Runner films both are incomprehensible cinematic masterpieces. The box office really didn’t do justice to Denis Villeneuve, and I totally agree with you there.

Top of mind: Blade Runner & Blade Runner 2049

Fury Road didn’t flop per say. It still made its money back, but Furiosa did flop hard (a film I also really enjoyed and felt was done dirty at the box office)
