From Turning Red to The Nice Guys, these 21st Century box office bombs prove that a great movie is more than its box office performance.
From Turning Red to Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, some of the greatest movies of the 21st century bombed at the box office. Whether poor box office results are due to unclear marketing, a bad release date, or a global pandemic, some cult classics and widely celebrated films fail to find an audience in theaters. These 30 films are prime examples that the box office isn’t the final judge of what makes a great film, and sometimes a good movie takes decades to discover.
28 Mulholland Drive David Lynch is considered one of the most revered and essential artists today, yet 20 years ago, his surrealist mystery Mulholland Drive had difficulty finding an audience. Originally produced as a television pilot in 1999, the movie begins with an aspiring actress meeting a woman with amnesia. In true Lynch fashion, the film morphs from neo-noir mystery into a surrealist nightmare, from Hollywood satire to beautiful tragedy.
24 Blade Runner 2049 Blade Runner 2049 is considered a gorgeous, bleak, epic sci-fi film whose runtime ultimately hindered its box office performance. The film serves as the sequel to Blade Runner, a sci-fi classic that was also a box office failure at its time. Director Denis Villeneuve takes time with the camera, lingering on wide shots of this beautiful dystopian world as Ryan Gosling’s K hunts down bioengineered humans.
20 The Nice Guys The Nice Guys stars Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe in a retro buddy-action comedy that takes place in 1970s Los Angeles. Shane Black’s neo-noir film features his familiar dark comedy as a private detective and bodyguard join forces to investigate the disappearance of a porn star. The Nice Guys was nicely praised by critics, yet the film earned $62 million against a $50 million budget and opened alongside more popular movies like Neighbors 2 and The Angry Birds Movie.
