Famous Flops To Cult Hits "Big Lebowski", "Clue" And, Yes, "Citizen Kane"
It 'been a blood Monday Hollywood Today: Studies released four new high-profile films this weekend, and each of them flop. "Spy Kids: All the time in the world?" Disgusting! "Fright Night?" Without shedding of blood! "Conan the Barbarian?" Vivisected! "One day!" More than "One Dollar" We are right? A lot of carnage out there.
The studios and the filmmakers behind the film should take heart, however: The fact that a film has been shot does not mean that the film is going to heaven with a harp and wings and clouds. No, some of the most beloved cult films and durable of all time initially collapsed in the locker. So cheer up, Anne Hathaway: The fact that no one can read all the emphasis on "One Day" does not mean that the film does not live forever. (Although, seriously, do not live forever. This movie sucks.)
Here are some of the most famous cult films start out as box-office duds:
"The Big Lebowski." Finally - finally! - Blu-Ray this month, "The Big Lebowski" is one of those movies that go beyond the movie: Even if you've never seen, know almost everything about it. But of course you've seen! Jeff Bridges is one of the most respected and beloved actors of his generation, and again, the first line of his obituary included the word "Friend." Not that anyone noticed that the movie hit the theaters: the first weekend, finished sixth with just $ 5.53 million, after another movie called "Twilight," which probably did not even know existed until " at that time. But the Lebowski cult emerged soon after, and now the movie is not just a legend, even inspired his own religion.
"Clue." The wacky comedy game board has the advantage of being very popular because it was a failure. Just did it again when it launched its budget in 1985, but because it was reduced when sold for home video, one of the first films to be sold on VHS for less than the ridiculous price of $ 99.99 retail. (Remember that the used VHS movies for that price?) However, "Clue" was a flop in theaters has been updated to $ 19.99, so many parents across the country belonged to him. It was still early in the process of video, and "track" has become the "Hello, I have a VCR, I would have even a movie!" film. This, curiously, a kind of fact do for video what "The Matrix" DVD has: He became the film that helped to integrate new technologies. It is also fun.
"We had so much" Beavis and Butt-head "fans that we got to see Mike Judge comedy on the big screen, the opening day, it was pretty lonely at. The film finished behind Freddie Prinze Jr. vehicle "She's All That" and the film was for one month in advance. And even then, people came to see him because of Jennifer Aniston. Now, most people do not even remember that she is in it. dialogues of films is now canon, the "TPS reports" to "O-face" to "Yeahhh, I would go further and you come on Saturday." It is not surprising that Hollywood did not understand the judge brilliant satire work, we are working drones out there in the world box While we are only too well.
It seems strange to think of the movie where Brad Pitt spends most of his films may be in the fighting, drinking a lot and having lots of sex would be a success when it came out, but most people were just scared by the films of David Fincher . Inspired by the wide protests, some cuts to avoid the X rating, and also had a senator or two on the warpath. It has hurt the sale of tickets to be paid at Fox senior executive his job. Now, of course, every film seems to indicate exactly the young male audience that this film was made, and obsesses over it. It is not an IKEA store, but.
"Believe it or not, the film most consider the greatest American film ever first thought of a disaster: he went so poorly at the box office, many wondered if writer / director / star Orson Welles would never allowed to make a film again. Much of this was because William Randolph Hearst, whose life the film was based, had threatened that many journalists and studio execs that he would destroy them if they supported the film. At the Oscars, the film was booed every time his name was mentioned. It turns out that the film had a little endurance.
