[Why did these movies flop?]

None of those movies mentioned above are ones that I'm particularly fond of, or haven't seen. So, I can't say why they flopped.

 

A similar movie that flopped was The Island by Bay (a movie of his that was good) that opened in 2005. It's a really great movie for those that are into sci-fi. Yet, it flopped at the box office (not to the point of losing money, but it barely made anything) despite it being a good movie. With that movie in particular, looking back at the trailers, they weren't good at all in telling people what the movie was about. They unrememorable trailers.

 

Perhaps the same problem happened with some of these movies, the trailers/marketing was poor.

 

 

Agreed on The Island.  Pretty good, IMHO.

OMG

 

Hahahhahaah!

[13 facts about Jason Voorhees and F13...]

Jason was my favorite slasher whilst I was growing up.  I found the movies both scary and awesome.

 

I had my mom drop a few friends and I off at the theater to see... I want to say it was Part VI.  We walked back to my house past a graveyard, scaring the shiznit out of each other as we went.  It was great!

[13 facts about Jason Voorhees and F13...]

Oh. But there is a Crystal Lake near Lake Michigan as well.

 

 

Yep, been there.

 

Disappointingly lacking in the mass-murderer department.

[Star Trek 13, nuTrek 3...however you count it...what's next??]

I like that they didn't kill off Khan.

 

He could be in the background for the next two films or so... maybe just a mention of his escape in film 3... and then we find out in movie 5 that he was behind bad things that seemed unconnected in movies 3 and 4.

[Ooga Booga - Worst movie ever?]

I would think that, if we were trying to find horrid movies that aren't bad on purpose, or so-bad-they-are-good, we'd be smart to head for Uwe Boll (I see at least one of his masterpieces listed here already).

[Ooga Booga - Worst movie ever?]

It's a Full Moon movie!  It's supposed to be bad!
