Best films that bombed or disappointed at the Box Office

[Punishment]

As a Civil War buff:

 

Glory

 

I'm not sure if it was expected to do much more than it did, but $27m is pretty low for how good a movie it is.  Guru shows the budget at 18M, so I don't think it made it's budget back during its theater run.

Agreed. Excellent film with disappointing run. Same as Shawshank redemption.

 

Also, as a teenager I really liked First Knight and was annoyed by its run.

12 Monkeys.

Any Edgar Wright film

12 Monkeys.

 

That actually made some money, and was at the top of the box office for two weekends.

Speed Racer is the first that comes to mind

Except it's not a bomb at all.

It did disappoint though.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Looney Tunes Back in Action.

[Beleg Strongbow]

Cloud Atlas, for me.

 

Not to say I'm disappointed by it's returns, but I would think WB would be. One of my favorite/top films of 2012. Still blows me away each viewing.

Treasure Planet, a great Disney film.

[Squaremaster316]

Wizard of Oz

Citizen Kane

Children of Men

Bambi

Blade Runner

Requiem for a Dream

American History X

Cabin in the Woods deserved more than a typical horror gross

[Webslinger]

I don't know that I would say Warner Bros was disappointed with the grosses for Cloud Atlas. Not a penny of the film's massive budget came from them, so if they lost any money on it, it was solely on prints and advertising.

 

I just watched Children of Men for the first time in nearly five years. I wish that one had done better at the box office, but it was an immensely difficult sell from the start given its grim setting. At least Cuaron got to make Gravity, and that one has been a big hit.

Said it before, but Last Action Hero. It was destroyed by Jurassic Park.
