Office Space was a massive flop.

Idiocracy was also a mediocre/poor showing box office wise. They seemed to have a rough time marketing Mike Judge films back in the day.

IIRC Idiocracy's problem was the studio itself did not give it a wide release.

I like Office Space way more. Idiocracy is amusing, but the problem with a movie about annoying retards is you're surrounded by annoying retards for an hour and a half.

Borderline "flop" (I think it basically broke even), but I still firmly believe Zodiac is one of the top 10 films made so far in this century.

Other than it being not entirely accurate and painted Allen as the Zodiac when it seems he is not. It is a good movie though.

I wouldn't say this movie from 1987 exactly flopped, but I recall it had a short run. I enjoyed it.

That makes two of us.  The movie was as good as it could be, given that movies have to change so many things.  I guess it came out a bit late, most of the Burroughs fans having died off.  It is amusing to see a young person's reaction to reading Tarzan, after being indoctrinated for so many years by Hollywood.

I get the feeling that this movie killed Taylor Kitsch’s future lead roles which I think is a shame.  He’d be a great action movie star, much more believable than some actors that Hollywood forces us to believe.

I seem to recall there was  Jake Gyllenhall movie that came out about that same time where he played an Aladdin type character. Some kind of Persian thief. I always got those 2 movies kind of mixed up with one another. The 2 of them combined just seemed too much. I ended up seeing the Gyllenhall movie later. It wasn't bad. The lead actress was hot as balls.

This.  It's a good sci-fi action movie on it's own terms - AND Karl Urban really captured Judge Dredd.  It deserves a sequel.

Yep. Love it.

I think a big part of ot flopping though was.... the trailer didn't represent the final product.

Like that shit made it feel like it was going be 2 hours of Viking rape murder arson and rape.  

Then the movie comes out and its.... not.  



Also fun fact Alexander Skarsgard is fucking huge.

That dude he was playing against in the game was THE GOD DAMN MOUNTAIN from GOT and he just felt like a kind of big dude.
