IIRC, the original plan was a series of movies, that take place in different cities around the world.
The shit box office killed that. |

13th Warrior is one of my favorite movies
Dredd and Battle Los Angeles need sequels |

Gods and Generals View Quote I think it would have done better if it was just released as a miniseries. Have you seen the extended cut with Antietam and the John Wilkes Booth subplot? What I really hate about it is that with it bombing, The Last Full Measure will never get made. |

Backdoor Sluts 10
I know, 9 is the fan favorite, but 10 has a certain...artistry. |

Cutthroat Island
Titan AE Soldier I like a lot of movies already mentioned. |

For recent movies both Blade Runners and Ghost in the Shell.
For past movies I've always been partial to Hudson Hawk and Krull. |

Sure do. Lots of them, including:
The Wild Geese The Final Option aka Who Dares Wins The Final Count Down The Philadelphia Experiment The Keep (Scott Glenn/Gabriel Byrne) The Challenge (Scott Glenn/Toshiro Mifune) Soldier (Ken Wahl movie not the Kurt Russell movie which I also liked, but, did better at the box office). The Visitor (John Huston/Glenn Ford/Lance Henriksen/Franco Nero/Mel Ferer) Dawn of the Dead (the best one, the original George Romero movie) Event Horizon Rawhead Rex |

Another vote for Joe vs. the Volcano.
A great spiritual film...buried underneath some silliness |
|
The Golden Compass, 2007. I'm still waiting for the sequel.

I saw it in the theater and it was pretty packed, 13th Warrior. I enjoy that film and seen it many times.
I am sure there are a bunch that I like that did not do well. only other one comes to mind is Serenity. Which is a great film but only geeks seemed to have went to see it. |

I don’t know enough about box office success on many of my favorites, so nothing really to add, but many mentioned here are among my favorites - especially The Thirteenth Warrior. I saw that one for the first time at Camp Doha, Kuwait. Never realized it was considered a bomb.
Interesting to see the the divided reaction to a movie like The Postman, but I guess I can see where the central theme is offensive to the “burn it all down” types. |

Came here to say these. BR and its sequel are pretty mind blowing

The A-Team (2010)
Perfect casting. Bradley Cooper IS Face Man and Copley as Murdoch was outstanding. Even Rampage nailed it as B. A. It didn't take itself too seriously but had great action and only a slightly convoluted story. It also made $70 million dollars worldwide in profit but that wasn't enough for a sequel. But, we got multiple Taken movies. I think maybe the A-Team was just too macho and didn't have enough SJW bullshit to please Hollywood. |

I watch a lot of movies, but I dont know if could answer OPs question- I dont pay attention to what movies do at the box office. I wait until they come out OnDemand, or for a few special movies on my radar, I buy them on 4K blu-ray and watch them at home.
