Remember when it was released in the UK they only screened it in 3d. I like 3d films but tickets were expensive enough without the added 3d cost at the time.
Karl Urbans Dredd was amazing, and still is. I just watched it my daughter this week. She loved it just as much as me. Anybody stupid enough to skip Dredd doesn't deserve the thrill of the movie. Their loss, no one else.
Karl Urban kept his helmet on cause the last time he took off his helmet in a movie was in the chronicles of riddick and he had that weird helmet hair mullet 😂
This is correct. The Matrix was really over after the third movie. Nobody wanted another movie from people that were so stupid they didn't even know what sex they were.
I can not describe to you the profound sadness I feel every time I'm reminded that Dredd did so poorly. It was a perfect Dredd film and it remains a great crime that we will likely never get more Karl Urban Dredd.
Or a blessing. The majority of films that transcend their own content would be terribly abused by the movie machine churning out branded shit. Having 1 Dredd Film is all we ever needed. No need to reply, I AM THE LAW!!.
It’s one of my favorite fun ride movies, there’s no need for depth, no need for undertones or over arching story. Just a badass Dredd enforcing the LAW😂 Rico: LAAAAAAAW
Serenity - I also blame marketing. I was not hard core fan of the tv series firefly, but I was a fan. I never made the connection between the movie and TV Series, until the Serenity was out on DVD. Sometimes what you name a movie does matter.
As a non Firefly fan, who watched the show and the movie because of friends: It’s mediocre concept. There is nothing exceptional or a hook to catch the viewer. A group of space truckers fly around the western motif galaxy isn’t exciting as A Captain, his alien pal and a grumpy Doctor explore the galaxy to find new worlds and fight threats.
I'd never seen the series as by the time it aired in UK we already knew it was cancelled, so didn't want to get invested and then be let down, accidentally stumbled across Serenity and watched it and was blown away. I ran straight out to HMV to buy the firefly box set then
Even if it was a clearer distinction, I don't think it'd made that much a difference at the box office, maybe a few hundred k more? A glorified series finale isn't going to appeal to a wide audience.
Studios keep shooting themselves in the foot by throwing $150 million at every movie, with a further $100 million in marketing. It's unsustainable. How do they spend so much on movies anyways?
What about Independence Day: Resurgence? People were interested in a sequel for years. But when we finally got one 20 years later, no one really cared.
I feel like the demand for an Independence Day sequel just fizzled out long before one was released. It wasn’t like Blade Runner, where it gained a following as it aged. It was just a mediocre action movie that didn’t have anything deeper to get asses back in the seats when it was time for the second one.
wow. really? all i've ever heard is how despised the first one was, by even usa audiences long jaded by decades of jingoism. i never heard of anyone who wanted to see anything of those movies again.
I wanted Sin City 2 _sooo_ bad, unfortunately what we got was more like a successor to The Spirit. Some times you make Desperado, some times you make Spy Kids 3D.
@@FecalMattur Yeah I could see why you would make that assumption but I disagree, I think Avatar 2 is going to flop hard. Which will kill off James Cameron's planned Avatar 3 and probably Avatar 4.
Serenity was amazing. I barely knew the TV series existed and I never watched it. Serenity made me go back and do so while turning me into a bona-fide Nathan Fillion fan. Thats how good Serenity was. The entire cast, especially the antagonist, was worth the watch. SO good. Scott Pilgrim is a great film as well. Plain and simple.
I had the same experience. I'd seen 4 min of Firefly while flipping channels and thought it looked cheesy. But the Serenity trailer hooked me and it's one of my favorite movies.
I had avoided 2049 for so long because of all the bad press but was blown away when I finally saw it. Highlander suffered a similar panning, but the fan base was just strong enough to give it its due. My fav sleeper is, oddly enough, Sleeper by Woody Allen, one of the funniest spoofs ever made, but poor marketing killed it in the box office.
@@gobot4455 It was up against E.T., I think that's the only significant reason for it's poor box office results. It's also one of the first movies that was revived and thrived in VHS and DVD. Before Blade Runner, movies that failed died totally, were forgotten. There wasn't even much from international sales. Nowadays, there's at least a chance for a film to have a second life.
Let's remember that's the original blade runner tanked too . Anyone who loves blade runner truly understands 2049 and its deep beauty about not using technology to replace the beauty of reality
I remember coming out of the cinema after watching BR2049 to be faced with an orange sky very reminiscent of the Las Vegas scenes due to dust being swept up from the Sahara over to the UK - well it was either that or the UK advertising budget was much higher than elsewhere!
I am a fan of the original and I read the book. In the book he isn't. The second was a good movie, but the sequel waited too long after the first movie and everything that made the first one iconic wasn't in the second one.
@@AndreiDinTheHouse Original made in LA , budget $20 mil , opening weekend $6 mil , 2049 in Hungary . budget $150 mil , opening weekend $30 mil By my math Blade Runner made 1/3 of its budget back on opening week end 2049 only made 1/5 , with 100 times more theaters . In 1980 , it took few years to get that movie to smallest theaters , today it's in every theater at same time . We cant really compare , 100 physical reel copies to 10 000 digital copies today ... consider that and 2049 is a massive loser .
Matrix was not wanted, nor needed. On the other hand Dredd is spectacular, it’s a must watch for sure. I think Watchmen was great, too and doesn’t deserve hate from the fans of the comics.
I saw Gremlins 2 as a kid and loved it...I thought it was hilarious and i don't think I would've believed it was a failure at the the box office. I still love it today but I'm old enough to get the inside jokes and I think its the superior film.
@@erakfishfishfish - I wasn't up for such a drastic change in tone (nothing against people who did enjoy it, though). I do recall that scene of Christopher Lee promising someone "I can get you diseases!". That one moment made it worth watching the movie, even though I have forgotten everything else about it.
I absolutely loved this movie growing up. Its one of the few movies that I can watch over and over. So many great moments. You can’t beat the burping gremlin, secretary, brain and, rambo gizmo. Where else could you have a typing gremlin secretary "saying coffee" and not laugh? Ah, so many great moments. My favorite scene is when Hulk Hogan tells the gremlins to put the movie back on. Also, John Glover was great as Mr. Clamp. I was watching Fear the Walking Dead and saw him playing “Teddy Maddox. I said to myself Mr. Clamp is back.
A sequel should always be made because the creator(s) want to make it. Their passion is what drives the story and it works best when they explore the world they have created. Sequels made mostly because the box office was good will often rely on either doing the same thing like the first one did or do the opposite, like The Hangover franchise did.
Some movies, by their very nature, require there to be no sequels. I would put Highlander in that category. It's not just that all the sequels were awful, it was also the way they had to torture the story just to make them in the first place.
Dredd remake was AWESOME! I didn’t see it in theaters because the 1st Dredd was ok-so I didn’t help the box office. BUT! When I watched it on physical media, I was blown away! A missed opportunity seeing it in 3D. Most of these films on the list is right on-great films but missed in theaters.
You couldn't tell the remake of Dredd was being taken seriously by the trailers and was closer to the original comic book? Ya know admittedly I saw the movie at a special screening for a film club. But after seeing it again I realized it's a new classic and defenitely deserved a sequel.
LIke you said, excepting Resurrections and Scott Pilgrim, and I them in theaters, and most of them twice or more...so, I can't be blamed either. I just think they should have included TRON: Legacy though, on the list.
Serenity was a terrific film and a decent ending to a tv series that was never given a decent chance to thrive....and trust me...it def would have thrived very very well...
I think the common problem here is the "everyone". Though a large demanding noise is often made on the internet, the "real world" majority of a potential audience needed to get those BIG BUCKS, neither know nor care about a movie, and don't go unless either their favourite star is in it, or they're literally told to go by constant traditional media marketing.
Same. That the series gets better critical reviews is stunning to me. I had to force myself to finish it and have no idea if there’s a second season coming. Nor do I care.
I love how the video kept using the word "everyone" when most of these IP had cult audiences at best. LEGO movie 2 is the only one that truly matches the topic. No one asked for the Matrix nor Snakes on a Plane and the rest were always destined to have niche audiences.
2049 I still can't believe opening night I was the only one in my Arizona theater loved the movie so sad modern audience can't sit and watch 3 hour slow burn
I found a DVD of Serenity at some store, bought it, watched and LOVED it. I dad no idea it was a series before that. Only months latter I was told that.
@@erakfishfishfish your wife did you a great service. Firefly is an incredible series. I watched the first episode when the series came out and did not continue watching I always regretted it. I’ve seen the series numerous times.
I only discovered it was 3D reading this comment (just before she mentioned it in the video). I was deployed when it was released, so I didn't get the chance to watch it in theaters at all but it's one of my favorite films, particularly on this list.
@@monteestowes1245 I've also seen it on a 3D TV, thats also cool, the slomo scenes lend so well to it, so that's another way you could try and see it in 3D, I highly recommend it mate. Also, thank you for you're service 🙏
I always liked the Sin City sequel, never understood why it had such a poor critical reception compared to the first one. Though I definitely preferred Clive Owen's portrayal of Dwight over Josh Brolin's (nothing against Brolin, he's an amazing actor who absolutely killed it in movies like No Country for Old Men and Sicario, I just enjoyed Owen's portrayal in Sin City more)
Sin City A Dame to Kill For was indeed a good movie, but was lacking in the marketing department. Many people didn't even know the movie came out, and others didn't even know the movie existed until years later. And it didn't help that at the time Sin City 2 came out in the same month as Guardians of the Galaxy, Expendables 3, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Tom's Cruise's Edge Of Tomorrow. Not saying that these movies were better than Sin City 2, but their marketing was definitely better.
It was a good movie, but did not live up to the first one, I felt. Also, they promoted it when it was first announced, but basically stopped when it fell into production purgatory. I didn't even know they'd ever finished it until I stumbled across it on a streaming service a couple of years ago.
To me the sequel was forgettable IMO, which is unfortunate since I loved the 1st Sin City. I saw it in the theater and only remembered some parts. I agree I wish Clive Owens was in the sequel though I like Josh Brolin
@@dcvideos4721 Yeah it is a pretty good movie. The marketing killed it, though some reviewers feeling it was derivative of other Sci-Fi franchises didn't help. The original novels were the partial inspiration for later sci-fi films, so the film probably came out a decade or two too late.
John Carter really surprised me! I thought it was a great movie. The John Carter novels used concepts that audiences saw later in Superman and Star Wars, so critics thought they were seeing a repeat, but Carter was the source material, and conceptually better than what succeeded it. Good cast, too! I was very disappointing it did so poorly.
10:31 - Don Stanton (Right), portrayed ‘Security Guard Lewis’ in T2: Judgment Day, along with his twin brother Dan Lewis (as the T-1000). This time, the brothers played characters named Martin & Lewis for G2: The New Batch.
Sometimes why a movie doesn't do well is because there's too much competition out there even with a huge franchise, people only have limited time or funds to watch them, and a movies Box Office failure doesn't mean it's a bad movie, that's a matter of opinion.
Firefly was AWESOME and I wanted to see more. Serenety just wasn't furefly. Firefly worked by carefully balancing the sci fi and western imagery. It was truly a space western. Serenety was just another sci fi flick. Aside from the bank robbery at the beginning there was no true western imagery in the movie.
“Blade Runner 2049” was a worthy sequel to its predecessor. I had a great job watching it & spotting all the homages to the original in certain shots and the themes
It's always new and amazing feeling to have Such a great fan like you that recognize my work and have so many fan pages in such a short period of time. As actors and performers, this adulation is what motivates us…… Keep watching, and I promise to bring more Entertainment to your way
I didn't even realise they made a sequel to Sin City. I loved the first one and kept an eye out for the next one....and then just assumed it wasn't gonna happen and stopped thinking about it.
Dredd was a fantastic movie one of my all-time favorites. I didn't even really like the comic book but I'd love that movie. Sylvester Stallone turned it into a cheese ball and if Hollywood takes too long to turn something around into something good people lose interest no matter how much they like the concept.
Honestly, I loved the Lego movie 2 XD The sibling vs sibling message and themes of changing your self image to be respected by those around you hit incredibly hard for me personally.
Dredd is a fantastic film. And the Watchmen series can't really be compared to the film. It's in the same universe but deals with different subjects. It's like comparing an Avengers film to a Marvel Netflix series. (I loved the Watchmen series; the film not so much.)
I'm confused by the title. No one asked the Matrix Ressurections. I remember a lot of people being confused af when it was announced even going as far to say it would just be a cash grab. The trilogy was finished with the 3rd movie and they couldn't have expected it to catch on with audiences after 20 years. It's a whole new crowd and with advances in technology, they didn't really do much to revolutionize things like they did back then. It was just a generic action movie.
I've seen all of these. Some of them were really good, others tanked. The reason why no one saw those is because just by the trailers or premise, they could tell it would suck and didn't want to ruin the good memory.
I've seen most of these movies but you're right, not in theatres. It would be good to see the demographics for this time period. Some movies came before boomers, like me, had kids. So we saw the movie in the theatres. Then when kids came along, we sent to less theatres and starting renting/buying movies much more. So instead of 4 movie tickets, you had one rental and 4 people watching, often with other people visiting and watching too. When the kids were pre-teens and early teens we tended to go back to the theatres for the speciality movies (like LOTR trilogy) but then streaming came along and it was easier to stay at home. (And of the course the large number of illegal downloads.) I wasn't going to movies due to covid and had planned to return to the theatres when the virus lessened (slightly) and when the new Matrix movie came out. The virus didn't let up so like many movies of the previous two years, I didn't go. I decided to wait and watch it at home. If it weren't for the pandemic, I would have seen that in the theatres regardless of the reviews. As it is, the movie is not as bad as reviews portray it to be and certainly no worse than the third movie in the trilogy. So examining demographics and viewing trends more closely might be a better way of looking at numbers then simplistically saying "nobody watched". Last note and it doesn't help budgets or getting movies made but buying movies does result in many more people ultimately seeing a movie than any official figures allow for. For example I really enjoy THE BIG YEAR which didn't do well at the box office. And I understand why. But I know I've shown the movie to maybe 20 people over the years who had never seen it. I know I'm not alone. It would be nice to have a true sense of how many people actually saw a film.
I think generally if people are gauging a film's quality by how much money it makes that's a pretty hollow view point. I mean the Transformers movies make bank and they're dumpster fires.
@@daffyduck3536 Well, in this video they're not using it to gauge quality. They're using the box office money to gauge amount of viewership/popularity in theaters against expectations/popularity prior to release.
@@___Nightbreeze yes I realise that. My response is related to the above comment. I agree with OP in that Blade Runner 2049 is a great film, and tried to make the point that more generally box office earnings and artistic merit aren't one in the same.
Also, it's probably worth mentioning the sheer number of Lego themed video games, straight to DVD movies, etc. I'd say by the time the Lego sequel came out, there was already a lot of franchise fatigue.
I've seen all of these & Serenity would be in my top ten films of all times. I also love Sin City 2 although I agree it's not a patch on the first one.
I used to love going to the theater to see a movie, I even bought over priced snacks (because I knew that was how the theater made money...not from the films). I basically quit going to the theater because people not knowing how to behave in public. Side bar: only in Hollywood would a project that makes double it's cost be considered a flop.

For as MUCH and I LOVE "Fire Fly" I have the box set and watched it many times over the years. I don't know way I just never loved "Serenity". I bought the DVD used, watched it once years ago, and haven't opened up the case since then.
I dont know anyone personally that thought we needed another Matrix sequel. The original one is genuinely one of my favorite movies ever, the second one was watchable and the third one had about 10 minutes of watchable footage. I have yet to see the 4th obvious cash grab....and I likely wont. If I have an itch for matrix content Ill just go watch the original.
@@erakfishfishfish I havent seen it, from a couple reviews I have seen it seemed to be more poking fun at the studio then anything else. Something along the lines of "were gonna make it with or without you"....so they helped them make it but just made a joke of the whole thing. Like I said I loved the original but after that they have seemed more or less creatively bankrupt. Not all movies need an endless stream of sequels.....especially with characters that by all rights have no business being on the screen anymore. If anything I could see a tv series working if it had the right people behind it. But as far as im concerned this is one dead horse that doesnt need any further abuse.
Yeah I saw all 3 films in the theater and love them, though 1st will be the best and 2nd was amazing to see with the highway scene in Theaters. I didn't have high hopes for the 4th ans happy I watched it at home which was a task lol. 4th was never needed. We should of got John Wick 4 instead lol.
Sometimes a blockbuster is a magnificent one-night stand, it's a glorious unforgettable night of passion which stands alone in time and should never be revisited. I think this extends from Jaws to Gremlins to Blade Runner and may prove true of Avatar.
I hate Avatar..I was dragged to see that movie TWICE in theater..first time Christmas with my mom and sister and then with my bf(now hubby) as a comprise for something I wanted lol. I fell asleep and refuse to watch sequels. I didn't even bother to watch the trailer that just came out.
Two things about Gremlins 2: 1) The only people who "wanted" it were WB executives. They basically ordered Joe Dante & co. to make something; they didn't really care what. So they decided to have a little fun with it, which brings us to: 2) I think most people just plain didn't get what the sequel was going for. It wasn't a serious attempt to recreate the sensation that was the original. It was sort of a general showbiz satire, including a healthy dose of self-satire, without becoming an outright spoof movie. When watched in the right frame of mind, Gremlins 2 is a very enjoyable movie.
NOBODY wanted Matrix 4. After 2 and 3 were already bad enough, the fact that the Wachowskis hadn't made a good movie in over a decade meant that everyone wanted the franchise to stay dead. Most of the reactions when Matrix 4 was announced were 'Who is this for?'
Oh, I agree 100%. When I heard this was being made my first thought was “why?” Still, I tried watching it when it hit HBO Max but I couldn’t get through all the precious, self-referential nonsense. And you’re right about 2 and 3 being bad. I just pretend they don’t exist.
I imagine a big issue with a lot of these is that they're more "nerd culture" films than they are big budget family friendly things (not all obviously since Lego Movie 2 is on here). I, and many "nerd culture" peeps I imagine as well, have no real desire to go to the theater and deal with stupid expensive snacks and some asshole texting on their phone two rows ahead and the high as hell dude laughing at everything in the back. A $20+ evening for one with none of the conveniences of home like being able to pause to hit the bathroom or get a $1 box of candy that the theater wanted to charge me $5 for isn't something many niche audiences have any desire to deal with. The vast majority of these movies I did end up seeing...once they came out on DVD/BluRay/Streaming
However it did commercially, Gremlins 2 gave birth to one of the greatest sketch comedy bits of all time. The Key and Peele skit with the “Sequel Doctor” giving notes to the writers room.

What the MCU understands but apparently no one else does - there are not many actual “comic book” fans. You can’t make a movie FOR comic book fans and expect it to do well.
I loved The Matrix Resurrections and absolutely hated (I never use that word) Spider-Man No Way Home. Resurrections simply goes in a new, far deeper direction then simply a kung fu action film (although Neo does say "I still know Kung Fu!") The exploration of the mind and soul is where this movie was going. As for No Way Home, that movie was simply fan service of the poorest form - simply awful.
While I have seen every movie on this list, and I can agree with almost all of the arguments within, there is one I cannot. The number 1 movie, the matrix rebootquel had another reason working against it. It’s the same issue being encountered by the MCU and Star Wars, and I’m not talking about fatigue. It’s the politics and liberal agenda contained within the movie that is very off-putting. I truly wish the entertainment industry would realize that when people go see a movie that they don’t want to be inundated by the politics they see in everyday life. They want the escapism. They want to go into it looking forward to seeing a new world, a fresh idea, or a great story without and ulterior motive. I so wanted to like it, but there were so many reasons not to. And to top it off, you take an idea like “the one” and extend it to trinity, which not only lessens the value of neo, but pushes forward the idea that we’re all equal, which is not reality!
"It's a shame that fans didn't go see it when it mattered" I'm sorry but your take is as daft as Hollywood. Most people are barely affording to live week to week so can't afford a $20 movie ticket, let alone take a family for $100-$140 when they can wait 9 months and rent it for $7. I'm sorry us fans arent able to afford jack all
I saw 7 of them in the cinema in their opening week. I raved about Dredd to my friends, but the scars from the Judge Dredd movie prevented them from giving it a go.
I hardly ever go to the theater, but I did end up seeing Blade Runner 2049, it was good. Dredd , the same thing. Serenity was magic. That I did see in theater. Watchman was great, but the trailers made it look like garbage. My parents never took me to see movies as a kid, otherwise I would definitely have seen Gremlins 2. I still love this one.

@@gobot4455 It was up against E.T., I think that's the only significant reason for it's poor box office results. It's also one of the first movies that was revived and thrived in VHS and DVD. Before Blade Runner, movies that failed died totally, were forgotten. There wasn't even much from international sales. Nowadays, there's at least a chance for a film to have a second life.
"10 incredible movies that their fanbases wanted that just arrived at the wrong time."
There. That's a far less clickbaity yet more accurate title.
Firefly was a show that missed out on a long and glorious life. Amazing amazing show.
Horrible what syfy did to it. They wanted to focus on movies and less scifi. Missed out on the Firefly/Serenity market
I bet there isn't any war on the timeline where it did have a long life.
Liked it more than Killjoys and Killjoys got 5 seasons
*"Dredd"* was boom. Karl Urban rocked as the titular Mega City lawman. In fact, all the films listed here I like.
Let's remember that's the original blade runner tanked too . Anyone who loves blade runner truly understands 2049 and its deep beauty about not using technology to replace the beauty of reality
What do you mean "too"? Blade Runner 2049 made a nice 80 million profit. The original barely made its budget back.
@@AndreiDinTheHouse 80mio is still considered low by today's standard. Then again, 2049 still leaves a mark.
I really love it.
I remember coming out of the cinema after watching BR2049 to be faced with an orange sky very reminiscent of the Las Vegas scenes due to dust being swept up from the Sahara over to the UK - well it was either that or the UK advertising budget was much higher than elsewhere!
I am a fan of the original and I read the book. In the book he isn't. The second was a good movie, but the sequel waited too long after the first movie and everything that made the first one iconic wasn't in the second one.
@@AndreiDinTheHouse Original made in LA , budget $20 mil , opening weekend $6 mil , 2049 in Hungary . budget $150 mil , opening weekend $30 mil
By my math Blade Runner made 1/3 of its budget back on opening week end 2049 only made 1/5 , with 100 times more theaters .
In 1980 , it took few years to get that movie to smallest theaters , today it's in every theater at same time .
We cant really compare , 100 physical reel copies to 10 000 digital copies today ... consider that and 2049 is a massive loser .
You forgot to say that Scott Pilgrim is actually a hilarious comedy with superhero accents. Honestly it's a perfect movie and the music is good!
Brie Larsons Black Sheep!!
Matrix was not wanted, nor needed. On the other hand Dredd is spectacular, it’s a must watch for sure. I think Watchmen was great, too and doesn’t deserve hate from the fans of the comics.
the matrix so needed another film lol
dredd was freakin amazing. I wasn't even familiar with the character before I saw the movie and I loved the hell out of it.
Probably like 2 more
Watchmen is class. I'm an avid comic reader. Dread is superb. I've yet to watch the new matrix.
Dredd, Watchmen, and Scott Pilgrim were all masterpieces of cinema that were unfortunately too ahead of their time.
I saw Gremlins 2 as a kid and loved it...I thought it was hilarious and i don't think I would've believed it was a failure at the the box office. I still love it today but I'm old enough to get the inside jokes and I think its the superior film.
@@erakfishfishfish And I loved it for that!
@@erakfishfishfish - I wasn't up for such a drastic change in tone (nothing against people who did enjoy it, though).
I do recall that scene of Christopher Lee promising someone "I can get you diseases!". That one moment made it worth watching the movie, even though I have forgotten everything else about it.
I absolutely loved this movie growing up. Its one of the few movies that I can watch over and over. So many great moments. You can’t beat the burping gremlin, secretary, brain and, rambo gizmo. Where else could you have a typing gremlin secretary "saying coffee" and not laugh? Ah, so many great moments. My favorite scene is when Hulk Hogan tells the gremlins to put the movie back on. Also, John Glover was great as Mr. Clamp. I was watching Fear the Walking Dead and saw him playing “Teddy Maddox. I said to myself Mr. Clamp is back.
Have you seen Key and Peele's classic send up of G2?
A sequel should always be made because the creator(s) want to make it. Their passion is what drives the story and it works best when they explore the world they have created. Sequels made mostly because the box office was good will often rely on either doing the same thing like the first one did or do the opposite, like The Hangover franchise did.
Some movies, by their very nature, require there to be no sequels. I would put Highlander in that category. It's not just that all the sequels were awful, it was also the way they had to torture the story just to make them in the first place.
Karl Urban was a perfect Dredd. He was also wonderful in Almost Human.
Absolutely! I really wanted Almost Human to continue.
Damn straight he was! Dredd was fantastic because of karl Urban and I was legit miffed that Almost Human didn't get the opportunity to shine
i miss almost human.
Dredd remake was AWESOME! I didn’t see it in theaters because the 1st Dredd was ok-so I didn’t help the box office. BUT! When I watched it on physical media, I was blown away! A missed opportunity seeing it in 3D. Most of these films on the list is right on-great films but missed in theaters.
You couldn't tell the remake of Dredd was being taken seriously by the trailers and was closer to the original comic book? Ya know admittedly I saw the movie at a special screening for a film club. But after seeing it again I realized it's a new classic and defenitely deserved a sequel.
It wasn't a remake, it was a completely unrelated adaptation of the same source material.
Actual title: 10 Examples That Niche Fandoms and Reddit Popularity Don't Automatically Resolve Into Blockbuster Status.
Except for The Matrix: Resurrections... (which I streamed)... I, personally, saw EVERY one of these films in the theater. Don't blame me.
LIke you said, excepting Resurrections and Scott Pilgrim, and I them in theaters, and most of them twice or more...so, I can't be blamed either. I just think they should have included TRON: Legacy though, on the list.
Serenity was a terrific film and a decent ending to a tv series that was never given a decent chance to thrive....and trust me...it def would have thrived very very well...
"descent" ending decent comment?
Bladerunner was like Alien in Toronto. For years you went to the Cinesphere because IMAX wasn't around yet.
Awesome way to discover some films
I think the common problem here is the "everyone". Though a large demanding noise is often made on the internet, the "real world" majority of a potential audience needed to get those BIG BUCKS, neither know nor care about a movie, and don't go unless either their favourite star is in it, or they're literally told to go by constant traditional media marketing.
I still think Snyder did a great job with such a heavy (and timely/topical) story. I re-watch Watchmen every few months. I still find new details.
Same. That the series gets better critical reviews is stunning to me. I had to force myself to finish it and have no idea if there’s a second season coming. Nor do I care.
I love how the video kept using the word "everyone" when most of these IP had cult audiences at best. LEGO movie 2 is the only one that truly matches the topic. No one asked for the Matrix nor Snakes on a Plane and the rest were always destined to have niche audiences.
agreed
Other than children and adults who love children's movies too much, I don't know anyone that wanted the Lego Movie 2, either.
@@beauharmon3254 that still can be a rather sizable audience though.
Even though the title of the video might be a misnomer, but to be fair those two examples had incredible hype attached before release.
2049 I still can't believe opening night I was the only one in my Arizona theater loved the movie so sad modern audience can't sit and watch 3 hour slow burn
I loved "SIN CITY 2: A DAME TO DIE FOR"! I took my mate to see it at the flicks for his birthday. We both loved it.
Dredd was such an amazing film that actually felt true to the comics…. So sad
I found a DVD of Serenity at some store, bought it, watched and LOVED it. I dad no idea it was a series before that. Only months latter I was told that.
@@erakfishfishfish your wife did you a great service. Firefly is an incredible series. I watched the first episode when the series came out and did not continue watching I always regretted it. I’ve seen the series numerous times.
If you never saw Dredd in 3D at the movies when it released you missed out bigtime, easily the best movie experience of my life.
Legendary experience.
I only discovered it was 3D reading this comment (just before she mentioned it in the video). I was deployed when it was released, so I didn't get the chance to watch it in theaters at all but it's one of my favorite films, particularly on this list.
@@monteestowes1245 I've also seen it on a 3D TV, thats also cool, the slomo scenes lend so well to it, so that's another way you could try and see it in 3D, I highly recommend it mate. Also, thank you for you're service 🙏
Yes! The 3d was so immersive!!
I always liked the Sin City sequel, never understood why it had such a poor critical reception compared to the first one. Though I definitely preferred Clive Owen's portrayal of Dwight over Josh Brolin's (nothing against Brolin, he's an amazing actor who absolutely killed it in movies like No Country for Old Men and Sicario, I just enjoyed Owen's portrayal in Sin City more)
Sin City A Dame to Kill For was indeed a good movie, but was lacking in the marketing department. Many people didn't even know the movie came out, and others didn't even know the movie existed until years later. And it didn't help that at the time Sin City 2 came out in the same month as Guardians of the Galaxy, Expendables 3, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Tom's Cruise's Edge Of Tomorrow. Not saying that these movies were better than Sin City 2, but their marketing was definitely better.
I didn't even know they made it...
It was a good movie, but did not live up to the first one, I felt. Also, they promoted it when it was first announced, but basically stopped when it fell into production purgatory. I didn't even know they'd ever finished it until I stumbled across it on a streaming service a couple of years ago.
To me the sequel was forgettable IMO, which is unfortunate since I loved the 1st Sin City. I saw it in the theater and only remembered some parts. I agree I wish Clive Owens was in the sequel though I like Josh Brolin
I remember going to the movies (one of the few time) to see The Watchmen. Never read the book before. I was blown away by the graphics and the story.
JOHN CARTER is a great film, but Disney fucked up the marketing and so it flopped at box office.
Was it? I guess I’ll have to give it a shot.
@@dcvideos4721 Yeah it is a pretty good movie. The marketing killed it, though some reviewers feeling it was derivative of other Sci-Fi franchises didn't help. The original novels were the partial inspiration for later sci-fi films, so the film probably came out a decade or two too late.
Yeah, but I don't recall anyone saying "we need a John Carter movie"
John Carter really surprised me! I thought it was a great movie. The John Carter novels used concepts that audiences saw later in Superman and Star Wars, so critics thought they were seeing a repeat, but Carter was the source material, and conceptually better than what succeeded it. Good cast, too! I was very disappointing it did so poorly.
I saw Sin City in theaters and it was amazing! It just sucks it took almost a decade to release
10:31 - Don Stanton (Right), portrayed ‘Security Guard Lewis’ in T2: Judgment Day, along with his twin brother Dan Lewis (as the T-1000). This time, the brothers played characters named Martin & Lewis for G2: The New Batch.
Never knew that was a twin.
Sometimes why a movie doesn't do well is because there's too much competition out there even with a huge franchise, people only have limited time or funds to watch them, and a movies Box Office failure doesn't mean it's a bad movie, that's a matter of opinion.
A movies Box Office success doesn't mean it's a good movie. Look how 💩 No Way Home was, yet it almost made $2 billion.
@@jamespope7669 Oh Yes definitely that too.
if you think how much a movie does at the box office determines how good a movie is, you need to explore more than the imdb top 250.

Firefly still hurts... And DREDD, oh Dredd. You were to good a movie for the average movie goer. We could use more hard R movie's like this.
Firefly was AWESOME and I wanted to see more. Serenety just wasn't furefly. Firefly worked by carefully balancing the sci fi and western imagery. It was truly a space western. Serenety was just another sci fi flick. Aside from the bank robbery at the beginning there was no true western imagery in the movie.
“Blade Runner 2049” was a worthy sequel to its predecessor. I had a great job watching it & spotting all the homages to the original in certain shots and the themes
One of my favorite movies
It's always new and amazing feeling to have
Such a great fan like you that recognize my work and have so many fan pages in such a short period of time. As actors and performers, this adulation is what motivates us…… Keep watching, and I promise to bring more Entertainment to your way
i pirated matrix resurections and i still felt robbed and wanted my money back.
😄
I did the same and didn't even finish it.
DELETE.
It felt like a rehash of the other movies and not a new concept!
Went to see Lego Movie the 2nd part for my stepson’s birthday. It was the first time going to the theater for him. Loved it so much!
I understood the last Matrix was mostly done to prevent rebooting
Ohhhh, that makes sense
I didn't even realise they made a sequel to Sin City. I loved the first one and kept an eye out for the next one....and then just assumed it wasn't gonna happen and stopped thinking about it.
Dredd was a fantastic movie one of my all-time favorites. I didn't even really like the comic book but I'd love that movie. Sylvester Stallone turned it into a cheese ball and if Hollywood takes too long to turn something around into something good people lose interest no matter how much they like the concept.
Its the time it took to release. Fans want it. 5-10 years later....
Honestly, I loved the Lego movie 2 XD
The sibling vs sibling message and themes of changing your self image to be respected by those around you hit incredibly hard for me personally.
I did see Blade Runner 2049 in theaters. It was good, but my favorite part was the finale. That scene really made the the movie for me.
I bought the DVD .
What did you think of it?
@@davisphillips993 It was worth the purchase .
👍
I love all these movies. Sin City - A Dame to Kill For was an awesome movie!
Dredd is a fantastic film. And the Watchmen series can't really be compared to the film. It's in the same universe but deals with different subjects. It's like comparing an Avengers film to a Marvel Netflix series. (I loved the Watchmen series; the film not so much.)
I'm confused by the title. No one asked the Matrix Ressurections. I remember a lot of people being confused af when it was announced even going as far to say it would just be a cash grab. The trilogy was finished with the 3rd movie and they couldn't have expected it to catch on with audiences after 20 years. It's a whole new crowd and with advances in technology, they didn't really do much to revolutionize things like they did back then. It was just a generic action movie.
I've seen all of these. Some of them were really good, others tanked. The reason why no one saw those is because just by the trailers or premise, they could tell it would suck and didn't want to ruin the good memory.
I've seen most of these movies but you're right, not in theatres. It would be good to see the demographics for this time period. Some movies came before boomers, like me, had kids. So we saw the movie in the theatres. Then when kids came along, we sent to less theatres and starting renting/buying movies much more. So instead of 4 movie tickets, you had one rental and 4 people watching, often with other people visiting and watching too. When the kids were pre-teens and early teens we tended to go back to the theatres for the speciality movies (like LOTR trilogy) but then streaming came along and it was easier to stay at home. (And of the course the large number of illegal downloads.) I wasn't going to movies due to covid and had planned to return to the theatres when the virus lessened (slightly) and when the new Matrix movie came out. The virus didn't let up so like many movies of the previous two years, I didn't go. I decided to wait and watch it at home. If it weren't for the pandemic, I would have seen that in the theatres regardless of the reviews. As it is, the movie is not as bad as reviews portray it to be and certainly no worse than the third movie in the trilogy. So examining demographics and viewing trends more closely might be a better way of looking at numbers then simplistically saying "nobody watched". Last note and it doesn't help budgets or getting movies made but buying movies does result in many more people ultimately seeing a movie than any official figures allow for. For example I really enjoy THE BIG YEAR which didn't do well at the box office. And I understand why. But I know I've shown the movie to maybe 20 people over the years who had never seen it. I know I'm not alone. It would be nice to have a true sense of how many people actually saw a film.
the spirit was basically the bridge between sin city and a dame to kill for
Blade Runner 2049 is such a good movie. I don't care how much money it made
I think generally if people are gauging a film's quality by how much money it makes that's a pretty hollow view point. I mean the Transformers movies make bank and they're dumpster fires.
Agreed. It was so elegant.
@@daffyduck3536 Well, in this video they're not using it to gauge quality. They're using the box office money to gauge amount of viewership/popularity in theaters against expectations/popularity prior to release.
@@___Nightbreeze yes I realise that. My response is related to the above comment. I agree with OP in that Blade Runner 2049 is a great film, and tried to make the point that more generally box office earnings and artistic merit aren't one in the same.
Also, it's probably worth mentioning the sheer number of Lego themed video games, straight to DVD movies, etc. I'd say by the time the Lego sequel came out, there was already a lot of franchise fatigue.
I've seen all of these & Serenity would be in my top ten films of all times. I also love Sin City 2 although I agree it's not a patch on the first one.
Dredd was amazing and still upset they didn’t make a sequel & SPVTW was awesome!
I used to love going to the theater to see a movie, I even bought over priced snacks (because I knew that was how the theater made money...not from the films). I basically quit going to the theater because people not knowing how to behave in public. Side bar: only in Hollywood would a project that makes double it's cost be considered a flop.
It's always new and amazing feeling to have

I actually enjoyed "Sin City: A dame to kill for" much more than the first.
I hope this doesn't happen to Kill Bill 3 if Quinton decides to follow up on The Bride / Beatrix Kiddo (Black Mamba) and her daughter BB.
I did MY part for Serenity. I saw it TWICE on opening day.
Is it weird that I actually think all the movie's on the list are pretty decent
Yes, that is weird ☺
No. They are.
It is the result of not having a pickle in your bum.
Well the video is about bombing/ under performing at the box office. Nothing to do with quality.
For as MUCH and I LOVE "Fire Fly" I have the box set and watched it many times over the years. I don't know way I just never loved "Serenity". I bought the DVD used, watched it once years ago, and haven't opened up the case since then.
Gremlins 2 was in a different genre. I prefer it to the original , but that genre change was not expected by many, and turned many off.
I've seen all of these multiple times. Was only able to see some of them in theaters.
I dont know anyone personally that thought we needed another Matrix sequel. The original one is genuinely one of my favorite movies ever, the second one was watchable and the third one had about 10 minutes of watchable footage. I have yet to see the 4th obvious cash grab....and I likely wont. If I have an itch for matrix content Ill just go watch the original.
@@erakfishfishfish I havent seen it, from a couple reviews I have seen it seemed to be more poking fun at the studio then anything else. Something along the lines of "were gonna make it with or without you"....so they helped them make it but just made a joke of the whole thing. Like I said I loved the original but after that they have seemed more or less creatively bankrupt. Not all movies need an endless stream of sequels.....especially with characters that by all rights have no business being on the screen anymore. If anything I could see a tv series working if it had the right people behind it. But as far as im concerned this is one dead horse that doesnt need any further abuse.
It's watchable, at least I enjoyed it for the most part. I was entertained.
Yeah I saw all 3 films in the theater and love them, though 1st will be the best and 2nd was amazing to see with the highway scene in Theaters. I didn't have high hopes for the 4th ans happy I watched it at home which was a task lol. 4th was never needed. We should of got John Wick 4 instead lol.
At least Denis Villeneuve had success with Dune.
Blade Runner 2049 is a masterpiece and I will die on that hill.
It's like what Yogi Berra said about baseball, "If people don't want to come nobody's going to stop them."
I liked Sin City 2 but they left it too long after the first film was released for a sequel.
Raptors flying tie fighters in Lego 2 was hilarious.
Sometimes a blockbuster is a magnificent one-night stand, it's a glorious unforgettable night of passion which stands alone in time and should never be revisited. I think this extends from Jaws to Gremlins to Blade Runner and may prove true of Avatar.
I hate Avatar..I was dragged to see that movie TWICE in theater..first time Christmas with my mom and sister and then with my bf(now hubby) as a comprise for something I wanted lol. I fell asleep and refuse to watch sequels. I didn't even bother to watch the trailer that just came out.
Scott Pilgram had Captain America, Captain Marvel, Superman, and the Punisher...greatest comic book movie line up ever!
Gremlins 2 failed because THEY CHANGED ALL THE RULES... DUH
Two things about Gremlins 2:
1) The only people who "wanted" it were WB executives. They basically ordered Joe Dante & co. to make something; they didn't really care what. So they decided to have a little fun with it, which brings us to:
2) I think most people just plain didn't get what the sequel was going for. It wasn't a serious attempt to recreate the sensation that was the original. It was sort of a general showbiz satire, including a healthy dose of self-satire, without becoming an outright spoof movie. When watched in the right frame of mind, Gremlins 2 is a very enjoyable movie.
NOBODY wanted Matrix 4. After 2 and 3 were already bad enough, the fact that the Wachowskis hadn't made a good movie in over a decade meant that everyone wanted the franchise to stay dead. Most of the reactions when Matrix 4 was announced were 'Who is this for?'
Oh, I agree 100%. When I heard this was being made my first thought was “why?” Still, I tried watching it when it hit HBO Max but I couldn’t get through all the precious, self-referential nonsense. And you’re right about 2 and 3 being bad. I just pretend they don’t exist.
That is actually sad for filmmakers for making movies that audiences wants, but not interested at the last moment.
I imagine a big issue with a lot of these is that they're more "nerd culture" films than they are big budget family friendly things (not all obviously since Lego Movie 2 is on here).
I, and many "nerd culture" peeps I imagine as well, have no real desire to go to the theater and deal with stupid expensive snacks and some asshole texting on their phone two rows ahead and the high as hell dude laughing at everything in the back. A $20+ evening for one with none of the conveniences of home like being able to pause to hit the bathroom or get a $1 box of candy that the theater wanted to charge me $5 for isn't something many niche audiences have any desire to deal with.
The vast majority of these movies I did end up seeing...once they came out on DVD/BluRay/Streaming
exactly! i will most likely never go to a theater again. especially now that you can get that big screen experience in VR!
However it did commercially, Gremlins 2 gave birth to one of the greatest sketch comedy bits of all time. The Key and Peele skit with the “Sequel Doctor” giving notes to the writers room.
I love Serenity!!!! I was so sad they killed off Wash and Preacher!!
I also loved Gremlins 2!!

What the MCU understands but apparently no one else does - there are not many actual “comic book” fans. You can’t make a movie FOR comic book fans and expect it to do well.
when your intro segments are 5 seconds instead of 1 minute or more, i will sub
The ‘box office’ doesn’t make a great film💯
Sadly as Dredd proves, it does determine whether you get a sequel.
The Shawshank Redemption is proof of that.
"before video game adaptations where taking seriously" this line alone makes me think whoever wrote this has no idea what they are talking about...
I actually enjoyed The Matrix Resurrections. And even though Fishburne and Weaving were missed, I still loved it.
When i saw that 2and blade runner movie - it was just my dad and i, in the cinema! 😂
I loved The Matrix Resurrections and absolutely hated (I never use that word) Spider-Man No Way Home. Resurrections simply goes in a new, far deeper direction then simply a kung fu action film (although Neo does say "I still know Kung Fu!") The exploration of the mind and soul is where this movie was going. As for No Way Home, that movie was simply fan service of the poorest form - simply awful.
Dredd was one of those rare exceptions I make now adays in the theaters. Good flick!!
While I have seen every movie on this list, and I can agree with almost all of the arguments within, there is one I cannot. The number 1 movie, the matrix rebootquel had another reason working against it. It’s the same issue being encountered by the MCU and Star Wars, and I’m not talking about fatigue. It’s the politics and liberal agenda contained within the movie that is very off-putting. I truly wish the entertainment industry would realize that when people go see a movie that they don’t want to be inundated by the politics they see in everyday life. They want the escapism. They want to go into it looking forward to seeing a new world, a fresh idea, or a great story without and ulterior motive. I so wanted to like it, but there were so many reasons not to. And to top it off, you take an idea like “the one” and extend it to trinity, which not only lessens the value of neo, but pushes forward the idea that we’re all equal, which is not reality!
So this is about half of my 10 favourite movies of all time.
Anyone who hates watchmen needs to watch directors cut or ultimate cut. Theatrical cut is garbage
Anybody who isn't into comicbooks isn't going to want to sit through it.
Dredd was great in 3D. The slo-mo sequences were a highlight.
"It's a shame that fans didn't go see it when it mattered"
I'm sorry but your take is as daft as Hollywood.
Most people are barely affording to live week to week so can't afford a $20 movie ticket, let alone take a family for $100-$140 when they can wait 9 months and rent it for $7.
I'm sorry us fans arent able to afford jack all
I saw 7 of them in the cinema in their opening week.
I raved about Dredd to my friends, but the scars from the Judge Dredd movie prevented them from giving it a go.
Watchmen tv better than the film !!! Stay off the crack
right? lol Who in the history of people has ever said the group of words in that order before?
clearly paid to say so...
Not only is bladerunner 2049 better than the original, it does justice as a direct sequel AND is one of the best science fiction movies ever made
I hardly ever go to the theater, but I did end up seeing Blade Runner 2049, it was good.
Dredd , the same thing.
Serenity was magic. That I did see in theater.
Watchman was great, but the trailers made it look like garbage.
My parents never took me to see movies as a kid, otherwise I would definitely have seen Gremlins 2. I still love this one.
