There have been a lot of these movies this decade so far: "The Last Duel", "In the Heights", "Furiosa", "The Suicide Squad", "Stillwater", "Babylon", "The Fabelmans", "The Covenant", and "Joy Ride"
3D fatigue unfortunately it arrived to the party late and made the 3D the star of the movie. Karl Urban was wasted as Dredd. The movie had a decent plot and all the rest, it's just that they pushed the 3D element too hard
I had same experience with Road House remake! I was all set to hate it lol. But the story was different enough from original and a lot of fun in my opinion.
Sadly, The Fall Guy came out one week until Kingdom of The Planet of The Apes was released, so you're losing all the premium tickets (IMAX, 4DX etc.) just after 1 week. It's a bummer, because Ryan Gosling is a great actor, but when he's casted as the leading actor, it doesn't translate to a Box Office success (Blade Runner 2049, First Man springs to my mind.).
The fact that both Blade Runner movies initially bombed, yet, they're both some of the richest, most thematically deep, and incredible films I've seen feels like a crime.
Fight club is my favorite movie of all time. It is crazy that it flopped when it came out as well as the other four that you just mentioned, it just shows that great movies flop as well
The Lone Ranger (2013) was a MASSIVE Box Office bomb but it is one of my favorite movies. It's super entertaining and I loved the mystical western vibe it had. William Fichtner also gave a great performance as the villain.
Im a huge fan of Waterworld with all the chaos behind the scenes.A massive storm destroyed the practical floating sets,they had to rebuild most of them.
"Fight Club", "The Fabelmans", "Last Night in Soho", "Kinds of Kindness", "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World", "The Thing (1982)", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Doctor Sleep", "Tenet", "Birds of Prey", "The Suicide Squad (2021)", etc. are my favorite underperformers.
One of my favorite movies of all time is Children of Men. That movie was also a box office bomb when it initially came out, but it has eventually become a cult classic of the sci fi/dystopian genre as well as arguably one of the most acclaimed and beloved films of the 21st Century.
I love ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’. I know it makes some bold choices, but I think it tells a very entertaining twist on the original story and is thoroughly entertaining
Blade Runner 2049 not only nails the cynical atmosphere of the original but also allows the world to evolve without relying on cheap nostalgia or excessive cameos. At its core, it is a movie about discovering humanity, and I'm sad that this story wasn't marketed properly to a 2010s audience.
I think we should discuss the differences between: Commercially successful, Critically Successful, and Cult Sucessful. The CCC of what a movie wants to sucessed
Agreed, it's definitely important to distinguish as either one of those can still make it "successful" in the filmmaker's eyes or in the viewer's eyes: Commercially Successful - Transformers Critically Successful - The Last Duel Cult Successful - Dredd All 3 - Rocky
My Picks-In no Particular Order: -Alex Garland's Annihilation -The Iron Giant -Batman: Mask of the Phantasm -The Secret of Kells -Mission Impossible 7 -The Suicide Squad -The Shift (Angel Studios) -The Best of Enemies -Ordinary Angels -All Dogs go to Heaven -The Rescuers: Down Under -Alice in Wonderland (Disney Cartoon)
@joshhickeysmoviereviews I have to respectfully disagree. Usually when a Christian movie has most critics disliking it, that won't them from attending the film. I see where there was really no marketing for the film as, I guess, all that marketing was put in Sound of Freedom which is currently Angel Studios' highest grossing movie of 2023. Then, let's not forget His Only which I didn't hear about except from a YT channel called Say Goodnight, Kevin, who gave it a great review on it. Tbh, I think the reason the movie didn't make money was 2 reasons: 1) lack of marketing and 2) I think there are Christians who believe sci-fi and the Bible can't go together because they think if it's sci-fi it may be blasphemous.
It did deserve to bomb when it's a prequel spinoff focusing on a side character most people didn't care enough about, cost $168 million dollars to make, and also had terrible marketing where it was marketed as a girl boss movie.
Sean, I completely agree with you on the Flash. I've lost both my parents and the scene at the end when he's saying goodbye to his mom really got to me. I also loved Dredd. A couple of recent movies I liked that didn't do well are The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and 65.
Here is my top 10 box office bombs😂: 1 - Furiosa 2 - The Flash 3 - The Shawshank Redemption 4 - Dredd 5 - Masters of the Universe 6 - The Fabelmans 7 - The Iron Giant 8 - Edge of Tomorrow 9 - Over the Top 10 - Street Fighter (1994)
My favorite Box Office Bomb is Clue from 1985. Given the title, it’s an adaptation of the board game, and it’s a phenomenal one at that. It’s got a phenomenal cast of characters with some stars like Tim Curry and Christopher Lloyd, it can be very funny at times, and it’s very intriguing. But at the box office, it couldn’t even make back its low production budget! It only costed $15 million to make, and only made $14.6 million in its initial release. Nearly 40 years later, I still haven’t stumbled upon a cult following, so if you haven’t seen Clue, check it out. It’s a blast!
This was a fun list. So many of these movies are bonafide classics today. Love Shawshank Redemption & Office Space from your list. Other box-office bombs I love are It's a Wonderful Life, That Thing You Do!, The Rocketeer, Galaxyquest and Conspiracy Theory.
The ones that come immediately to my mind are The Shawshank Redemption and Treasure Planet, which are among my all time favorite movies. Shawshank specifically is my 6th favorite movie of all time 🔥 Oh and Blade Runner 2049! And more recently, I really loved Fall Guy and Furiosa too
@@scottyskywalker5768 fact is it still was a box office flop specifically, meaning it didn’t do great in theaters. Streaming and home release is different
Some of my favorite films that bombed 💣badly at the box office are: "Curly Sue" "Blade Runner 2049" John Carpenter's "The Thing" "The Shawshank Redemption" "The Relic" Chuck Russell's "The Blob" "Dredd" "Deep Rising"
Bombs I've loved 1. MI: Dead Reckoning (favorite MI film) 2. Treasure Planet (favorite animated sci-fi film) 3. Road to El Dorado (favorite 2D film from Dreamworks)
@@zackarydecicco3919I agree. I thought the action was poorly shot for Mission Impossible, too much of the action was in close ups, especially the car chase scene, the villain was weak and thought the AI plot could’ve been a great plot point.
The Last Duel, Ad Astra, Dragged Across Concrete, Sahara, Collateral Damage, Soldier, The Glimmer Man, Stealth, The Lone Ranger, Cutthroat Island, The Art of War, Poseidon, Cowboys and Aliens and Bullet to the Head.
Oh yeah Terminator dark fate where they just decided after 40 something years that John Connor is no longer the chosen one and needs replacing with a diverse female....
The three that always spring to my mind are Big Trouble in Little China, Streets of Fire, and Flesh + Blood. All three were probably a bit ahead of their time.
Some movies that I enjoyed that bombed at the box office 1. Blue Beatle 2. Scream 4 3. Mission Impossible 7 4. Skyscraper 5. Scooby-Doo 2 6. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny 7. Halloween Ends 8. Blacklight 9. Batman Returns 10. Aquaman 2
Batman Returns, Skyscraper & Halloween Ends were not box office bombs. Even Scream 4 probably broke even on its theatrical release although it is the black sheep of the Scream franchise box office wise. Otherwise good picks.
Scream 4 did bomb. It only made 97 million, compared to the first 3 that made over 100 million. It bombed due to poor marketing. Not very many people knew about it.
@@billymoore7182 Scream 4 certainly underperformed compared to the rest of the franchise but with a 97 million gross on a 40 million budget, it may still have broken even in theatres. Not a success by any means but hard to call it an out and out bomb imo.
Starship Troopers was the first rated R movie my dad took me too in theaters for my 14th birthday with a couple of my friends. When that shower scene happened on saw him put his hand to his in to say “wtf did I do…” hahaha
1. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World 2. Edge of Tomorrow 3. The Thing 4. Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning 5. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 6. Blade Runner: 2049 7. The Shawshank Redemption 8. The Suicide Squad 9. Children of Men 10. Warrior 11. The Flash 12. The Creator 13. The Killers of the Flower Moon 14. Godzilla (1998) 15. Dredd
Excellent list! My Favorite Bombs: 1. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow 2. Tron and Tron Legacy 3. Brazil 4. Dark City 5. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 6. The Thing (Carpenter’s, of course)
Journey To Bethlehem, Narnia Prince Caspian, The Fall Guy, Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning, The Suicide Squad, Blade Runner 2049, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Blue Beetle, SCOOB! All great movies that deserved to do much better.
Dead Reckoning struggled at the box office for one reason and one reason alone "Part 1" who is gonna pay to watch half a movie that you can't see the other half of for three years? You'll need to rewatch it to remind you of what happened before "part 2" comes out anyway
My Favorite Box Office Bombs (That I Know Off Hand Bombed): 1) Zodiac 2007 (When accounting for the promotion budget and the movie theaters' cuts) 2) The Shawshank Redemption 3) Donnie Darko 4) The Suicide Squad 5) Air 6) The Creator 7) The Flash 8) The Marvels 9) Killers Of The Flower Moon 10) Romeo & Juliet (Starring Hailee Steinfeld & Douglas Booth)
Warrior is quite a good movie. Regardless of the believability of the fights, the story is extremely wonderful. It's not just a fight movie. It's something else completely.
Spinal Tap, that’s a great call! It was infamously deemed “not funny” by musicians of the time like Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne, because it reminded them too much of their own experiences
There’s a few to be mentioned but I’ll just go with the one and it’s a film a lot of people don’t give a second look.. The Good Dinosaur. I was about 18 when this film came out and as much as it’s a goofy looking movie about a boy and his dog/Dinosaur and his Human. The story and premise of it just resonated with me so much. I was definitely a very timid and scared kid, constantly anxious and introverted. It was hard to get out of it and I’m still that kind of character internally I had to find my own confidence and courage growing up and Milo’s journey just hits so hard and close to home for me. People say it’s one of Pixar’s weaker stories but for me it’s one of their most realistic. Seeing how scared and useless Milo feels at the beginning isn’t far off how it actually is and to see him at the end of his journey just makes me so happy. Also Sam Eliot the Texas T-Rex and his speech was such a great moment it always pops in my mind every now and then haha
Some movies I like that BOMBED at the box office are Thomas & The Magic Railroad, Chaplin, Lightyear, The Monuments Men, PT 109, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, and lastly I'll say, Barney's Great Adventure (well, I liked the movie when I was a little kid because Barney was a show I loved so much back then). That's all I can think of, Sean.
Here are five of mine: -2011’s the Three Musketeers -Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull -mannequin -Taxi with Jimmy Fallonand Queen Latifah -Pixels
@SeanChandlerTalksAbout : Thanks Sean, great video as usual! Reminded me I still need to finally watch Spinal Tap. FYI : Scott Pilgrim is actually a manga not a comic book (it was even originally printed in the Japanese way of reading, turning the pages left to right). The author himself acknowledges it as being a manga and Japanese mangaka recognized Scott Pilgrim as being the first true manga coming from the Western World.
Here are the Top 10 Box Office Bombs I love: 10. The Suicide Squad 9. Last Action Hero 8. Dredd 7. Warrior 6. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 5. Doctor Sleep 4. Blade Runner 2049 3. The Shawshank Redemption 2. John Carpenter’s The Thing 1. It’s a Wonderful Life If you would like to hear my thoughts on any of these movies I love, ask away and I’ll do my best to respond!
i’m content that you didn’t neglect to mention The Raid when discussing Judge Dredd! The Raid blew my M’F’n mind and Judge Dredd totally ripped off the idea. Most people don’t even know about the similarities so kudos to you sir👏
My biggest issue with the Flash (to be fair I have not seen it but I have watched multiple comprehensive breakdowns and analyses of the plot) is that the whole story is about the fact that we can't change the past and we have to move on. Barry says goodbye to his mother, having learnt his lesson, but then he immediately changes something in the past that will get his dad out of jail. It completely invalidates the point and lesson he's meant to learn. Sure he didn't get his mother back but he was still able to improve his circumstances by messing with time. If they didn't make that one choice, I think the film's emotional core could have more to stand on
Well, the movie didn’t really have a main villain to be stopped. Flash stopping the tomatoes from imprisoning his dad is the only justice we get in this thing. 😂
The movies I saw in the theater from your list: The Shawshank Redemption (2 times) Scott Pilgrim Vs The World Fight Club (4 times) The Suicide Squad So I did my part. 😊
My top 10 favorite box office bombs (from oldest to most recent): The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970) Budget: $3,7 mil. Box office: $5 mil. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974) Budget: $1.5 mil. Box office $700k The Changeling (1980) Budget: $6.6 mil. Box office: $12 mil. The Thing (1982) Budget: $15 mil. Box office: $20 mil. Over the Top (1987) Budget: $25 mil. Box office: $16 mil. The Shawshank Redemption (1994) Budget: $25 mil. Box office: $73 mil. Showgirls (1995) Budget: $40-45 mil. Box office: $38 mil. Unleashed/Danny the Dog (2005) Budget: $45 mil. Box office: $51 mil. Dredd (2012) Budget: $30-45 mil. Box office: $41,5 mil. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) Budget: $168 mil. Box office: $173 mil.
Some of my picks are The Long Kiss Goodnight, Last Action Hero, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Stranger than Fiction, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Matador, The Nice Guys, A Scanner Darkly, both Bladerunner movies, Life Aquatic & Donnie Darko.

Dredd was so good, both my dad & I loved it. We couldn't believe it didn't do well.
3D fatigue unfortunately it arrived to the party late and made the 3D the star of the movie. Karl Urban was wasted as Dredd. The movie had a decent plot and all the rest, it's just that they pushed the 3D element too hard
“The fall guy” was a pleasant surprise for me! Unfortunate that it didn’t make much at the box office.
I had same experience with Road House remake! I was all set to hate it lol. But the story was different enough from original and a lot of fun in my opinion.
Same here! I thought it was great and was really bummed that it didn't do well.
@@littlenickelbushfarm9804 Haven't watched it yet but was pleasantly surprised with how good Road House remake was. Probably watch Fall Guy tonight
Sadly, The Fall Guy came out one week until Kingdom of The Planet of The Apes was released, so you're losing all the premium tickets (IMAX, 4DX etc.) just after 1 week.
It's a bummer, because Ryan Gosling is a great actor, but when he's casted as the leading actor, it doesn't translate to a Box Office success (Blade Runner 2049, First Man springs to my mind.).
Shawshank redemption is one of the most brilliant films ive ever seen
Watched it for the first time earlier this year and i was absolutely blown away
The fact that both Blade Runner movies initially bombed, yet, they're both some of the richest, most thematically deep, and incredible films I've seen feels like a crime.
Most overrated films of all time. Bar none
My top 5:
1. Shawshank Redemption
2. Fight Club
3. The Thing
4. Warrior
5. Furiosa
Just look at those list 👀 they're classics and Masterpiece. Even I would easily say Furiosa as well.
Fight club is my favorite movie of all time. It is crazy that it flopped when it came out as well as the other four that you just mentioned, it just shows that great movies flop as well
Damn I never new fight club was bomb, that’s one of my absolute favourites of all time
Gotta say, to date, I hate Starship Troopers. I find it unwatchable. But my guilty pleasure flop is Master of the Universe. I also loved Warrior.
One of the biggest tragedies in Hollywood is that Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves didn't do well.
Agreed
Because the film makers bragged about intentionally emasculating the men
100%
That was SUCH a good movie.
@@UnlessRoundIsFunny too bad we’re not gonna see another one. I wish these filmmakers would keep their mouths shut.
As someone who lost his daughter, The Flash resonated with me too.
The Lone Ranger (2013) was a MASSIVE Box Office bomb but it is one of my favorite movies. It's super entertaining and I loved the mystical western vibe it had. William Fichtner also gave a great performance as the villain.
That. It's such a fun action packed movie. It should get more love
Annihilation and Blade Runner 2049 are my favorite sci-fi movies ever
Im a huge fan of Waterworld with all the chaos behind the scenes.A massive storm destroyed the practical floating sets,they had to rebuild most of them.
"Fight Club", "The Fabelmans", "Last Night in Soho", "Kinds of Kindness", "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World", "The Thing (1982)", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Doctor Sleep", "Tenet", "Birds of Prey", "The Suicide Squad (2021)", etc. are my favorite underperformers.

I would throw Water World into the ring. I love that movie lol. Plus I've always liked Costner.
I love ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’. I know it makes some bold choices, but I think it tells a very entertaining twist on the original story and is thoroughly entertaining
Agreed, 3rd best film in the franchise for me
I loved it
For me Terminator: Sarah Connor chronicles tv series is amongst the best things in the franchise. That particular series totally bombed.
"bold choices"
Killing off John Connor to replace him with a diverse female.
That's suicidal, not bold
This year is goes to Furiosa.
Blade Runner 2049 not only nails the cynical atmosphere of the original but also allows the world to evolve without relying on cheap nostalgia or excessive cameos. At its core, it is a movie about discovering humanity, and I'm sad that this story wasn't marketed properly to a 2010s audience.
100% agree with this take
I hated that movie, it was not a good sequel at all. Blade runner was not a classic but pretty good and part of Harrison’s golden period.
Overrated though not as much as the original. Never witnessed anything so boring in my life
Say what you will about the flash...
I personally teared up at the end. Def underrated
Too many people couldn't separate ezra miller and his behaviour from the film,I really enjoyed the flash
I really appreciate your candor in this video. Keep on keeping on!! You rock.
I think my favourite box office bomb has got to be Howard the duck. I seriously love that movie 😊
Sorry to here about your dad man I had no idea the happened such a long time ago. But Im glad you got past it and may he rest in peace ❤❤
I think we should discuss the differences between: Commercially successful, Critically Successful, and Cult Sucessful.
The CCC of what a movie wants to sucessed
Agreed, it's definitely important to distinguish as either one of those can still make it "successful" in the filmmaker's eyes or in the viewer's eyes:
Commercially Successful - Transformers
Critically Successful - The Last Duel
Cult Successful - Dredd
All 3 - Rocky
My Picks-In no Particular Order:
-Alex Garland's Annihilation
-The Iron Giant
-Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
-The Secret of Kells
-Mission Impossible 7
-The Suicide Squad
-The Shift (Angel Studios)
-The Best of Enemies
-Ordinary Angels
-All Dogs go to Heaven
-The Rescuers: Down Under
-Alice in Wonderland (Disney Cartoon)
I personally know the director of the Shift, and I too, am sad it only made $12 million. ):
@joshhickeysmoviereviews yeah, I mean The Shift has room for improvement, but man I was excited to see it. I wonder why it didn't make money.
@@jacindaellison3363 Because there was virtually no marketing, it's a pro-Christian film, the critics hated it because it was pro-Christian.....

Excellent list! My Favorite Bombs: 1. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow 2. Tron and Tron Legacy 3. Brazil 4. Dark City 5. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 6. The Thing (Carpenter’s, of course)
Journey To Bethlehem, Narnia Prince Caspian, The Fall Guy, Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning, The Suicide Squad, Blade Runner 2049, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Blue Beetle, SCOOB! All great movies that deserved to do much better.
Dead Reckoning struggled at the box office for one reason and one reason alone "Part 1" who is gonna pay to watch half a movie that you can't see the other half of for three years? You'll need to rewatch it to remind you of what happened before "part 2" comes out anyway
My Favorite Box Office Bombs (That I Know Off Hand Bombed):
1) Zodiac 2007 (When accounting for the promotion budget and the movie theaters' cuts)
2) The Shawshank Redemption
3) Donnie Darko
4) The Suicide Squad
5) Air
6) The Creator
7) The Flash
8) The Marvels
9) Killers Of The Flower Moon
10) Romeo & Juliet (Starring Hailee Steinfeld & Douglas Booth)
Here's a news flash I learned. As legendary as the movie is now, The Wizard of Oz wasn't that big of a hit at first.
@@AJDaniels99 It’s A Wonderful life too. I believe both movies became popular once cable television was a thing.
WARRIOR is absolutely the bomb!!! Modern day Rocky!! Love all the characters!!! Nolte left everything on the screen!!!
Warrior is quite a good movie. Regardless of the believability of the fights, the story is extremely wonderful. It's not just a fight movie. It's something else completely.
Spinal Tap, that’s a great call! It was infamously deemed “not funny” by musicians of the time like Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne, because it reminded them too much of their own experiences
There’s a few to be mentioned but I’ll just go with the one and it’s a film a lot of people don’t give a second look..
The Good Dinosaur.
I was about 18 when this film came out and as much as it’s a goofy looking movie about a boy and his dog/Dinosaur and his Human. The story and premise of it just resonated with me so much. I was definitely a very timid and scared kid, constantly anxious and introverted. It was hard to get out of it and I’m still that kind of character internally
I had to find my own confidence and courage growing up and Milo’s journey just hits so hard and close to home for me. People say it’s one of Pixar’s weaker stories but for me it’s one of their most realistic. Seeing how scared and useless Milo feels at the beginning isn’t far off how it actually is and to see him at the end of his journey just makes me so happy. Also Sam Eliot the Texas T-Rex and his speech was such a great moment it always pops in my mind every now and then haha
Some movies I like that BOMBED at the box office are Thomas & The Magic Railroad, Chaplin, Lightyear, The Monuments Men, PT 109, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, and lastly I'll say, Barney's Great Adventure (well, I liked the movie when I was a little kid because Barney was a show I loved so much back then). That's all I can think of, Sean.
Here are five of mine:
-2011’s the Three Musketeers
-Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull
-mannequin
-Taxi with Jimmy Fallonand Queen Latifah
-Pixels
Stop watching movies your taste is AWFUL
For me, it’s blade runner 2049. Absolutely fantastic
@SeanChandlerTalksAbout : Thanks Sean, great video as usual! Reminded me I still need to finally watch Spinal Tap. FYI : Scott Pilgrim is actually a manga not a comic book (it was even originally printed in the Japanese way of reading, turning the pages left to right). The author himself acknowledges it as being a manga and Japanese mangaka recognized Scott Pilgrim as being the first true manga coming from the Western World.
I love The Flash. And D&D is one of my favorite films of 2023.
13:27 me with Pirates part two and three, over part one. 😤
One of my favourite films that bombed is one called Once Upon A Time In America. I highly recommend you check it out Sean.
One of the most critically acclaimed films of all time?
He's probably heard of it 😂
One of mine is Strange World, the Disney film. It was surprisingly touching and adventurous. Treasure Planet and Fantasia too.
Dredd need a second Movie! Underrated!
Dredd was way ahead of its time i love it
Especially in 3d
You should a video opposite to this: Movies that did great at the box office that you don’t like.
I love Dredd. Such a fun, great movie. Highly, highly underrated
Here are the Top 10 Box Office Bombs I love:
10. The Suicide Squad
9. Last Action Hero
8. Dredd
7. Warrior
6. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
5. Doctor Sleep
4. Blade Runner 2049
3. The Shawshank Redemption
2. John Carpenter’s The Thing
1. It’s a Wonderful Life
If you would like to hear my thoughts on any of these movies I love, ask away and I’ll do my best to respond!
I loved the Michael Keaton as Batman piece again… The flash is very nostalgic for me.
Dr. Sleep is amazing, and imo the best stephen king adaptation.
You like Dr Sleep more than the Shining? ARE YOU OUTTA YOUR MIND? Lol great video as always!
Great video, a films quality and legacy should never be determined from box office alone
Judge Dredd is one of my favorite action movies ever. Ugh it’s so good.
Out of Sight was a great film and that bombed at the box office! Big Trouble in Little China was another one!
i’m content that you didn’t neglect to mention The Raid when discussing Judge Dredd! The Raid blew my M’F’n mind and Judge Dredd totally ripped off the idea. Most people don’t even know about the similarities so kudos to you sir👏
You’re one of my favorite crappy RUclipsrs ❤️
My biggest issue with the Flash (to be fair I have not seen it but I have watched multiple comprehensive breakdowns and analyses of the plot) is that the whole story is about the fact that we can't change the past and we have to move on. Barry says goodbye to his mother, having learnt his lesson, but then he immediately changes something in the past that will get his dad out of jail. It completely invalidates the point and lesson he's meant to learn. Sure he didn't get his mother back but he was still able to improve his circumstances by messing with time. If they didn't make that one choice, I think the film's emotional core could have more to stand on
Well, the movie didn’t really have a main villain to be stopped. Flash stopping the tomatoes from imprisoning his dad is the only justice we get in this thing. 😂
Same 3 for me Sean. The Suicide Squad, Warrior, and Dredd
Not sure if it's on the Patreon exclusive, but I'd say The King of Comedy.
1. Shawshank Redemption
2. Edge of Tomorrow
3. Furiosa
4. Dredd
5.Rise of the Guardians
6. Chronicles of Riddick
7. Treasure Planet
The movies I saw in the theater from your list:
The Shawshank Redemption (2 times)
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World
Fight Club (4 times)
The Suicide Squad
So I did my part. 😊

Bruh from Disney alone… John Carter, Atlantis, and Treasure Planet 😭😭😭
Redline 2009, Dredd 2012 & Scott Pilgrim vs the world.
Killer Klowns From Outer Space is *the* lovable box office bomb for me
"Joker sells tickets" has not aged well.
One bomb I really liked was Abigail, the only reason it flopped was because it didn't stay in theatres for long enough
As Marty Mcfly once said “I guess you guys aren’t ready for it, but your kids are gonna love it”
Sean great video. Just highlights that film watching is all subjective. Some movies may be bombs to others but gems to others.
I've always hoped for a Dredd 2. You would think with the ancillary market that Dredd would have passed into profitability by now.
