If Rocky Horror Picture Show is the definition of cult classic (a work of fiction that is extremely popular with a select audience but may or may not be successful at the time of the work's original publication)?
Then what is the definition of the opposite, time flop (a work of fiction that was popular at the time of the work's original publication but is not very well-remembered at present time)?

shitty oscarbait movies that get critical acclaim and extended/secondary theater runs to coincide with their nominations that are totally forgotten by the following spring
the Artist springs to mind

In a generation it will be Star Wars. Disney are utterly killing that franchise by pandering to people who will never care about it.

Crash gets my vote. It literally won a Best Picture Oscar, but talk to any normal human being who saw it and they'll tell you what an unrealistic, preachy piece of shit it is.
Ayden Campbell
That's the same story for basically any post 90s best picture winner.
Who the fuck is talking about the Shape of Water anymore? Or Moonlight?
But everyone still knows Forest Gump.
Mason Watson
Depends on how the re-release performs.

you misunderstand. while the movies are not bad, they do deviate meaningfully from the books, and i assume the vast majority of people have cursory understanding of lotr based primarily on those movies, wiki digests, and the even less faithful video games. i am using "not very well-remembered at present time" not in the sense of awareness of the property, but popular understanding of the original work.

Twister. Second highest grossing film of 96 right under Independence Day, and outfucking sold Mission Impossible and Jerry Maguire. Bill Paxton, Philip Seymore Hoffman, Helen Hunt and Carey Elwes are in it and literally nobody remembers it, and rightly so. It’s humiliating.

You can the your pick from best Oscar winners which also did well on box office.
Kramer VS Kramer was a huge hit, but now a movie that lost to it, Apocalypse Now is regarded better. You could make the same argument with Gandhi and ET.

i mean it in the sense of every shire hobbit knowing the tale of biblos treasure, but only 1-4 havent "forgotten" the details. there is a neutering which occurs

The mission impossible franchise, or maybe the bourne series.
Mission impossible now that it has a bad association with a pointless remake
Caleb King

only after 4
