Titan A.E., Blade Runner 2049
John Carter.
I saw this at a friend's. It was surprisingly good, and very stylish.
...
Speed Racer was good but that fat kid's wacky antics ruined it.
The Room
Avengers Endgame
Did it really lose money though? Maybe in the short run, but it's become something of a pop culture phenomena.
The kino-est of all flopkino
Was a commercial success but so expensive it was a loss for Fox
I haven't seen it. Is Elizabeth Taylor hot in it? I kind of have a boner for Egyptian stuff.
It is really good but long.
this fucking movie
was ghostrider a flop? im not gonna look up every movie. i enjoyed ghostrider. neat hero, nick cage is himself, the devil was cool, and tits that belonged to eva mendes during prime years.
>blocks your nuke
what? no way that flopped, literallye veryone loved it
Fucking christ this movie is a trip. some of those race scenes had me almost convulsing.
something definitely flopped in that film
a classic
Fun fact: they actually had the controls to the cars rigged up to a simulation and the data was used by the animators, so that the actors' and movements would match the way the cars were moving.
That ending was cinegasm.
Oscarbait is never kino
If a movie loses money it obviously isn't a good movie
/thread
It was like a visual representation of what nutting feels like.
>what? no way that flopped, literallye veryone loved it
Everyone on Yea Forums and Yea Forums...
It did terrible in the box office though, didn't even make it's budget back.
they made a sequel so it couldn't have been a flop
yep that's why they never made any sequels
Everyone loved it when it came out on rental. It was pretty much ignored in the cinema.
that's a lotta effort
Lost money. Lot of it.
If only we lived in a world without scarce resources or required marketing. Alas, we do not, so the quality of the movie is not usually the deciding factor.
>Stop posting 90IQ.
its so much worse than oscar bait, it's hugh grant masturbating to himself, repeatedly.
awesome movie
They sort of made a sequel. It was more like a soft reboot, although it still stars Nic Cage. I thought it was better than the first movie desu.
is it good?
no fucking way
This is one of those movies I just plain can't believe flopped. I saw it in 3D the week it came out and I was blown away. It was like, the best action movie of the decade.
That was such a dog shit movie.
The only thing I got out of it was recognising locations.
They shot it in Australia because I guess it looks enough like Texas on screen.
for me, it's Yoona-939
(Unfortunately) nobody cares about Judge Dredd as a franchise, and it came out in the middle of the comic book movie glut.
Ghost Rider was okay for a dumb Nicholas Cage movie. But the sequel Spirit of Vengeance was complete shit and almost unwatchable. I'd heard good things but it sucked major ass
"No"
Jesus, where to begin. Off the top of my head:
Zodiac
Blade Runner
Blade Runner 2049
Heaven's Gate
Steve Jobs (2015, not the shitty Ashton Kutcher one)
Annihilation
Suspiria (2018)
pls add to list
Where the hell was Nick Cage during End Game, anyway?
They let Cage go full batshit for the second one, it was a definite improvement over the first. The first was so meh nobody could muster any enthusiasm for the sequel, though.
floplita
>argumentum ad populum
also you can't /thread your own post you arrogant swine
Why did this movie have so many generals
Alita: Battle Angel.
Incoherent shit
>Blade Runner 2049
this deserved to flop even harder than it did. good thing dune definitely will.
Eyyyy fellow sneedposters.
You should watch Drive Angry, it's basically exactly the same as Ghost Rider but good.
Nick Cage literally drives a car out of Hell.
Is 'Alita' Japanese for 'Lolita'?
Based as fuck
lol, that would have honestly been a quip id appreciate. just immortal fiery head nick cage confused, angry, and wanting to do the right thing. then sam elliot comes over and sips a coors banquet.
on topic, the warriors way is way too fun. i know it builds up almost entirely to the final 10 moinute long fight, but damn was it fun to watch
sounds fun
out of all the films i have seen in my life this is still the only one that warrants a re watch now and then
Based. Speed Racer is probably the best anime adaptation ever made. It's at least the best Wachowski Trannies production.
It deserved better.
Normies couldn't get past the big eyes.
Steve Jobs was great but that faggot Jew Seth Rogen shit all over the film and brought a lot or bad press to it. Sorkin was the screenwriter btw
thats a good point, havent thought about that film in years. dad and i rented it one night, we had a couple beers and really bonded over how cool that thing was. it's absurd, badass, creative, and really has that feeling of "as if i give a shit" that makes you want to contiue watching. i think theres boobs too
I haven't seen it but I heard it was actually pretty good. I guess there just wasn't that much market for a big budget Power Rangers.
I liked it when I saw it in the theater but I also recall it wasn't great. I am absolutely sure it bombed spectacularly.
I jerked it to the pink ranger. ngl
Good movie, very touching
It took a little too long to get to the Power Rangering (a problem lots of origin stories have), but the actors were great and it was pretty well received. At least Hasbro will be making a new movie, though not likely a sequel.
It was straight popcorn, and it was poppin every second.
masks are too creepy
this movie
Speaking of flopkino, I thought GI Joe Retaliation was great. It's too bad that the mixed reaction to the first film rolled over onto it, because it was a much better movie. The same thing happened to Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. They actually listened to a lot of the criticisms of the first film but the damage had already been done.
Interesting, I'll watch it tonight
I wouldn't say "great" to either of those, but yes I would agree that both improved drastically on the first ones by listening to the fans.
Watching this in 3D was great
and I don't care for 3D
i need to finish it, like you said, it took too long to get to the power ranges. i know they cant quite remake the awesome cheesiness of the 90s, but i didnt quite care for the dark take they went with.
Seeing this in the theater in 3D was a treat.
>that first booming bass note and the long shot of Mega-City One
Simple explanation.
The first one was cheesey and forgettable except for this hot ass chick with the sexy glasses and leather suit
i liked both. they had pretty solid casts too.
It's pure kino but it's not even gonna make its money back
damn, had no idea that was a flop. riddick is the best modern adaptation of the quiet, uber-powerful rogue.
I thought the first one sucked but Retaliation was really fun. I got dragged to it by my brother who watches nothing but garbage but I actually liked this one
Director's Cut, I agree
Theatrical cut is shit
While we're discussing completely insane Cagekino I'd like to mention Vampire's kiss which is maybe still the best thing he's ever done
Yeah, it is why the third movie was scaled down. Gotta love Vin Diesels dedication to having these movies made.
This wasn't great but was a lot better than I expected after the rotten reviews. Great cinematography.
a movie for 12 year old boys just before puberty, and men who never escaped puberty mentally.
perfect for Yea Forums[nel]
The 13th warrior
Opened to negative reviews and became a box office loss. Now it is a classic shown every Christmas on network tv.
pretty much. loli face and loli brain on a young woman body.
it works
/thread
Flopped hard but is actually a great western. It has it's flaws but overall it's one of my favorite movies, and I refused to see it for years because of all the negative press around it upon release.
I loved the original Speedracer, I always watch it on MTV before it got cancelled because of fucking Ferrari being faggots.
It still lives on in biology classrooms with substitute teachers all across America.
doesn't look like that axe wound is gonna heal anytime soon
lo
Director Capra was also accused of being a commie for this one. Unironically one of the top movies of all time
The costume designer from chronicles is doing Dune
because he was/is a dirty red
>how to make the longest thread ever
Should watch if you haven't seen this. Viking kino.
good, always thought the necromongers were like what I wanted the sardukar to look like
Still made the most patriotic US film to date.
When's the sequel? This shit was rad
Never
pinkos aren't welcome here
Oh nevermind it was a tv-series my bad. Keith Urban want's to star in it too.
>news.avclub.com

Based, a shame the marketing team was filled with people who thought plebiest of dubstep would make a good appealing trailer for a gritty action film.
Used the lamest sounding girly brostep in a time when people were still shitting on the genre as a whole.
Remember this marketing team, so that they may never work on anything.
youtube.com
yea if its any good I think he'll be happy to at least cameo occasionally
stop licking jew banker ass, go back to r/the_donald
loved both of these
I've seen that shit twice or even three times and I still don't know what the fuck it was about.
Too many drugs in the writing and editing rooms.
I'm surprised he agreed to do the movie in the first place knowing that his face wouldn't get shown
Bad Lieutenant is my pick
jesus how did they manage to make the trailer boring
Because Urban is a real actor, who cares more about the role than his own ego.
The two video games were also really good too.
By far the best movie-games i've ever played.
I cannot believe nobody has brought this up
The sad thing is people aren't like that anymore
It was aimed at retarded Mexican children and it deserved to flop
Because Urban is a fucking nerd and knows Dredd never ever exposes his face in comics.
This shit is very underrated
oh fuck, that one was beautiful. stupid stupid audiences.
Still not as good as its source material
shes hot ye
I don't think it did well in the theaters, but I watch it everytime it comes on
I fucked the yellow power ranger.
Vampire's Kiss was funny but Bad Lieutenant is peak Cage
also can't believe no one has posted this either, another one I turn on Everytime I see it's playing
>the part where Racer X does a flip over the opponents car, slaps him in the head and laughs at how stupid it was
nice, i like this one
source was weebshit right? can't be worse.
RIP Carolco
but it lost 20 million
That's what speed racer is about my dude. Corny scenes.
the worst part is, every 15 second teaser, such as an ad on twitter or on someones' feed would be that brostep song.
Any boomer would be turned off right away.
Comic fags would be turned off because it was dubstep/brostep. So it lost a big portion of the audience it was going for.
I'd never seen the trailer for it before but I think its great, maybe perhaps because I already know the movie is great.
He insisted, he the writer the director and the producer refused to make the movie if they showed his face, everyone involved was a huge 2000ad fan
that was legitimately good, not just fun. clever acting, clever enough plot, didnt just pander to people who recognized te older actors. very respectful. that william stryker guy was fun
kinda what sorta ruined suicide squad, aside from a number of things.
They could've hired any nobody actor to play deadshot, and satisfy a lot more fans by making him keep his mask on
BABOOM
that wasn't a flop, the sequel was
Allam ascended to god-tier in this movie
This was awful
My mom and brother raved about this, but I've still never seen it
youtube.com
most kino moment in film
he saw lasers n spaceships n shit
its ok, malkovich tripping on acid the whole movie is entertaining
Before its time
>No martial arts
They didn't have a clue.
I just think they needed to go even campier with the using the theme song thing. Like really go for it and do a 90second cut of the entire song, have them punch along to the lyrics and have lots of Reddit Approved Applause Moments. Reddit could have then carried it to at least 100 million more box office.
I feel like Vin Diesel is embarrassed about this series for some reason.
This is the greatest cast per lost dollar ever.
Yo if Disney backed a Remo Williams movie I bet people would watch it.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE
gattaca flopped? shame
>goldblum
>lloyd
>lithgow

It is a weird movie but good.
She was the best thing about the movie hands down.
I forgot did that nigga really shoot a white phosphorus round within the apartment complex?
No.
She made a profit
I think this was a box office loss but google isn't helpful.
dracula was horrible
cgi was overwrought
protags were great
music was great
aesthetic was great
This movie was great. If they had started with this movie instead of the piece of crap we got, the entire face of super hero movies might have changed
vampire boobs and crossbows. the dude who was the friar was decent
You must be a seriously shit googler
I'm still fucking salty.
I love this movie (aside from the fake burnout tire smoke). Probably not a flop, just under performed.
Dracula had the wrong look but that actor did a great job in the role. This movie was hugely shit on by the critics at the time, I didn't see it because it sounded like a joke, but seeing it now its almost a classic horror/adventure movie. As the guy said, way ahead of its time.
>John Cusack meets Matthew Broderick
80's protagonist kino
>Dracula had the wrong look but that actor did a great job in the role.
wtf
corniest shit I've ever seen in my life m8
I unironically love this movie and will defend it until death.
What a fucking drag. How do you fuck up so hard?? Hope they got fired
Yeah, but this did more damage: youtube.com
So is monster verse Kia?
Dude that fucking picture lololol
I think the movie was supposed to be partial parody but not everyone realized this
>bonding with your bro actually making an effort
i'm proud of you user
This one is good too
I don't think you understand how bad white phosphorus really is
What makes it good? Sell it to me
I'm so fucking ready for Gilliam finally getting Don Quixote out the door
The word you're looking for is pastiche
I show him some movies I like sometimes with mixed results, but I showed him Heat and it's his single favorite movie of all time now. feels pretty good
Jesus, I forgot that movie hasn't had a release yet.
Shoot em up is fucking action-parody kino
also, Clive Owen is based
my favourite action movie hands down
It references or pays homage to almost every single great western movie ever made, and the train chase finale is genius. Might help to be really high.
Thanks to International Gross it didn't flop
it has, april 10 2019
this screenshot just made me realize it's a virgin vs. chad flick
This was most ultimate cringey shit. Like a big budget film school movie.
Doesn't count, it had weird issues due to WWII and is now the 23rd highest grossing film of all time when adjusting for inflation
This right here
What happened to cat posting?
when Yea Forums was drowning in GoT threads.
>the monologue where the camera is rotating around him
‘The Wolfman was kino.
How old are you? How is it incoherent? Do you know what incoherent means? How old are you? How old are you?
This was definately Kino.
>flashback within a flashback
absolutemad(wo)men
>t.capeshitter
Annihilation still makes me mad because they give you 30 minutes of pure eldritch kino, but you have to sit through an hour and a half of Syfy tier garbage beforehand. Could have been a genuine classic if they'd put more effort into the first two acts.
Speed Racer was peak kino
thanks for reminding me to rewatch this; it's been years
Under the Silver Lake
This is the true Castlevania movie in my mind.
I remember seeing the trailer for ‘Cutthroat Island’ and really really really wanting to see the film.
Then, like a year and a half later or more,
the film comes out,
stays in theaters for like a week,
And disappears.
I had to see it on VHS, on a small tv.
To this day I’m still pissed I didn’t get to see it in theater.
Only flopped because people said "ugh theyre remaking that shitty stallone movie again" anyone whos seen it can tell you its fantastic.
It's basically a Castlevania movie and better than any movie that actually bears Castlevania's name. With a few tweaks or waiting a couple of years it would be held pretty highly
Cringe, but redpilled.
Thts why I skipped it, but a friend made me watch it months later. Luckily I still got to see it on the big screen after that
The soundtrack alone is kino.
Was this really considered a flop? Made 16m on a 2m budget.
>so are you just a pussy with a gun in your hand?
>no i'm a gun with a pussy in my hand
love this flick
Can we please talk about Solarbabies?
Mr Calhoon, Mr Calhoon
>I feel like Vin Diesel is embarrassed about this series for some reason.
Riddick was literally based on a Dungeons & Dragons character that Vin played in high school.
My dad took us all to see John Carter, because it was basically the story of his favourite book when he was a kid. Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Tarzan on Mars". It was so funny to see my father so excited about some film when he rarely gets stoked about anything. Based boomers.
I began to love it too and was pretty perplexed when found out how it had flopped.
Captain Ron
top stuff. that fucking scene where hes booby trapping the warehouse and the security guard sipping coffee loudly pisses him off.
Synecdoche, New York
‘Virtuosity’
Shoot 'Em Up came out around the same time as Crank, but I thought Shoot 'Em Up was much better.
I was surprised how good this actually was.
Oh hey I watched that youtube video. Was that you? The tryhard shill who tried to convince people that That movie was some kind of great happening in film? It was alright, wasn't terrible, nothing to write home about.
Excellent.
I like the pony tail kill
Was just about to post this
Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel
I saw the director at a panel at Comic Con back in the day talk about what a saga it was to make that movie. He talked about trying to get it made for years and how he basically drew an entire flipbook of a scene of the movie (I think it was like thousands of drawings) to pitch the idea. He seemed so genuinely happy about how it all finally came together. They showed a scene from the movie and all the nerds there flipped out. I thought it was pretty stupid and something only like a 12 year old would like, but whatever.
Then of course it flopped and it disappeared from the public conscious forever and that dude has basically never worked again. Really sucks for him.
Bad Times at the El Royale
Coherence
(one of those flicks you need to watch a youtube vid afterward to figure some details out)
It was a terrible, terrible movie
this is a terrible, terrible post
kek
coherence was fucking great, but was it a flop? it's budget was like 50k$
I watched this, i remember it being good, but other than that i forgot it.
Time Lapse
I liked this
Nicholas Brendon (Xander from Buffy) is in it. Wonder what the real budget was (in coke and other party favors).
These were both fucking amazing and deserve all of the hype they didn't get (until it was already far too late).
Uma Thurman is insanely hot in this
Haha my bio teacher showed me this movie. Thanks Ms Llanes!
$2 mil was just the production budget. I think when you factor in marketing and the $10 mil the studio paid for distribution rights it definitely lost them money
I have no idea how much this cost since it was pretty much all out of pocket for the director, but there's no fucking way it made its budget back.
Shut the fuck up. It's an adaptation.
>OH NO COUNTRY BEARS HALL HAS BEEN CRUSHED!
The Triangle
The constant generals make me hate this movie
Absolutely
Good monster rampages and cinematography as you say, but everything that isn't that was forgettable as fuck.
>budget 30mil
>US Gross 2.3mil
yea i'd say it flopped, great film tho
>Starring Elizabeth "Sticki my Dicki in" Debicki.
I will watch it for that.

Any Terrence Malick film. I think he is an arthouse money laundering operation.
Song to Song is good tho
I fucked the red one.
Absolute kino
Made a little more than its budget but just didn't seem to get a ton of attention
one of the worst big budget movies ever made
>32m budget
>31.9m box office
absolutely unjust
It got press at the time, but was forgotten.

This movie was awesome
gotta consider some laundering in all those hollywood numbers
It's still famous for the car chase
Punch Drunk Love
slapkino
The El Royale hotel was a custom built set but I get what you are saying. None of the official numbers are 100% accurate.
I like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Brainlet.
Fucking based
Is there a name for that kind of mask?
Not sure why this movie isn't more popular. I want to say it was pretty popular on the DVD and cable market in the years after it came out, but I think it's been pretty forgotten (other than for the car chases).
Kind of feel like people thought it was a retread of Mission Impossible, which was popular for years after it came out, and no one bought Robert De Niro as an "action star."
Real bummer, because it's a well-made, well-written movie with a ton of good actors.
Tarsem Singh Kino.
Tarsem still directs movies including a recent one,’Self/less’ starting Ruan Reynolds, so not all bad for the director.
This movie could have been directed by Gaspar Noe and I would believe it.
You retards need to stop shilling that flick. It needed 30 minutes cut from its runtime.
dunno if they were "flops", but Jack Reacher and Scott Pilgrim are both in my top 5. I think hulk (2004) was a LOT better than people give it credit for. Spider Man 3 as well.
probably the best example
I haven't seen it since I was a kid, but I remember thinking it was just a good all around movie. Critics hate carpenter for some reason.
legit good movie
it flopped?
that was an awful movie
>the twist on one of the most well known twist ever
>the twist about the twist wrapping back around to being faithful
I really enjoyed that.
Nah. the director's cut is a pretty decent watch. it's ambitious enough for me to forgive some of its shortcomings. It's just a kitchen sink approach which dazzles people and prevents them from really getting what's going on. Isaac's performance is god tier. Fight scenes are great. Girls are beauteous. But Snyder being the sad cunt that he is, managed to make a movie that would piss off absolutely everyone.
Like looking at hot girls kicking ass? well so does the filmmaker, but he also feels guilty about it so the movie will trash you for doing it.
Like female empowerment? well so does the filmmaker, but he also recognizes that it's basically just a fraudulent concept and women will always be victims except in their own imaginations so that's what the movie shows.
Like fantasy? well so does the filmmaker, but he's also obsessed with fantasy as a meta thing so he's not just going to make a fantasy movie
Like the real world? too bad, the filmmaker thinks it fucking sucks!
Like rape? yeah you do, you naughty slick dicked fuck
He basically couldn't have alienated a higher percentage of his audience if he tried.
This movie + LSD = ???
it was two aging actors trying to portray badass sociopathic secret agent types in a story where the protagonists and antagonists are all bad guys
Did this really flop?
Weird yet boring movie
My childhood :')
that's actually pretty based and red pilled

God, I gotta get off.
You're even scarier than the movie and you don't even realize it.
no, sorry, we're busy talking about other movies
>"Tarzan on Mars"
It's funny how often that gets repeated. Burroughs actually created Carter years before Tarzan.
imagine being this intelligent.
lynch is a hack. change my mind

Factual and Mousepilled
Only incel freaks will attempt to refute this
Lynch may be a Hack, but ‘Dune’ was Kino.
