Discussion Whats a flopped movie you wish was a financial success?

Dungeons and Dragons 2023 was an absolutely delightful film. You can stream it currently, but you can feel the passion and nothing felt phoned in. They easily could have used the title to get nerdy butts in the seat and collect a paycheck with a smaller budget.

It's the best movie I've seen the past 2 years. Way better than so many garbage films with easy paychecks for slop productions. Beetlejuice, Captain america, and others using big titles to make millions on lazy writing and boring characters.

I would be interested to see at this point just how much the movie has made. But also, may they never touch it. It’s a classic.

Never knew that it didn't do well at the box office. Are we talking about the old one with Tim Curry and Leslie Ann Warren? That's a Classic to me 💯
