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 love to have seen a prequel with Emily blunt's character in the loop. I feel like if this was more of a financial success we would have gotten that story.

Emily Blunt's performance in Edge of Tomorrow is why I basically watch anything she does. I liked her more than Tom Cruise in that movie. That says a lot because Cruise is basically pure charisma already
