What movie do you wish hadn't bombed?
- Thread starter BWoog
- Start date
Guys, as much as I enjoyed it and it reflects poorly on the market and films in general moving forward, Blade Runner 2049 bombing was at least good for the series. Blade Runner 1 stood perfectly on its own and by some minor miracle we ended up with a sequel 30 years later that sits snug and respectfully next to the original while also standing perfectly on its own. We've got these two beautiful films with nothing to tarnish it.
Imagine in some alternate reality where BR2049 was a mega-hit and we ended up getting 7 sequels to it turning the series into action mush. The GOT S8 of Blade Runner. Yuck. I ain't willing to gamble on that. Leave me with the two films we got. I'm happy.

Alien Vs Predator - they really screwed those up, could have been so good if they did it right.
Warcraft - really enjoyed it and would have liked a sequel.

Everyone saying Blade Runner 2049 is awesome, but y'all fucked up considering no one has mentioned the film BR failure negatively contributed to the most.
Annihilation.
I hope everyone saying BR saw this in theatres or day one on streaming where it didn't make it to theatres.

You didn't reply to me, but atleast I find that movie to be great. It has elements that could be better sure, but overall it's a solid first entry. That said. I really want to watch the version where they didn't cut 20 minutes right before release. Probably would have reviewed better.
I still need to watch Master and Commander, looks exactly like my kind of movie. I was a little young when it came out though so I never got around to watch it.
I wish The Nice Guys did better and glad to see people brought it up here. That movie is a gem.

I didn't realize this had bombed. That makes me sad; it's a fantastic movie.
Missing Link
So sad to see Laika failing at the box office... though I think Missing Link was a bad idea and the design of the main I think turned people off.. that nose is atrocious.
..but Kubo and Box Trolls lost money as well.. and those are awesome movies.

I wish Everything is Illuminated had done well.
I love that book and the movie was spectacular.

If whatever movie I wish didn't bomb it might change the entire course of cinematic history and create unforeseeable ripples in the space-time continuum and the whole world might descend into chaos.
So I deem that question too dangerous.
But I wish Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets did alright, that movie was really fun and is underrated and I need more space Cara Delevingne in my life

The 2012 Judge Dredd movie. Though I hear the IP owners, Rebellion, have now just bought a $100 million dollar facility in the UK and are now working on a "Mega City One" series. So this might not be dead.
Yep.
It's too bad Disney plus wasn't around when the original came out maybe they could've risked releasing it on the streaming service instead and that could've eaten up the costs. I miss Disney releasing action adventure movies like that weren't mcu or star wars films. I understand the budgets were way too high but the movies were certainly entertaining. We had Prince of Persia:Sands of Time , John Carter , and Lone Ranger. John Carter was easily the best out of the three but for me personally the movies were fun and enjoyable.
Golden Compass, John Carter. Especially Golden Compass, I really wanted more movies in that world.
Definitely an underrated film. I love it and wish we got the planned sequels
This.
For me, I'm gonna say Hellboy: The Golden Army, for fairly obvious reasons. Like BR2049, I'm delighted that it exists; unlike BR2049, I actually want a sequel to it.
I agree with this. I wish this got more sequels instead of National Treasure
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
It was like a live action Fleischer Bros Superman cartoon.

Warcraft. I didn't particularly care for it but if it had done well, we could have gotten adaptations for Warcraft 3's events. That's where the good stuff is.
It's on page one but Speed Racer.
Also Superman Returns. It didn't exactly bomb, it did better than Batman Begins IIRC at the box office, but it had previous failed attempts lumped into the budget. Would have loved to see that series version of Man Of Steel, though the potential script leaks sounded horrible so maybe it's for the best.

Warcraft
Loved how it treated magic users
Dredd
I want the continuing adventures of rookie Anderson, plus it used 3d really well.

The problem with movies like King Arthur and John Carter is that the budgets of the movies were way too high they never stood a chance 😣
Avengers: Endgame, goddamn this movie was done so well, it's such a shame we won't get ever get to Secret War or Avengers Vs. X-Men.
Warcraft
That and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", I loved the movie and wanted the whole trilogy made by Fincher with the same actors.
Final Fantasy, only because I wish we could get more mature cgi animation movies. I would have loved to have seen World of Warcraft full movie done in the cgi trailer art style.
