What movie do you wish hadn't bombed?

this thread knows what I want
Era's favorite movie, BR2049
Yeah but it should have done mainline TF money.
Also forgot The Rocketeer and Nice Guys from my list
Sorry to bump this thread but I would say Cowboys & Aliens. I just watched the movie for the first time since when it was released in 2011. I really enjoyed it. I know most ppl were turned off by the premise but I liked it allot. I think Harrison Ford did a pretty good job as one of the co leads. I also enjoyed Favreaus direction. The movie made only 175 million on a 165 million budget so it bombed pretty hard
Grindhouse. It was such a great theater experience. I wish there were sequels. There are so many directors I would love to see take a crack at that format. I also just genuinely love Death Proof, which most people seem to hate.
Not sure if I posted already since I'm too lazy to check but I'm gonna say John Carter. I left theaters with it on my mind and excited for the sequel. Then I saw what it did opening weekend and :(
Fantasia. I searched every page and I can't believe I'm the first to mention this.
It's my favorite film of all time, and it breaks my heart that it nearly killed Disney, and as a result, I'm convinced forever changed the trajectory of animation during its early, pivotal years. I can only imagine how much more ambitious and varied animated films would've been throughout the decades if that film had taken off.

Tron Legacy of course. It still is my go to movie for home theater projection and sound quality.
Ghostbusters 2016. It's not my favorite but dammit do I love Holtzmann. Ugh, I wish it was better and I wish it was given a chance.
Did it bomb? i wanted a sequel so badly, even a prequel with Danson and Highsmith.
I agree. John Carter is such an underrated movie. I also wish warcraft got a sequel. I quite enjoyed it
Blade Runner 2049
...but to be honest, i'm not sure how a sequel would work out for it.
I love BR for the detective and mystery thing, but if it's just Deckard on the run, it wouldn't really be what I'm looking for.

Justice league
I liked that movie, hell I liked Batfleck, Henry cavil as Superman etc. Movie ended in a good note too, shame that it bomb'd and Batfleck is no more, and Henry cavil's Superman is over just as it was getting good.
Now the DCEU continuity is fucked T_T

I'd love to say Star Trek Nemesis but it was such a poorly crafted movie it got what it deserved at the expense of the franchise.
So Serenity
So Serenity
Tbh I thought it was going to crater so hard it'd kill any chance of a video game adaptation of that scope again... I'm thankful it came out even if not a little in the black.
On topic: I wish Mad Max had done $1billy so we'd be getting a franchise w/ Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron helmed by George Miller.

It was a miracle it got made with that budget, so I'm counting my blessings at this point...
Movie was great trashy fun and I still don't get all the bad reviews
Blade Runner 2049
No thanks to all of that
You have to specify which Serentiy now
Same here. The reviews were kind of in the back of my mind (and lowered my expectations) throughout the film. Kept waiting for it to get bad, or for me to hate it and it never happened. Have no idea how it at least did not score around 2014 or Skull Island. I actually preferred it over both of those, and I loved Skull Island.
If it makes you feel any better Alex Garland wrote the movie before any of the sequels were ever released and never intended to adapt either of them.

The movie alone is fantastic, I don't blame him for having a more realistic scope.
Solo. I thought the movie itself was only fair, but I like where it ended and I'd love to see more of the underworld and Maul's power grab at building up his underworld empire to get his revenge on Palpatine.
I also hate how its failure gave fodder to alt-right you tubers as evidence that Star Wars is a failing brand.

Power Rangers reboot felt like something that really had potential. Shame we won't ever get a sequel.
Blade Runner 2049
Miami Vice from 2006. It had a great look. It had a great cast. But, the story was erratic. Too much time was spent on a romance subplot to the point where the main plot felt like it was missing scenes. They had problems with locations because of hurricanes in Miami and the fear of violent crime in Haiti. I think a second movie could have fixed those problems and been a hit.
