Today, it is deemed one of the best movies of the 21st Century. It is currently available on Amazon Prime.

3. Blade Runner 

No matter how hard it is to imagine for a movie like Blade Runner to be a flop at the box office, it is indeed true that a film that received academy awards nominations and tremendous critical acclaim did not obtain the success it was worthy of.

The movie follows the world of robotic humans who have space colonies under them.

They restructured the marketing campaign designed by the director David Fincher, which might have been one of the reasons for its downfall.

Years later, the film developed a cult following pressuring the media to revisit the movie and look at it from a different perspective rather than as a generic wrestling movie. 

6. Hugo 

It is crazy that a film that obtained 11 Oscar nominations and won 5 of them was a flop at the box office. Directed by Martin Scorsese, the movie was a failure especially due to its bad marketing.
