By all accounts, these 10 great films by some of the best directors in the world should have been box office hits, but they sadly fell short. 💰 Box office details here. 📲
Most Hollywood directors, above all, are interested in crafting a well-told story that entertains, but make no mistake about it, the box office matters. Especially in the modern cinema age when blockbusters are smashing records and earning atrociously large sums of cash, producers have higher hopes than ever that their promising investments will earn lucrative returns.If there is one thing that this collection of movies shows, it's that past success doesn't guarantee future results.
Citizen Kane - Orson Welles According to many best-of-lists, Orson Welles' debut feature Citizen Kane continues to be considered the greatest movie ever made. Mired in controversy because it satirized newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst, the movie had a limited release. With several critical and commercial successes to his name and production backing from colleague Martin Scorsese, Lee and his producers had reason to believe Clockers would be a success. Much to their disappointment, the movie couldn't capture much of an audience, coming up several million short compared to its budget.
As is common with box-office stinkers, producers re-edited the movie. The reception was luke-warm between audiences and critics, resulting in a sharp drop off in interest after the movie's opening weekend. Compared to test-screening predictions, the movie underperformed. Hugo - Martin Scorsese Giant of the American movie industry, Martin Scorsese, has directed some of the most successful and critically acclaimed movies of the past 50 years. Many of his movies draw from his Italian heritage and the tradition of moviemaking in that country, as well as dealing with mature and violent themes. As audiences and commercial demands change, Scorsese also embraced the new movie-landscape, choosing to do a 3D children's adventure movie in his 2011 release Hugo.
King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword - Guy Ritchie Guy Ritchie is famously known for his British gangster movies Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, and most recently The Gentlemen. These movies are common in genre, but also form, structured as multiple parallel narratives with quick pithy humor.
