Favorite movies that bombed in theaters?
With all this talk about this years' summer (2016) bombs I thought this would be an interesting question.
Most recently for me: The Nice Guys
I know there are many others that I'm sure this thread will uncover...

I saw this in theaters in the summer of 1990 with a few buddies, and couldn't believe people weren't raving about this movie. We laughed so damn hard, even at the subtle, most understated bits in the movie. A brilliant comedy."Nobody does this to Russ Crane... nobody does this to MRS. Russ Crane!!"

Dark City and Fight Club
Mulholland Drive didn't break even in theaters either so that too.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Although I love the movie, I think it deserved to bomb since it was advertised to the wrong people as something it was not.
Not sure if it was a certified bomb or not, but I remember seeing Ed Wood opening night and there only being three other people in this enormous theatre.

Dark City
Fight Club
Strange Days
Ronin-under performed is more like it
Lawless
Hardcore Henry
The Nice Guys
Man on the Moon
Don't know if I can put Pacific Rim on the list, since it's getting a sequel and was turned into a hit by overseas $$$.

I was going to post this...that movie has aged very well. It's one of Lynch's best, although it was panned at the time. I saw it THREE times in the theater.

I am not totally sure you can say 5th Element bombed (made $63 million domestically), but that is not exactly a huge hit. Adjusted that is nearly $100 million. I guess I felt it just didn't get the credit it deserved back then.
