16 films that were unexpected successes
Did you know? Titanic Was it originally expected to be a massive flop? I certainly didn’t. Frankly, I never understood why so many films that went on to become cinematic icons were initially expected to be box office disasters. It’s surprising how often the most beloved films in history start with expectations that they won’t do well.
Since I’ve already discovered this, I decided to dig deeper and find out what other all-time favorite movies everyone thought would be huge hits at the box office – and some of which I didn’t see coming! Here are 16 movies that everyone thought would be total flops but turned out to be huge hits:
7.
guardians of the galaxy, 2014
15.
back to the future, 1985
After all this information, my perspective on these famous movies has completely changed. Clearly I didn’t appreciate it enough, and it’s time to sit down and re-watch them all and enjoy all their “record-breaking box office” glory!
