Pulp Kitchen: A Film Podcast
EP243 | The Best Films That Flopped At The Box Office | PULP KITCHEN PODCAST
Some of the greatest films ever made were box office failures. This week, we're looking at the best films that flopped at the box office. From Fight Club and The Shawshank Redemption to Children of Men, The Big Lebowski, Donnie Darko and more. Why did these films fail? Were they badly marketed, ahead of their time, released at the wrong moment… or simply misunderstood by audiences? And what does a film's box office actually tell us about its quality? We're breaking down the biggest box office bombs, the films that found their audiences years later, and the movies that prove being a flop doesn't necessarily mean being a failure. 00:00:00 - Intro 00:08:18 - The Best Films That Flopped At The Box Office 00:54:03 - Emails 01:10:15 - Game Tickets to our pub quiz: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pulp-kit...
