10 Sci-Fi Fails from the 2000s That Became Fan Favorites
Any real movie fan knows that the box office numbers that producers try so hard to beat don't really mean anything. Sure, it's nice for the production crew and producers to see their movie make a ton of money and make everyone rich and happy, but it's not really something that's required for the movie to be considered good. After all, almost all of the great European films that critics and fans are swearing by in 2024 are commercial failures.
And sadly, movies that bombed at the box office used to be trashed on all fronts so much that the public forgot all about them just months after their release. And of all the genres, sci-fi was the most unlucky in the 2000s, with many great films failing to make an impression because of their status as flops.
Here are 10 sci-fi flops from the 2000s that became fan favorites:
Yes, you probably never heard of the above mentioned movies, and even if you did, you probably refused to check them out after hearing about their mediocre critical reception and poor box office results.
