What films that flopped when they came out but you saw in the theater and loved, that are now universally acclaimed or cult classics? (kbin.social)

Films that may have flopped but not because of you, because you did your part and bought a ticket.

Weird Al's UHF is hilarious and would have done well except that it came out the same weekend as a whooole bunch of other classic movies. The weekend of July 21, 1989 the other movies you could see were:

  • Ghostbusters II
  • Raiders of the Lost Ark
  • When Harry Met Sally
  • Dead Poet's Society
  • Batman
  • Lethal Weapon 2
  • Weekend at Bernie's
  • Karate Kid III
