Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While gangster movies rarely fail since they don't require huge budgets , that doesn't mean there haven't been a few that bombed at the box office. The gangster genre has always held a certain allure, pulling in huge crowds with fascinating tales of crime, control, and corruption.
9 The Outfit The Outfit is based on the true story of an English tailor in Chicago - only his main customers are gangsters. The cutter inevitably gets involved in the underworld, and the film follows his fight for survival. The movie is a masterclass in building suspense, and Rylance delivers an Oscar-worthy performance. Sadly, the film made just $4 million off a budget of $5 million . However, there's an asterisk next to the box office performance.
6 Scarface The original 1932 Scarface essentially depicted the same story as the remake; the rise and fall of a renowned gangster. However, it's much different tonally and thematically from the remake, as the 1932 release is set during Prohibition-era Chicago. At the time, the violence in Scarface was daring and many audiences deemed it way too much. As a result, the movie only made $600,000 with a budget of $800,000 .
