From Jennifer's Body to The Phantom Menace, some movies can only become cult classics if they survive the initial hate from the unprepared audience.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Audiences' cinematic tastes remain unpredictable, and no one can know which movie will become an instant success and which one will be hated long after its initial release for the most bizarre reasons.
Even the most popular movies could have once been viewed as complete failures either by critics or viewers, or sometimes both. For instance, the Star Wars prequel trilogy initially failed to capture the audiences' hearts quite as swiftly as the original trilogy did, at least at first, but it did become a valued part of the epic space saga a decade later. The Star Wars movies were not the only ones that received the silent treatment in the community for a while.
Cast Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson, Natalie Portman, Jake Lloyd, Ahmed Best, Ian McDiarmid, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, Pernilla August, Frank Oz, Ray Park, Samuel L. Jackson Rating PG George Lucas' much-awaited prequel to the story of the Skywalker family, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, premiered 16 years after the last Star Wars movie, and naturally, it couldn't meet all the built-up expectations for it.
Cast Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Brandon Routh, Kieran Culkin, Aubrey Plaza, Anna Kendrick, Jason Schwartzman, Alison Pill, Brie Larson, Chris Evans, Michael Cera Rating PG-13 Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a brilliant example of Michael Cera's talent at making a weird, quirky character utterly lovable. That wasn't the consensus when the movie just premiered, as evidenced by its box office numbers — it failed to turn a profit, earning $49.3 million on an $85 million budget.
Cast Kathy Najimy, Vinessa Shaw, Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Thora Birch, Omri Katz Rating PG Hocus Pocus took three masterful actresses, Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy, and completely wasted their acting talents — or so was the initial reaction to the now-revered fantasy comedy film.
