The Wizard of Oz (1939)
You might not believe it, but the 1939 classic, The Wizard of Oz, was originally an absolute flop. The people at MGM could not understand why their cinematic fairytale was so poorly received, resulting in losses of $1.1 million. When adjusted for inflation, this figure comes to around $15 million. A decade later the movie made a comeback, however, securing its place in the Hollywood hall of fame. Then, in 1956, it was rereleased once more, becoming even more popular.

The 13th Warrior (1999)
To be honest, we really love this movie. Too bad so many others did not, as this film would result in the catastrophic loss of almost $129 million. The iconic Omar Sharif was so disheartened by 13th Warrior’s abysmal reception that he took a three-year sabbatical from acting.
