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.

If they had just called it "John Carter of Mars" it would have at least communicated a major plot point. It was a really ambitious attempt to reboot a classic science fiction novel, but since nobody remembered what Barsoom was they were at a disadvantage.
