Not only were these movies successful in theaters worldwide, but some were made with very small budgets, and a few have even set box office records.
Movies mistakenly remembered as box office bombs can come from any source. From low-budget cult classics and franchise-ending films, to movies that failed domestically but dominated globally, there are a number of reasons why some movies are wrongly remembered as bombs. Supposed blockbusters that didn't live up to audience and studio expectations - but nonetheless fared well at the box office - belong in this category as well.
11 Warcraft Video game-based movies have a reputation for bombing at the box office, and sure enough, Warcraft grossed a paltry $47.4 million domestically. However, with Warcraft earning a total $439 million worldwide, it actually made 2.7 times its production cost of $160 million. Technically, the added $110 million cost of promotions means that Warcraft needed $450 million to break even. At the same time, its $156 million record-breaking opening in China saved Warcraft from being a flop .
8 Batman & Robin Directed by Joel Schumacher and starring George Clooney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Uma Thurman, Chris O'Donnell, and Alicia Silverstone, Batman & Robin was expected to be a huge blockbuster for Warner Bros. Instead, it was a commercial disappointment at the box office, earning $238 million against an estimated budget of $125 million, with other estimates stating that the movie eventually broke even .
4 Dick Tracy With a worldwide profit of $162.7 million against a $46 million budget, Dick Tracy is far from being a flop. At the same time, Dick Tracy ultimately failed in terms of Disney's goals for the movie, which was to establish a huge blockbuster franchise that would allow it to dominate the box office . It wasn't meant to be, but all the merchandising and marketing for the movie eventually pulled Dick Tracy from the red and made it profitable.
