What movies were big at the theaters, but in hindsight, are generally considered to be stinkers now?
Trying to counter naysayers that think Blade Runner 2049 is only as good as the box office totals.

Titanic?
Avatar?
Rush Hour?
Fast and the Furious?
Spider-Man?
ALL the Star Wars prequels?
Every Jurassic Park movie other than Jurassic Park?
Batman V. Superman was HUUUGE at the box office, but look at that.
Fury Road didn’t really become a blockbuster until it got the Oscar nom, then it returned to theaters and became a “classic.”
Blade Runner 2049 was objectively amazing form any and all perspectives. Yes, Gosling plays a quiet guy. He doesn’t always, but he did here. But the character was far from one dimensional or mute. This wasn’t “Kid” from Drive all over again.
People are idiots. I haven’t seen such an elegant film in the theater in ages.
