The reason "It's a Wonderful Life" is such a treasured classic nowadays is because when it originally was released, it flopped so hard that after 20 some-odd years later, when the rights to the film became available, nobody wanted to purchase it; thus it went into the public domain. As a result of this, many low budget local television networks began airing it late night, around the holidays, to fill airtime without having to pay anything. Families looking for something to watch on TV, during a time where most people had 3 or 4 channels, began tuning in to this movie; and because it was always on around the holidays, it turned into a beloved annual tradition.

1979’s “Meteor” should have been on here. It had an all-star cast, cheesy looking special effects and a low box office gross that sank one of the great independent studios in American International.

Well the problem with "Heaven' Gate" was that the people who financed it were too stupid to realize that "The Deer Hunter" stunk too.

The only reason It’s a Wonderful Life became a Christmas classic is because it was free to show, so the TV channels started showing it nonstop around Christmas.

When I got a new job, as was wont to happen, they gave me a nickname. I was "spaceman". I endured that name until we got a new employee and we gave him the name "Astro Boy". Every time I hear about Astro Boy it reminds me of those long gone days.

Another thing that hurt Titan AE was that at the time, Fox was having a dispute with one of the big theater chains (I forget which one, not Regal or AMC, but they were partially owned by Paramount). That chain would only show a limited number of Fox releases each year. That summer, some markets got Titan AE, others got Big Momma's House. Fox did a big advertising push for Titan, but the film's limited availability in places did nothing to help its numbers. Big Momma's House, on the other hand, did quite well. I like Geena Davis, but it think Cutthroat Island would have faired a little better in the hands of another lead.

One of the problems of the final fantasy spirits within it's not final fantasy, most game fans were also probably thrown off as well

Many of these films I've actually seen, some in theaters but mostly on home video/VOD or a discount theater. The biggest issue is getting enough people to pay full price for a first-run big screen presentation. For some reason or another, audiences simply didn't feel the urgency. Heaven's Gate could have been divided into a trilogy - they certainly had enough footage to do so! It would have at least made UA their money back. But that strategy would have been unthinkable at the time.

Balto (1995) - Amblimation Although the film has gained a sizable cult following on home video and DVD, “Balto” was not a critical and commercial success upon its theatrical release. It didn’t help that the film came out A MONTH AFTER Pixar’s “Toy Story”. It was pulled from theaters after its third week, and Amblimation (an animation production arm of Steven Spielberg’s “Amblin Entertainment”) was shut down after only three films (the other two were “An American Tail: Fievel Goes West” and “We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story”). The good news is that a lot of the animators who worked on that film would go on to work at “DreamWorks Animation” (an animation subsidiary of Spielberg’s other production company “DreamWorks Pictures”).
