Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Huge loss in cinema, big win when it get out in DVD. It make so little money that universal changed how they write movies after that

It was kind of the last in a long line of Universal movies that bombed at the box office and then went on to become cult classics after home video release.

My four favorites, in roughly five year increments:

Tremors Mallrats Josie and the Pussycats Scott Pilgrim vs the World

I am so, so glad that it has found cult classic status. It's one of my absolute favourite films.
