10 Movies Everybody Wanted (But Nobody Watched)

Everyone wanted Sin City 2, but nobody turned up for it.

I don't care what anyone says Dredd was awesome and they should do a sequel with Karl Urban of course

[johnshadwick]

Scott Pilgrim was amazing. The cast was full of future stars and the fight scenes were creative and very well done.

[bawintermage]

Serenity was actually very good, it was just sad with no place to go forward.

[DJMarcO]

Karl Urban's "Dredd" was freakin' amazing. Visually stunning. A fantastic "one shot" style movie.

Idk, I went and saw Watchmen on opening weekend and the theatre was packed, so somebody wanted it and went to see it at least that day lol

[morningcoffee]

I saw Blade Runner 2049, Watchmen in the cinema and have both in Blu-ray. Love those movies to bits

Serenity is Awesome!! 😎 😎 Just watched this in a room full of people. Two of us knew what it was, the rest said, "How did I miss this? When did this come out?!" 😁 They loved it.

The repeated phrase in this video, "became hits on home video, " is telling. It suggests that 1) the movies were watched, just not in movie theatres; 2) movie theatres are not always the best place to consume movies. That is not a bad thing, but is something that studios should get used to and adapt to.

6:34 The way the studio and producers marketed ‘Serenity’ was a problem as well. The studio did too many fan screenings, most of which were free, so that by the time it was released most of the fans that really wanted to see had seen it before it was released. If the studio had only done one or two screenings most of the fans would have spent money to see it and have brought their friends and family with them gain the film more money. It was almost like the film was made to fail or that the studio tried to hard to make the film a success that they didn’t see that they hurt themselves in the process.

I haven't watched the list yet, but my group and I saw Watchmen in theaters, and we all loved it. It was crazy for its time. I also own it on Blu-ray. Underrated movie and doesn't deserve the hate it gets. If anything, it's not celebrated enough.

Watchmen was a huge success. Looking back now, I think it was and is still a masterpiece.

[captaingroot]

Really reaching on the “everybody wanted” on most of these films. While they mostly all had a fan base that wanted them, I wouldn’t say they were a large fan base.

[markprior]

Serenity was such a good movie it should have been huge.

[francoisleveille]

I went to the theater to see B-R 2049 when it came out and then bought the 4K HDR BluRay. The fact it was slow paced is precisely what me and my friends liked about this movie.

[annmarie]

I had zero desire to see Snakes on a Plane, but a friend was like if you go with me I’ll buy your ticket so I went opening weekend at like 10 at night. The theater was full of drunk college students and the experience was HILARIOUS. People were ruckus and cheering. I haven’t never watched it since as there was no way it would top that experience 😂😂

[buddah]

both Dredd and Serenity are amazingly well made films. Serenity was a genuine love letter to the fans of Firefly but not as accessible to wider audiences to be wildly successful, and Dredd was extremely faithful to the character while be more grounded and gritty than the comics but had absolutely horrible marketing.

[patrickbrander]

No one wanted a fourth matrix movie. No one.

[chug]

The sole reason I didnt go to see Dredd in the cinema was that there was no 2D showings in my area

[getnohappy]

That Dredd was exclusively released in 3D didn't help

[Dkirchner]

Okay, since Watchmen is the still shot, here’s the deal: not only did I see it in theaters the day it came out, I bought the DVD, upgraded to the Blu-ray a few years later, and now have the 4k ultimate director’s cut. So… I don’t know. People love it.
