Animated Box Office Flops That Deserved To Be Hits

Prison

The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Great Escape, and Cool Hand Luke are the most revered and popular films set inside prisons. If you've seen all of them yet still crave a good story set in the Big House, check out one of the following underrated prison movies. Some are little-known titles, others movies that got noticed upon their original release, only to see their status fade over time. All of them are guaranteed to absorb you.What makes people want to spend time watching films about prisons and penitentiaries? Most likely it's because none of us would want to spend time in such places. Viewing movies about them allows us to vicariously face things that would terrify us in real life. Jails are inherently dramatic locations, anyway, where riots, hostage situations, and occasional abuses of authority occur. These underrated examples of prison cinema utilize those elements and more to give audiences a potent experience.

Superhero films dominate modern cinema, with Marvel and DC properties regularly breaking box office records and reshaping Hollywood's approach to franchise filmmaking. But before Black Panther earned its Oscar nominations and The Dark Knight redefined what comic book movies could achieve, the genre weathered some spectacular failures. From early attempts like George Reeves' Superman and the Mole Men to recent misfires like Wonder Woman 1984, the superhero genre has produced some of cinema's most notorious disasters.These films represent more than just poor box office performance or critical rejection - they mark pivotal moments where studios fundamentally misunderstood their source material. Whether through severe budget constraints, troubled productions, or simple creative incompetence, these adaptations failed their comic book origins in spectacular fashion. From direct-to-video obscurities to big-budget catastrophes that derailed entire franchises, this collection of cape-wearing calamities serves as a reminder that even Batman, Superman, and their superpowered peers aren't immune to cinematic kryptonite.The following films stand as cautionary tales for future filmmakers, proving that neither star power nor iconic characters can save a superhero film from itself. From pre-MCU experiments to modern streaming disappointments, these movies demonstrate how not to bring <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/superheroes-ranked-by-most-comic-book-appearances/ranker-comics?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book heroes</a> to life.
