Box office flops that deserve a sequel

the first that comes to mind is john carter. it suffered from poor marketing but the movie is pretty decent and the ending sets up a sequel perfectly.

my second choice would be dredd

I'm going to agree with both. I liked both of those movies.

Dredd.

Supertouch better start explaining this shit ASAP.

Surf Nazis Must Die.
Nude Nuns With Big Guns.

Hard Rain
Sphere
3000 Miles to Graceland
Event Horizon

There's a few that didn't deserve to be bombs but wouldn't qualify as "sequel worthy"

Can't have Rad without...



But for reals, according to this listhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_box_office_bombsI'd say nothing.

Good find Mala. Can't believe Strange Days bombed, I thought that was an awesome movie. Wouldn't mind seeing more. Others like The Majestic just seems a travesty that they bombed, but it's certainly not in need of a sequel.

Top Gun 2. Instead of homoerotic volleyball we can have homoerotic drone piloting. Replace Russian with Chinese... and... the plot, "In the year 2016, naval aviator "Iceman" is lost over *those contested-Japan-China-islands* Tensions are high. Mounting a rescue mission, Maverick leads a combat air patrol over contested air space.

John Carter was rubbish. It should have been 2 hours of the scene where he dove in to the army with the two swords. That shit was baller time.

Passion of the Christ

Battlefield Earth, the Travolta Strikes Back. More scientologists, more everything

Dune.

Although the Sci Fi miniseries was better in a lot of ways, but that wasn't a "box office flop" so whichever.

I'm sure anyone tasked with a Dune chronicles film for Hollywood today would shit all over it in some manner though so maybe its best left to those two adaptations. Or maybe another miniseries would be the way to go. HBO this time!

what was that one movie where a kid had a dirtbike that had a mind of its own, damn that was a good fucking movie.
