Some of the greatest movies in cinema history began as a box office disappointment. There are several factors that go into whether films become blockbuster hits or box office bombs. Film history has proved that some of these factors have worked against great films, resulting in a poor box office performance.

These factors could vary, such as poor marketing efforts, as seen in the case of The Iron Giant, a badly made theatrical cut like the Blade Runner theatrical cut, or unfavorable circumstances like in the case of Donnie Darko.

However, these films were lucky because the audiences gave them a second chance, and they are now considered cult classics. From Alfred Hitchcock’s classic to IMDb’s top-rated film, here are the films that were initially ruled out...

Boyz n the Hood was John Singleton's directorial debut, and it earned him an Oscar record that had been untouched for 50 years. Since its release, the movie has been recognized as one of the most significant films of the 1990s, and Boyz n the Hood is credited with having launched the careers of many of its actors. Boyz n the Hood has received numerous awards, and it currently holds a 96% critics approval rating and 93% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The coming-of-age drama explores the lives of teenage boys living in South Central Los Angeles and deals with themes of loyalty, friendship, and love. Along with various accolades for the performers and his screenplay, John Singleton's work on Boyz n the Hood earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Director, breaking a record that Orson Welles had set 50 years earlier.

Christmas-themed releases have always been a mix of movies that can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of where they are from or what religion they follow, and then movies that are for a certain kind of audience. Upon closer inspection, you’ll also notice the difference in the quality of filmmaking between these two categories of Christmas films, with one feeling timeless and the other reeking of blandness and regression. I have grown up watching stuff like Home Alone, Die Hard, Jingle All the Way, and of course, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Amongst recent releases, there are some good examples like Klaus, Anna and the Apocalypse, Krampus, and Merry Little Batman. But it seems like this snowy landscape has been hijacked by Netflix now. And the streaming platform is giving Hallmark a run for its money with garbage like the Princess Switch films, Love Hard, A Not So Merry Christmas,...

Photo by Spencer Chamberlain Wilkes-Barre is a tight knit community with a thriving hardcore scene. One of the bands proudly carrying the scene forward and gaining worldwide attention is One Step Closer, who blend myriad influences into catchy, driving and fun songs. One of those influences is anime, and guitarist Ross Thompson is constantly getting ideas, especially for merch, from everyone’s favorite medium. We chatted with Ross about their new record All You Embrace (which is out now), the impeccable drip of Initial D , the community aspect of hardcore, anime, and his hometown. You've been traveling all over North America the past few months. How has that tour been? Ross Thompson : Yeah, it's been like nonstop. Right now we're home for about two months. So it's nice to kind of shut my eyes and take a little break from One Step Closer for a minute, which is nice.

France’s Les Films du Losange, the iconic distribution company owned by producer Charles Gillibert (“Annette”), has acquired Palmeraie et Desert,” the production company founded by celebrated filmmaker Raymond Depardon.

Les Films du Losange, which was bought by Gillibert from longtime manager Margaret Menegoz in 2021, has been dedicated to preserving and promoting cinematic heritage since its inception. It will now be responsible for the editorial management and global promotion of Depardon’s films.

This year’s Cannes Film Festival is unveiling the 4K restoration of “The Declic Years” as part of Cannes Classics which marks the beginning of the company’s work on their entire body of work. This will be articulated through four cycles covering all the feature films: Reporter, Africa, Citizen, and Peasant.

“Raymond Depardon is one of the greatest contemporary directors and photographers,” said Charles Gillibert, CEO of Les Films du Losange.

Meghan McCain will not take a little time to enjoy The View anytime soon as she says she will not return to the daytime talk show.

McCain is shutting down the possibility of returning to the ABC program and says she doesn’t talk to any of the current co-hosts on-air.

“There’s not a chance in hell,” McCain told Page Six of producers ever asking her to return, even as a guest.

The political commentator also acknowledged that she doesn’t want to do it either, adding, “I’ve had kids since then. I really like my life right now and I feel like it’s taken me a long time to sort of get to a place where people are seeing me as more serious.”

The sitcom “Girls5eva” follows the attempted comeback of a fictional girl group that peaked in the early 2000s, now reunited as middle-aged women. But headed into its third season, it’s “Girls5eva,” not just Girls5eva, that’s trying to start anew. After two critically acclaimed, if evidently little-watched, seasons on Peacock, the show has been resurrected by Netflix, which has bankrolled a fresh batch of episodes and made the entire back catalog available to its massive audience of over 260 million global subscribers — many of whom will encounter “Girls5eva” for the first time as a Netflix original.

Once upon a time, Netflix made a name for itself as a place where cult favorites could find the fan base they deserved, making its rescue of a previously canceled project a retro throwback in itself. “Arrested Development” got a second life as a poster child for the possibilities of TV’s new normal...

The 2023 Global Citizen Festival campaign has culminated in the largest commitment from any government this year to the International Fund for Agricultural Development to address the global hunger crisis, announced by Emmanuel Macron, President of France.

An unforgettable day of advocacy and action in Central Park saw landmark commitments from world leaders, philanthropists and the business community, alongside powerful performances and appearances from the biggest names in music and entertainment to advance Global Citizen’s mission to End Extreme Poverty Now, and hold to account leaders from around the world gathered in New York City for the Un General Assembly.

The flagship event from Global Citizen, the world’s leading international advocacy organization, generated a record-shattering 3.3 million actions taken by global citizens around the world, calling on governments to address the major systemic issues our world is facing, including the global hunger crisis, the climate crisis, and equity for women and girls.

Justin Trudeau is among those to have been added to the Global Citizen Now summit lineup.

The Canadian Prime Minister will be joining world leaders and activists in New York City next week to speak about some very important causes, according to Billboard.

Global Citizen Ambassador John Legend will also be making an appearance.

The star-studded event will bring together “government leaders, private sector executives, grassroots activists, cultural innovators, philanthropic experts, and leading journalists across two dynamic days to make progress on the systemic challenges our world is facing,” Billboard stated a release confirmed.

The website added, “Global Citizen Now returns this April with a dynamic, two-day program focused on turning ideas into impact. Convening the brightest minds and leading voices across all spheres of society, from world leaders to grassroots activists, Global Citizen Now showcases the power of cross-sector collaboration to solve the most urgent issues facing humanity and our planet.

This article contains spoilers for "Yellowjackets."

In the second season of "Yellowjackets," Misty Quigley (Christina Ricci) and her reluctant bestie Natalie Scatorccio (Juliette Lewis) have been separated — one friend being kidnapped by a cult will do that. So now, Misty has a new partner in (solving) crime, Walter Tattersall (Elijah Wood). They're both part of the "Citizen Detective" online forum and Walter is hot on the trail of the disappeared artist Adam Martin (Peter Gadiot).

Misty always downvotes his theories — for good reason, because Shauna (Melanie Lynskey), another of her semi-friends, is the one who killed Adam. Misty even helped her clean up the crime scene back in season 1. However, Walter is a longtime admirer of "AfricanGrey" and when Misty turns to the forum for help in finding Natalie, he orchestrates an in-person meeting between them — both of them show up to it having gleaned each other's real names. As of the most recent episode,...

New Delhi, Feb 27 (Ians) The drive to eliminate sickle-cell disease is a multi-sectoral mission leveraging community mobilization and stakeholder collaboration, Niti Aayog’s Member, Health, Dr V.K. Paul said on Monday.

Addressing the Post Budget Webinar ‘Leaving No Citizen Behind’, he said that elimination of the disease is an integral part of achieving the holistic vision of health for all in India.

We need to make this as Jan Andolan to reach the last mile,” Paul said, emphasising on the need to generate awareness of sickle-cell disease wherein “opportunity testing” is encouraged, as it would expedite treatment from those already suffering from the disease.

He also stressed on the role of Ministry of Tribal Affairs in community mobilisation and stakeholder collaboration in defining the medium and modes for reaching affected tribal areas. “It...

Star Citizen fans are upset by the latest series of update delays which once again negatively impact the already controversial development trajectory of the game.

Recently, the Star Citizen developers posted what they call a “Roadmap Roundup” which includes several delays to previously announced features and updates. Most of the delays largely focus on the technical side of the game. For instance, it seems a server to client update has been delayed as well as an update to the game’s death animations.

Some of the more substantial content delays include the removal of a PvP bounties system (which was seemingly never meant to be publicly discussed in the first place) and a delay of the release of the game’s latest world, Crusader.

There are a few problems with these delays in the minds of some Star Citizen fans. Some of the delays cause problems in and of themselves.

DC Comics' "Green Arrow" #43, available August 1, 2018, is written by Julie Benson, Shawna Benson and illustrated by Javi Fernandez, with covers by Alex Maleev and Kaare Andrews:

"...Seattle is in for a serious shake-up when 'Green Arrow' crosses quivers with a new vigilante 'hero' dubbed the 'Citizen', who's hell-bent on exposing the corrupt and criminal one-percenters operating in the 'Emerald City'.

"'Green Arrow' initially applauds these efforts, until the Citizen turns judge, jury and executioner. Can you guess what bloviating billionaire is next on his hit list? Also, a little birdie told us that help for Oliver is on the way-but we're not singing who it is just yet..."
