19. Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049 was a visual marvel but failed to regain its $150 million budget, earning $276 million at the box office worldwide, making $92 million in domestic box office sales. While praised for its cinematography and narrative, the movie's slow pace and niche appeal alienated mass audiences. Critics pointed out that its marketing failed to attract the younger audience that was not familiar with the original. It did not monetarily succeed; however, it has qualified to be regarded as a modern sci-fi classic, with the critical success proving that artistic triumphs don't always ensure financial success.
