Audiences can be a fickle bunch, but it's not always their fault.
Sometimes the timing of a film’s release is wrong, or lands at a moment where people fail to see it. Sometimes the marketing of a movie misses its mark and fails to connect. Sometimes reviews reinforce moviegoer skepticism and they decide to stay away. But sometimes, a movie is just bad, and no silk hat is going to make that pig any prettier. But that doesn’t mean those movies aren’t good -- or even great. In many cases, it merely means that their time to shine is yet to come - be it internationally, on home video, or on streaming services.
