> [@](#): > > **Loved by critics, bombed at the box office** 1. Ad Astra 2. Citizen Kane 3. Heathers _Initially_ bombed at the box office, but after word-of-mouth spread, it became a hit about two years after its initial release. I saw it in the theater when it first came out, and was one of three people; two years later, the art house where I worked sold out a three-show run of it. ---
