Hit TV Shows That became Flop Movies; ONTD Orgional

[archersangel]

Please note; that for a movie to be considered a hit/profitable, it needs to make 3 times its budget back in the box office. So some have flopped harder than others.

I Spy made me think of Get Smart, which was more successful than I thought: it made 230 million on an 80 million budget. But that's still a flop by your standard!

I remember wanting to see The Avengers but it flopping so hard we never got the chance to go.

I actually love that silly Get Smart movie lmao

TV Avengers is amazing and cute. I guess it wouldn't work now, but I find so many 60s show so charming. Lack of big budget, and so much rampant flirting because everything was super sexy but censors made them have to use terrible puns.

I love John Steed and how he deliberately never used a gun because he was a war vet. Emma Peel is a kung fu queen!

The thing of about Avengers is that they used lack of budget to create an atmosphere.

Also Thunderbirds. But I actually liked that movie, especially as a young girl, it was fun.
