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.

The Avengers TV show is great, campy fun.

Another one is The Man From U.N.C.L.E. I actually really enjoyed the movie.

I was about to comment about U.N.C.L.E., I still have hopes for a sequel.

Ugh, same same same

And it looked good! So many action films are just boring in twenty shades of gray.

I saw The Avengers movie in theaters lol. I was just that obsessed with the series as a kid. The movie was a mess.

I just remember uma Thurman saying something like “call now brown cow” and it’s been stuck in my head ever since

The Mod Squad. I loved the show but that movie made me legit angry and it was the first time I debated walking out of a film; it was just that bad. Claire Danes was cock-eyed, the plot was thin, everything was shitty. Other people thought the same because it only made 15mil on a 50mil budget.

I did too and I wanted my money back.

Bewitched should be on here. The show is super campy fun for its time and I will always watch when it's on TV though it's been a while and no streaming service has it :(

I was excited for the movie but whoo boy did it suck. The casting was wrong and the plot was crap. Hopefully they never try to reboot this show because it's such a classic.

It's one of the dishonorable mentions.
