IMDb lists it as number ten for the year, domestic box office. Top ten is usually considered successful, though you may have higher standards!

Fleet Admiral
John Carter.
What's a good website for finding any movie's box office take?
I tried IMDB for one I figure was an epic flop, but it didn't have any info in that area.

I had tried both of those, Evil Alien Conquerors isn't listed on boxofficemojo & only little info on wiki.
Must have been a historical flop to not even be listed
But hey, at least there was a DVD for me to buy.

John Carter was really good. Most of the movie's problems were in promoting it. And who came up with the name? Without the word "Mars" in the title somewhere, only hard-core sci-fi aficionados would associate it with Burroughs. "John Carter" sounds like a movie about your congressman.

I blame Mars Needs Moms.
I wonder how many people thought that John Carter was about Noah Wylie's character from ER?
Looked up "Evil Alien Conquerors" on IMDB, it sounds pretty freaking great.
It's one of many many cheesy and/or stupid movies in my DVD collection.
Croker is the best part. He was basically a giant on his own world, then when he was transported to Earth he became normal sized, but keeps rating on about how huge he is and how he will crush the others under his mighty foot.
It looks like it went direct to DVD or debuted on TV in most territories - hence no box office data.I had tried both of those, Evil Alien Conquerors isn't listed on boxofficemojo & only little info on wiki.

It seems the movie "Need For Speed" that's in theaters now may be flopping in the US. Which is a damned shame, because it's a great action flick. Best car sequiences for many a years, way better than anything Fast & The Furious has ever churned out, and it's actually filmed FOR REAL most of the time. So yeah, it's on my list probably since most likely is going to be remembered as a bomb.
Nice list, sir!
Mine would have:
The X-Files: I Want to Believe -- It wasn't a perfect movie, but it's not as bad as others thought it was imo. Well worth seeing in theaters and at home.
Donnie Darko
Robin Hood: Men in Tights -- Same as Meet Joe Black.
Titan: AE -- Really enjoyed this one and never understood why it didn't do good in theatres.
Meet Joe Black -- Love this one and could watch it over and over again.
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
Just wanted add my to Titan: AE. I thought that was really good.
I've hardly ever met anyone who has seen Dragonfly. My wife and I saw it in the theater. I was crying so hard at the end my glasses fogged up!
Great film, completely overlooked for some reason.

I just noticed another one of my favorite DVD's was a flop.
U.H.F.
It only made a million more than it cost to make.
