25 Box Office Bombs That Became Comedy Classics According to 24/7Wallst.com

"To compile a list of now-classic comedies that bombed at the box office, 24/7 Tempo defined as a classic any comedy with audience scores and Tomatometer ratings of at least 75% on Rotten Tomatoes (RT), an online movie and TV review aggregator. We then drew international box office and production cost data from The Numbers, an online movie database owned by Nash Information Services, and historical theater ticket prices from the National Association of Theater Owners. We considered any film that earned less than 200% of its reported production budget to have been a flop when released. The films were then ranked based on the difference between the number of positive RT audience reviews for each film as of February 2022 and the estimated number of tickets sold worldwide for the film during its initial theatrical release. These films have more than made up, in both critical and popular acclaim, for their initial failures at the box office." - 247wallst.com
