These 51 Box Office Hits Faded Into Obscurity a Little Bit Too Soon (Boredpanda)

It's sad to see a box office giant becoming one of the many forgotten movies. It's a fate that can befall any new movie coming out of the factory that is Hollywood. A box office hit today might be shelved tomorrow, with only the hardcore fans left to watch it. There are a few reasons why a forgotten movie gets the silent treatment — the marketing and production decisions behind it.
Brilliant marketing is a common ingredient found in many box office giants. Any marketing is good marketing for box office hits. If it spreads the word — it works. Underrated movies with a great marketing strategy might shine bright with their ticket sales, but when it comes to memorability, they don't usually reach the same level. Forgettable stories and poor action sequences make them forgettable.
