Sorcerer (1977)
Budget: $21 million
Gross: $6 million
A remake of a 1950s French movie (The Wages of Fear) might have had a chance in certain circumstances, but coming out one month after Star Wars doomed this movie’s chances of surviving at the box office. Considering the director’s pedigree (William Friedkin, director of The Exorcist, among many other films), the film has gained a large cult following.
