The King of Comedy (1982)

Budget: $19 million

Gross: $2.5 million

This incredible dark comedy from Martin Scorsese completely failed to find an audience during its release, but in retrospect, making a movie this uncomfortable and putting Jerry Lewis front and center was probably a bit much at the time. Nowadays, it’s hailed as a classic, with so much reach that it’s one of the inspirations for the movie Joker coming out later this year.
