Donnie Darko
Budget: $6,000,000
Box office earnings: $2,962,988
An unsettling and unique debut by Richard Kelly, this movie deserved to be a way bigger hit than it was but it only ended up running in cinemas for about 28 days. Home video sales and word-of-mouth turned it into a cult hit but Box Office sales were cold, given that the movie features a pretty prominent plane crash storyline and the film came out around one month after the 9/11 tragedy.
Scientific research shows that humans learn at the age of 18 month that not everybody likes the things and thinks like they do;
it also shows that people who call other eople stupid over a movie they like, are more likely to have a small penis, and live in their mums basement
