Some movies that are now considered classics were box office busts upon initial release. Sometimes it takes time for people to realize a gem when they see one.
“Blade Runner,” “Shawshank Redemption,” “The Big Lebowski.”
Not all release-day duds are equal. Some had big budgets, like “Blade Runner.” Some were not supposed to be blockbusters, even if they weren’t expected to tank, like “Shawshank.” Little was expected of others, so the fact a release like “Lebowski” is remembered years later is a surprise.
Jeremiyah Love’s season? That has been a huge bust. Maybe he turns it around one day and becomes a fantasy “Blade Runner.” Jadarian Price has been just as disappointing, albeit with less hype. If he recovers, he can be a fantasy “Shawshank.”
