10 Awesome 2023 Movies That Didn't Deserve To Flop

10. Killers Of The Flower Moon

The fact that Killers of the Flower Moon exists at all is something to celebrate in 2023 - a 3.5-hour epic crime drama from one of the few bonafide masters of the medium, Martin Scorsese.

And to be fair to Apple, they totally knew what they were getting into when they gave Marty $200 million to make his latest masterpiece.

Apple likely never expected it to rake in hundreds of million dollars theatrically, but rather serve as promotion for the film's upcoming release on their streaming service, Apple TV+.

Apple basically has more money than God and is clearly willing to spend big to bring prestigious filmmakers to its platform.

All the same, it's a damn shame that Scorsese's new film fell off a cliff after a solid opening weekend, and it likely won't even match its budget in box office receipts.

Serious movies for adults have certainly struggled in recent years, and Killers of the Flower Moon's epic runtime surely made it so much easier for most to simply wait until it hits streaming sometime before year's end.
