10 Movies Everyone Wanted (But Nobody Went To See)

10. Hugo

What can you say about Martin Scorsese that hasn't already been said?

He's one of the most famous film directors of all time. Through movies like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and The Departed, Scorsese's become one of the most iconic and important figures in all of cinema.

Also, he once played a puffer fish in Shark Tale.

Maybe this was where Scorsese first developed an interest in making family films, eventually leading to his 2011 outing Hugo.

Based on the popular book The Invention of Hugo Cabret, this movie was Scorsese's first aimed at a family audience. The film world was abuzz with discussion around how this champion of mob violence and brutality would handle a less mature subject matter.

Despite all this intrigue, Hugo completely bombed at the box office. It made £185.8 million on a £150 million budget, falling far below expectations. Today, it's mostly known as Scorsese's failed attempted at a children's film.

Did the disastrous financial results of Hugo put the acclaimed director off PG projects? Well, the next picture he made was The Wolf of Wall Street, so what do you think?
