10 Films That Should Have Never Flopped At The Box Office

2. Fight Club (1999)

Budget: $63 million Box Office: $37,030,102 It's hard to imagine that director David Fincher's adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk 's nihilistic manifesto was ever anything but a hit (let alone such a box-office flop that it lead to the resignation of a top studio executive).
