10 Incredible Films That Bombed At The Box Office

Production Budget: $35 Million

Box Office Earnings: $48 Million

Daniel Day Lewis had a magnificent acting career. He was known to put everything he had into his performances. However, the decision to have his final film be about a dressmaker didn't enthuse many people, even though it was directed by the highly respected Paul Thomas Anderson.

Phantom Thread is a romance film that also delves deeply into the topic of obsession. It is focused more on characters than it is on story, which made it difficult for many people to engage with. The movie is not nearly as dull as it sounds though. Lewis is brilliant, as always, and Vicky Krieps matches his intensity in her role as Reynolds Woodcock's love interest. Leslie Manville is also remarkable as Reynold's sister and business partner.

The cinematography and the tone of the story are both beautiful and elegant. Phantom Thread is a wonderfully emotional motion picture that many people sadly missed during its time in theatres, but that doesn't mean its impact can't stretch into the future.
