10 Movies Everybody Wanted (But Nobody Watched)

Robert Rodriguez's adaptation of Miller's legendary graphic novel Sin City was a massive critical and commercial success back in 2005, enough that a sequel seemed inevitable.

And though Rodriguez quickly got to work putting Sin City 2 together, the project was repeatedly delayed enough that it wasn't finally released until the summer of 2014, a whole nine years later.

Against a $65 million budget, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For made just $39.4 million - not even 25% of the original's $160 million haul.

It was a catastrophic result for a film that frequently landed on lists of most anticipated movie sequels, but that ultimately took too damn long to get made.

Sin City's stylistic innovations no longer seemed cutting edge in 2014, which in conjunction with the sequel's inferior script and reshuffled cast seemingly turned audiences off.

Had Sin City 2 been made within, say, three years of the original's release, things might've turned out quite differently.
