12 Movies You Wrongly Thought Bombed In 2018

10. 12 Strong

12 Strong Chris Hemsworth
Lionsgate

Budget: $35 million

Box Office: $70.8 million

Don't feel bad if you've already forgotten about this Chris Hemsworth-starring war actioner released at the start of the year.

Despite being dropped in the January movie graveyard with minimal promotion, 12 Strong actually scored not-bad reviews and, to be honest, was a totally watchable action flick.

Though Warner Bros. clearly hoped that a movie starring Thor might serve up mightier box office results, it still (barely) doubled its fairly modest price tag.

The studio clearly sent this one out to die, so the fact that it slid out of bomb territory is honestly a minor miracle.
