Underrated Sci-Fi Movies That Flopped at the Box Office

From Ranker: "All great sci-fi is ahead of its time, which often makes movies in the genre fall flat before audiences are able to appreciate their visionary qualities. There are many reasons why the best sci-fi movies tend to flop at the box office. Some are victims of bad timing or botched marketing. Others are simply too inventive for audiences to fully appreciate at the time of their release. Blade Runner, for example, was panned by critics when it was released in 1982, and audiences simply didn't show up. It barely broke even. Over time, however, thanks to repeat viewings on home video, it became widely regarded as one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time."
