9. It Was a Total Flop
On the strength of a reported $25 million budget, The Shawshank Redemption released to a miserable opening weekend. It actually only took in $16 million during its initial theatrical run, and it only took in about $30 million more when it was given several Oscar nominations. The film’s popularity didn’t take hold until years later, in fact, when it was played on cable TV.
