Historical epics like Gladiator and Troy have performed well at the box office, but there are many great entries to the genre that flopped.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Historical epics have been extremely successful for Hollywood in the past, but there are many great entries to the genre that are considered box office flops. Films that typically perform well are family-friendly adventure movies. Many of the highest-grossing films ever are animation or superhero films, meaning pulling off a commercially successful historical epic is a steep challenge.
8 Master And Commander Budget: $150 Million, Box Office: $211 Million Master and Commander is another Gladiator followup that shockingly flopped, as Russell Crowe returns to the historical genre with director Peter Weir for a fantastic film on the high seas. The 2003 classic sees Crowe as an 1800s ship captain tasked with hunting and capturing a French vessel during the Napoleonic wars.
6 The Northman Budget: $65 Million, Box Office: $69.6 Million Close Robert Eggers has quickly become one of the most exciting up-and-coming directors in film, with The Witch and The Lighthouse being widely acclaimed. Eggers brought his unique tone and style to a tale of Viking revenge. Unfortunately, The Northman became 2022's biggest box office injustice despite a star-studded cast headlined by Alexander Skarsgård, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Nicole Kidman.
4 Marie Antoinette Budget: $40 Million, Box Office: $60.9 Million Marie Antoinette is one of Sofia Coppola's best films, but it's also her biggest and one of the most risky in her filmography. Following the life of the titular young woman and ill-fated French queen, Marie Antoinette leans more into being stylistic than historically accurate, with lavish costuming and set design mixing with modern music.
