The 2023 movie landscape has become known for its surprising number of box-office bombs, but these bombs later became massive Netflix hits.

That’s exactly what happened with Morbius in 2022. Plus, it’s found success in reviving interest in obscure decade-old flops like Dredd. Though a box office bomb was once considered devastating for a studio, Netflix offers movies a second chance at winning over audiences.
