Have you watched Dune (1984)?
OMG ... what a terrible movie. A real stinker. Bad writing ... even worse acting. But the special-effects were distinctive and worth seeing.
Pretty sure that short romance flicks seem to work well, at least if you want to keep in budget and make a good movie. A lot harder when you are trying to put together a complex plot, and condense it into a short few hours.

Cleopatra has to be one of the biggest flops of all time, even though it was a good movie, with a reasonable plot, as it lost $44 million dollars in production and marketing costs: Cleopatra 1963 film - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Cleopatra achieved notoriety during its production for its massive cost overruns and production troubles, which included changes in director and cast, a change of filming locale, sets that had to be constructed twice, lack of a firm shooting script, and personal scandal around its co-stars. Adjusted for inflation, it is one of the most expensive films ever made. It received mixed reviews from critics, although critics and audiences alike generally praised Taylor and Burton's performances. It was the highest grossing film of 1963, earning US $26 million ($57.7 million total), yet made a loss due to its production and marketings costs of $44 million, making it the only film ever to be the highest grossing film of the year yet to run at a loss;[4] for this, the film has been considered a moderate (but not total) box office failure. The film nearly bankrupted 20th Century Fox, though the studio would be rescued from bankruptcy, and have both its prestige and legacy restored, two years later with the release of the highly popular and acclaimed movie musical The Sound of Music. Cleopatra later won four Academy Awards, and was nominated for five more, including Best Picture (which it lost to Tom Jones).
 
All those celluloid classics, Perils of Pauline to those oldie serials of the forties, Commander Cody and the x ray men from the moon, probably on you tube. That is sad, no big theatre with a big red curtain opening not spotlights or popcorn or rushing up to the ticket booth spending your allowance, I last saw planet of the apes, THE ORIGINAL, Uncut in a movie theater (that has long since been torn down).
