@ACT_1​, I don't think budgets are relevant to the discussion.

The question is,  

Which widely seen 1990s movie*, whose initial North American release produced relatively meager ticket sales, is your favorite domestic box office dud of the decade? 

50,000+ IMDb votes (widely seen)

maximum $2.5m Domestic USA-Canada box office (domestic box office dud)

6.5+ IMDb rated (favorite)

The answer pool is designed to focus on 1990s movies that went on to achieve cult status (ie favorite domestic box office dud) and popularity (ie widely seen), despite their meager starts (ie maximum $2.5m Domestic USA-Canada box office).
