From flop to cult film: This masterpiece defined an entire generation

Whether a film will be a flop or a hit is usually only decided at the box office and is difficult to predict in advance. However, 20th Century Fox did not have high hopes of success in 1999, as David Fincher’s “Fight Club” left them baffled. Who should this film be for? And how should it be promoted?

While Fincher himself hoped for a cynical, satirical marketing campaign that would be more in keeping with the film, Fox decided to focus on Brad Pitt and the fight scenes, which actually only make up a very short part of the film’s running time. This meant that the film did not appeal to the right target audience and, in fact, “Fight Club” did not perform well at the box office.

Only later, in the home cinema, did the adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk’s novel of the same name find its audience and gradually became a cult film that defined an entire generation and whose posters still decorate countless student rooms today.

That’s what “Fight Club” is about

The frustrated office worker Jack meets the dubious Tyler Durden, soon after gets out of his daily routine and founds the “Fight Club” with him. This allows the members to get an adrenaline rush through brutal fist fights.

More and more men are joining the club and enjoying the feeling of being able to go about their everyday lives feeling stronger afterwards. For Tyler, the fighting club is just the first step in a revolution and the club soon becomes a private army.
