For me, that was the announcement that moved arrow films from the 'our-kind' of cult film to 'the-mainstream-kind' of cult films
There is a big difference between films which performed fairly badly at the box office and where critics were less than enthused, but have become popular over time and those which were not given a worldwide theatrical release, were pretty much ignored by the mainstream press, and have found a small but devoted fan base in the decades since they were made.

Waterworld, True Romance, Pitch Black, The Frighteners, and Dune go in the first category; films like The Beyond, Macabre, and Martin go in the second.
