A cult movie is a movie that has a cult following. It's not a movie that flopped but was really enjoyed by the people who saw it.
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

A cult film or cult movie , also commonly referred to as a cult classic , is a film that has acquired a cult following. Cult films are known for their dedicated, passionate fanbase which forms an elaborate subculture, members of which engage in repeated viewings, dialogue-quoting, and audience participation. Inclusive definitions allow for major studio productions, especially box-office bombs, while exclusive definitions focus more on obscure, transgressive films shunned by the mainstream.

Yep. Even if you use the definition of cult film as "film with a loyal following", Avatar left very little cultural impact and has almost zero following, even compared to Titanic.

It's a movie with a fanbase that has at some point stormed the Dolby to try and overturn the Oscars results.

You know anyone can edit Wiki, right?

It isnt a solid source of info, just base level.

I know that. But do you really see people cosplaying a victims of the holocaust and going to see Schindler's list? Mass viewings infront of a roaring crowd?

Its odd its on there to begin with, and other films like lala land make no friggin sense what so ever.

or friggin zodiac??

A mainstream film is one liked by many. A cult film is one loved by few.

Wikipedia is utter trash. A very biased site that locks pages all the time.
