I don't know exactly which standard the OP wants so ill just list some random movies with some comments in relation to the budget etc...
The American (2010) ; while not exactly a 'flop' it only made $67.9mil worldwide (only $35.6mil here in USA) on a $20mil budget. this movie is also within my Top 20 movies and is THE lowest rated movie on IMDb, based on average score(i.e. 6.3/10 average), that I score a 9/10 or higher. I gave it a 9/10.
on it's Wikipedia page it says...
I am glad it's not your typical dime-a-dozen action movie as it's more of a character study and the atmosphere/tone of the movie really helps sell it along with Clooney not playing his usual suave self as I like his more paranoid type of character in this one. in fact, if you count it as a hitman/assassin type of movie it would be my #1 of the genre. it grew stronger for me on re-watches as time passed.
p.s. they should have made Hitman (2007) etc more like The American (2010) as that type of character/mood fits the Hitman world better than what we got with Hitman (2007) which is basically a action movie variation.
but to list some others...
-Assassins (1995) ; $50mil budget and made only $30mil according to Boxofficemojo.
-The Lone Ranger (2013) ; $215mil budget and did $260.5mil worldwide. I think this is considered a flop but it beats most blockbuster movies comfortably.
etc etc. I could probably list more but taking a fairly quick look through My Favorite Movies these are what I came up with for now.

John Carpenter's The Thing Agreed! Same here! I love and own John Carpenter's The Thing on DVD. But Krull was the first movie that came to my mind, probably because it has an active quote thread at the moment. Although come to think of it, both films have Movie Quote/ Star Trek: TOS threads.

Sorcerer - Friedkin (one of the most amazing films I've ever seen, better than the source material, Wages of Fear in my opinion)
The Postman - Costner's other huge flop besides Waterworld. I like both of them, but Postman is more interesting

...And Blade Runner 2049 too.
I guess no one gives a shit about the more cerebral sci-fi movie.
