Classic Monsters are usually good sellers. Even with interpretation a werewolf is still a werewolf, and a vampire is still a vampire. And named monsters like Frankenstein and Dracula carry their own weight. But random sci-fi guys based on a book aren't going to do much but go on clearance as fast as they're stocked.

I would expect almost zero product from the old David Lynch film. It's never gotten to the beloved cult status of other 80s properties. And it's not a widely liked film.
