So says The Hollywood Reporter, Raiders of the Lost Ark was in 18th place. was eighth place and the Richard Donner-directed and Spielberg-produced The Goonies was in tenth place.įor what it’s worth, the others were The Invisible Man, Trolls: World Tour, The Hunt, the new horror flick Followed ($127,231 in 42 theaters), and Jumanji: The Next Level. Jurassic Park and Jaws were the two top-ranked flicks last weekend, while the Robert Zemeckis-directed and Spielberg-produced Back to the Future was sixth place, Spielberg’s E.T. Yes, this is pure trivia, absurd trivia no less, but it’s worth noting that, judging by the top-ten at the moment, Steven Spielberg is somewhat reclaiming his crown as the king of summer. Those reissues were, respectively, 17 years and 20 years apart. Think the 3-D reissue of The Lion King ($32 million in September of 1994 toward a $94 million cume) and the blockbuster release of Star Wars: Special Edition (a $36 million opening in January of 1997 and a $138 million cume, enough to push Star Wars past E.T. There have been more recent reissues that topped the box office during “normal” times. I’m guessing Gone with the Wind topped the box office any number of times over its many reissues, but it was rereleased so many times between 19 that it’s likely that the whole “years between chart-topping weekends” thing is null and void.
