Will you be adding the missing films soon?
Hi Chad, yes we’re working on it! Numbers for 2019 also updated. Thanks!
I hope it will be soon
When you guys have the chance, please add Apt Pupil. It’s a very underrated film from Bryan Singer that deserves more love
Still no posts for A Civil Action, Babe Pig in the City or Mighty Joe Young. Not trying to rush you.
Lethal Weapon 4 seems like a bomb, probably ended the franchise
Nope, break even, oddly enough…140M budget, 285M total cume worldwide.
Today is the 21st anniversary of the release of “Babe: Pig in the City”
And it still hasn’t been posted
Add Barney’s Great Adventure on the pending list it got the bad opening as well $12,218,638.
A week from today, will The Siege be finally included?
Leaving that movie off. Had a budget just over $60M and made just under$120M.
Looking at upcoming movies with anniversary dates (aside from what you have planned), are any of these movies going to be added?
16 October: Practical Magic
30 October: Americn History X, Vampires
13 November: I’ll Be Home for Christmas
25 November, Ringmaster, Very Bad Things
A week from Wednesday, how about The Negotiator?
I’m still waiting for those films to be added. I don’t want to have to wait until November again.
I hope to get them up before their anniversary dates, but I’m swamped lately and trying my best. Please bear with me.
Again, I’m really sorry for pestering you, I’m just really eager to see them.
I’m just happy you are looking forward to them. I have catch up to do with a few more articles and then i’ll get to 1998 titles
Thank you.
Shouldn’t Turbo A Power Rangers Movie be on this list?
It was made very cheaply — under $10M.
Those five still have yet to be added.
The pointless shot-for-shot Psycho remake should be here. Only made about half of its $40m budget.
make a 1997 list and add Cats Don’t Dance on it.
What happened to “A Simple plan”?
You missed Babe.
When are you going to add these 1998 films:
September: Ronin
October: Pleasantville, Soldier, Apt Pupil
November: The Siege, Meet Joe Black, Home Fries, Babe Pig in the City, Very Bad Things
December: Mighty Joe Young, The Thin Red Line
How about Tarzan and the Lost City? It opened in April 1998, and grossed only $2,172,941 domestically against a $20 million budget.
What about Babe: Pig in the City?
It will be added on its 20th anniversary. 1998 & 1999 titles are being being added by their release date.
So which ones will be added next?
My guesses:
September: Ronin
October: What Dreams May Come, Holy Man, Beloved, Pleaseantville, Soldier, Apt Pupil
November: The Siege, Meet Joe Black, Home Fries, Babe Pig in the City, Very Bad Things
December: Jack Frost, Mighty Joe Young, Thin Red Line
Barney’s Great Adventure budget 15 million Box Office 12.2 million
Where is Soldier? That one ended being a major critical and commercial failure.
Still adding ’98 titles. We began with January releases recently and are catching up to the current date. Soldier will be added on its 20th anniversary.
Would love to see “Antz” on the list. Not only it’s Dreamworks Animation’s first CGI-animated film (It’s would be their bread-and-butter), but, it’s got lost in the mist that was Disney/Pixar’s “A Bug’s Life”, that was came out a few weeks after!!!
Antz wasn’t a flop though, and most people seemed to enjoy it.
So many to add here for that year!
The Avengers, Sphere, Deep Rising, Meet Joe Black, Major League: Back to the Minors, Species II, Quest for Camelot, Soldier, Desperate Measures, Jack Frost, Twilight, Knock Off, Holy Man, Mighty Joe Young, An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn.
Hard Rain,Beloved…
Mafia, Blues Brothers 2000, Dark City :(, Newton Boys, Mercury Rising, Black Dog, Primary Colors, Out of Sight, Wrongfully Acused, What Dreams May Come, Babe Pig In the City
I’m in favor of Primary Colors. As far as I know it’s a X-rated British art film based on a secret Victorian novel (Why do anonyously-written novels always made into X-rated British art films?)!!!
