The Thing, released the previous year, was (according to common cultural consensus now, but I don't have specific reviews in front of me to cite) absolutely lambasted by critics and made $19.6 million, ranked 42nd for the year.
Christine made (slightly)
more money, $21.01 million, and ranked 35th for the year. How could anyone at the time have regarded
Christine as the inferior film, as it made more money and garnered more favorable notices?
