boxofficemojo 'The Thing (1982)'s gross has been revised to
$19.6M. The originally listed $13.8M didn't account for the whole run

Kind of seems a little late in the game to really matter.

I had no idea it made so little money.

The film was released in '82, fresh on the heels of E.T.. Apparently the world wanted nothing to do w/ dripping, gory, monster aliens (at the time).

Although it’s one of those films where it’s amazing how well the puppetry and effects hold up. It didn't make squat on inital release. Good movie though.

They're just trying to build it up for the prequel.

It made $53m adjusted. Not bad for a little horror movie.

To be fair the summer of 82 had quite a lot of pretty good competition.

Conan the Barbarian
Rocky 3
Blade Runner
ET
Firefox
Poltergeist
Star Trek II : The Wrath of Khan
Tron
Friday the 13th part 3
The Road Warrior

That's a pretty decent list of movies to go up against

Batman1980 · 06-18-2010, 06:57 PM

Wow that's one nice summer, wonder if we'll ever see one that good again.

khan1670 · 06-18-2010, 07:02 PM

Plus these movies which aren't my cup of tea, but did decently.

Best little *****house in Texas
An Officer and a Gentlemen
Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Does that cover takings from home video, TV, etc?

Isn't it funny how nearly all of Gandalfs threads are 1 stars...stop making so many useless threads.

Look at the bright side, at least he isn't using Wiki as a source.
