It was one of the top grossing films of 1985, having made almost $62 million just in the US and many millions overseas. It's also made some $23 million in rentals and DVD sales.

It was an expensive film, costing almost $19 million. A return of more than 3X isn't bad........ No "blockbuster" but very popular, nonetheless.

Whoa! I stand corrected. Amazing. I thought it was just a little ball of fluff. nt - tinear 08:22:41 11/06/09 (1)

  no doubt. But it made a lot of money. As an adult I had a very difficult time sitting through it but my kids were 8 and 10 at the time and loved it, as did all their friends. I guess Spielberg knew his audience.
