Top 5 Grossing Movies 1984:

1. Ghostbusters
Legendary movie still getting sequels and remakes today.

2. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Bad sequel in a legendary franchise still getting sequels today

3. Gremlins
Cult classic that apparently has a reboot in the works

4. The Karate Kid
Sequels, remakes, spin-off TV shows, this thing has never run out of gas.

5. Police Academy



Top 5 Grossing Movies 2021:

1. Spiderman: No Way Home
A remake of a remade remake.

2. Shang Chi
Mostly forgettable Marvel fodder

3. Venom: Let Their Be Carnage
Mostly Forgettable Marvel fodder

4. Black Widow
Mostly forgettable Marvel fodder

5. F9: The Fast Saga
The ninth installment in a series that's as repetitive as a cuckoo clock.

4 Marvel movies and a ninth sequel versus 2 legendary franchise starters, a cult favorite and a classic comedy that spawned numerous sequels. I knew the drop was bad, but man.

LOL...you are making the same comments for both lists, yet it's a positive for the 84 movies and a negative for the recent movies.


Ghostbusters: legendary movie still getting sequels and remakes today

Spiderman: a remake of a remade remake




Karate Kid: sequels, remakes, spin off tv shows, this thing never runs out of gas

Fast 9: ninth installment that is repetitive




Make up your mind.

The movie experience has gotten so expensive that the only movies most people are going to pay to see in theatre are going to be large special effects drive. Action movies.
