  • Film Flashback… Ghostbusters & Gremlins Opened
    Monday, June 7, 2021 | No. 171 Film Flashback… Ghostbusters & Gremlins Opened on 6/8/1984 Weekends with two major openings that aren't targeted to the same audience typically boost box office business – as we just saw Memorial Day weekend. There was, however, a time when studios didn't always avoid going head-to-head with the wrong films. The classic example of what not to do occurred June 8, 1984 when Columbia opened Ivan Reitman's action fantasy GHOSTBUSTERS and Warner Bros. launched Joe Dante's action fantasy GREMLINS. Both were going to play best to younger males. Both studios wanted to kick-off that weekend because in those days early June was when most schools had just closed for the summer, so younger males were now able to see movies all week long. GHOSTBUSTERS looked the strongest. Reitman had already directed hit comedies like MEATBALLS (1979 - $43M) & STRIPES (1981 - $85M). His new film had big star power – Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd & Sigourney Weaver. GREMLINS' Joe Dante hadn't directed any big hits yet but had gotten lots of attention with his werewolf film THE HOWLING (1981 - $18M). Stars Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates & Hoyt Axton weren't as well-known as GHOSTBUSTERS' star trio. GREMLINS did have some significant star power behind the camera in executive producer Steven Spielberg, whose Gremlins opened on 6/8/1984, INDIANA JONES & THE TEMPLE OF DOOM had just opened Memorial Day weekend to Directed by Joe Dante and Executive $42.3M and would do $333M worldwide. Despite industry speculation that one title might Produced by Steven Spielberg move, both studios stayed the course.

We take mega-hits for granted now, but 46 years ago there weren't any. Blockbuster business requires very wide distribution with costly marketing campaigns to drive moviegoers into theatres opening weekend. That's not something studios did until June 20, 1975 when Universal opened Steven Spielberg's scary thriller JAWS about a great white shark terrorizing a summer resort. It starred Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw & Richard Dreyfuss. Spielberg wasn't quite "Spielberg" yet. He'd only made one feature, Universal's crime drama SUGARLAND EXPRESS starring Goldie Hawn, but it put him on track to do bigger things. For his next film, he convinced SE's well connected power producers Richard D. Zanuck & David Brown to let him direct JAWS. In 1973 they'd purchased the rights to JAWS pre-publication for $175,000. JAWS had the right ingredients to be a blockbuster. It was based on Peter Benchley's bestselling novel, had a high concept action storyline and beach settings that were perfect for summertime moviegoing.
