adb1@hogpd.UUCP (A.BENSON) (02/02/85)

hat was the top grossing movies of 1984?  For some reason

Thanks,.

I just read in the New York Times Saturday that for the first time
ever two films released in a single year (1984) grossed over 100
million dollars.  They were, of course, Ghostbusters and Indiana
Jones and the Temple of Doom.  I don't know which grossed more,
but at that price, does it matter??

I fearlessly predict that if admission prices continue to go up,
this accomplishment will be considered trivial in a few years.

In the Feb 85 issue of Locus it gives the 10 top grossing movies of 1984.
The first three were over $100 million.  They were:

	Ghostbusters  ($221 mil)
	Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom  ($176 mil)
	Gremlins  ($148 mil)
