HIT!
An Officer and
A Gentleman
(1982)
This film grossed $129.7
million in 1982 (almost
$300 million in today’s
dollars) and made stars
out of Richard Gere and
Debra Winger. A remake
now, with Channing
Tatum and Greta Gerwig,
just feels right.

(AND COUNTING)
The Godfather
Sony was chastised for
rebooting the Spider-Man
franchise just five years after
Spider-Man 3, but the studio
has had the last laugh. Amazing
Spider-Man could top $800
million worldwide, making it
the biggest reboot ever.
(1972)
F LO P !
Eventually, this will
become an offer
Paramount can’t refuse.
The studio — in a downturn
after high-profile misses
like The Dictator — could
use the lift from one
of the most successful
and highly-respected
franchises ever.

What’s it all about, Alfie?
Apparently, an unwanted remake.
Like Get Carter, this was another
failed attempt at remaking a oncesuccessful Michael Caine film.
