Miscellaneous Movie Musings

I'm gonna watch one of my favorite movies in a bit - Midnight Run
I don't remember this movie doing well, or much at all at the box office, but I can't help but laugh every time I watch it.
One of the best buddy pictures ever.

Actually, I think Midnight Run was a considerable hit back in the day.

I did quick research: Midnight Run made $38 million domestic in 1988, which was a solid but not spectacular take. It was the 29th highest grossing film of that year. By comparison, the 29th highest grossing films of each of the past three years were Meet the Robinsons, Nacho Libre and Constantine.

Thanks!
