With an estimated budget of $19,000,000. This movie had a decent opening weekend in July of 1985 selling over $11,000,000 worth of tickets. As it finally started to pick up some steam on its way to a total gross sales of nearly $400,000,000. It took 40 rejections before Universal would purchase this film, and now they are probably glad they finally said yes after seeing those impressive ticket sales. When the producers reached out to use Van Helen’s music, they denied rights so Eddie reach out and did a couple of individual songs for them.
