We’re just over a month away from Christmas, meaning that tons of people around the world are going to be dusting off their collection of holiday favorites, and one of the first titles on the list for a lot of fans will no doubt be Joe Dante’s Gremlins. The beloved horror comedy was a massive box office success when it first hit theaters in the summer of 1984, bringing in over $212 million on a budget of just $11 million, and has since endured for close to four decades as a cult classic.
A sequel arrived six years later, but self-aware and meta follow-up The New Batch bombed hard, failing to even recoup the $50 million production costs despite gaining solid reviews. Over the last 30 years, talk of a third installment has never strayed too far from the conversation, but despite numerous attempts to get Gremlins 3 off the ground, it still hasn’t happened yet.
