33 Years Later, Robin Williams’ $441M Box-Office Smash Hit Scores New Release
1993 was an exceptional year for Hollywood cinema, with a landscape full of blockbusters and independent hits. The year spawned a slew of modern classics that includes Sleepless in Seattle, Dazed and Confused, Philadelphia, Groundhog Day, The Piano, and Schindler’s List — and that’s only a small sample of a diverse, impressive slate. The sheer number of standouts is staggering. Competition at the box office was fierce, but Robin Williams shattered expectations with a film that almost topped the year’s box office top ten — and now, 33 years later, it’s getting a new release.
