Redwave Films
If you’ve never seen it, the Fully Monty is a Britsh cult classic that is just as popular today as it was when it was released in 1997. The film focuses on four unemployed men who, after losing their steel-working jobs, try to become male stripers. Critics praised its heart and charm, and it earned several Academy Awards nominations, including one for Best Picture.
However, critics weren’t the only ones who loved the Full Monty, audiences did too! With a modest $3.5 million budget, the movie still ended up making a whopping $258 million! Meanwhile, it continues to make quite a bit of money today, thanks to strong, continued home video sales.
