Lucrative Films That Became Even More Valuable TV Shows

11. Westworld (1973)

Movie Box Office Gross: $10 million*
TV Show Spinoff: Westworld (2016-)

Yul Brynner was in a lot of movies, but Westworld might be one of his strangest endeavors. Half western half science fiction, the plot follows his android character as he tries to make sense of the theme park he lives in. A sequel was released in 1976, followed by a short-lived TV show in 1980.

However, it’s the latest adaptation that’s really piqued the interest of viewers. First released in 2016, Westworld stars Evan Rachel Wood and James Marsden in lead roles, as well as Anthony Hopkins. The show has won numerous awards and is regarded as one of the best shows ever made.
