Lucrative Films That Became Even More Valuable TV Shows

21. Teen Wolf (1985)

Movie Box Office Gross: $80 million*
TV Show Spinoff: Teen Wolf (2011-2017)

When Micahel J. Fox starred in 1985’s Teen Wolf, he probably didn’t bet on it becoming an uber-successful TV show three decades later. The movie was a fun rom-com with a twist, and people loved it. Considering its budget was a paltry $1.2 million, the movie was solid gold.

In 2011, MTV launched its own take on the concept with Tyler Posey in the lead role. Although the show was much more dramatic than the original movie, it served as a solid inspiration. At the time, supernatural teen dramas were reigning supreme.
