Lucrative Films That Became Even More Valuable TV Shows

7. Weird Science (1985)

Movie Box Office Gross: $28.9 million*
TV Show Spinoff: Weird Science (1994-1998)

There’s no denying that Weird Science definitely has a weird premise, although it was something very fitting for the ‘80s. Two friends magically managed to create the woman of their dreams, although it doesn’t exactly all go to plan.

The movie was a success, but for many ‘90s kids, it was the TV series that really made the grade. Weird Science had a grand total of 88 episodes, airing from 1994 to 1998. Starring Vanessa Angel as Lisa and Michael Manasseri and John Mallory Asher as Wyatt and Gary, it was largely well-received and a popular stape of the USA Network at the time.
