40 Years Ago Today, An Iconic Fantasy Movie Was Released (And The Remake Can’t Get Here Soon Enough)

The movie Highlander premiered in theaters on March 7, 1986, but it wasn’t initially successful. With a budget of $19 million, it only earned $12.8 million in theaters and was considered a flop in the US. Despite this, it gained a dedicated following internationally and on video. What really captured fans’ attention was the film’s unique mythology, which became its most memorable feature and led to several sequels and a popular television series that aired throughout the 1990s.
