Released Alongside Classics
These 29 movies were all released on the same weekend as one of IMDb's Top 50 movies. However, not one of them places in the IMDb Top 250. Which of them do you think is the best?
Movies from before 1982 don't have weekend figures and therefore aren't included, and Forrest Gump was the sole new release on it's opening weekend. If more than one movie was released on the weekend, the highest grossing one is used. The first weekend rather than the first wide weekend is used. IMDb Top 50 as of 13th April 2015. Discuss it here
