The Blu-Ray Review: Grease: Rockin' Rydell Edition (1978)
30 April 2009 6:34 PM, PDT
With the exception of 2002.s Chicago, 1978.s Grease represented the last gasp of the Hollywood musical as popular entertainment. And what a gasp it offered! At least at the box office, Grease kicked some serious tail. The movie earned $181 million in 1978, a figure that earns it the spot as the highest-grossing musical of all-time. Of course, if we adjust the figures for inflation, 1965.s The Sound of Music easily grabs the top position for the genre, and 1964.s Mary Poppins also beats it. But Grease remains number one based on actual figures, and anyway, it.s still the biggest hit musical that doesn.t star Julie Andrews!
