The Goonies Returning to Theaters this September
Hey you guys! Goonies is returning to a theater near you to honor a 100 years of Warner Brothers. This iconic Richard Donner film is getting a limited engagement run at various AMC theaters starting September 1. Check your local theaters website for showtimes as it appears that Goonies will be available for only one showing per day.
“The Goonies,” directed by Richard Donner and released in 1985, is a beloved adventure-comedy film that has left an enduring mark on pop culture. This classic tale follows a group of misfit kids, played by a talented ensemble cast including Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, and Martha Plimpton, as they embark on a treasure hunt to save their neighborhood from being demolished.
Their quest takes them on a thrilling journey filled with pirate legends, booby traps, and hidden treasures. Despite receiving mixed critical reviews upon release, “The Goonies” found its audience and became a cult classic over the years. At the box office, it was a considerable success, grossing over $61 million domestically and cementing its status as a cherished ’80s film that continues to resonate with audiences of all ages.

There have been several efforts to revive ‘The Goonies.’ “Every couple of years, we come up with an idea, but then it doesn’t hold water,” said producer and writer Steven Spielberg. Several of the actors have expressed an interest in returning to the story, specifically Austin, Quan, and Feldman. However with Richard Donner’s passing in July of 2021, it seems unlikely that Goonies will get a second story unless someone agrees to helm the project.
Until then we’re going to have to enjoy this VHS classic another 1000 times. Lucky for us we can head into the theaters and catch Goonies on the big screen one more time. If you’re not lucky enough to have ‘The Goonies’ on a screen near you, it can be streamed on MAX (with a subscription.)
