Scrooged only made $60.3 million at the box office after its November 1988 release. It wasn't exactly a massive hit, but it is a beloved Christmas movie today. I wonder if anyone out there can recall the reaction to the idea of Scrooged when it was announced, before it came out and long before it became a cult classic. That was before the internet, never mind social media, so we can't search back to see if people blasted the first Scrooged for the mere idea of its modern twist on A Christmas Carol.
