Clash of the Titans, 1981, did $41m business on $15m budget. It didn't quite scrape the top 10 for 1981. Granted, it's a hell of a list - but the '81 version was beaten out by fucking Time Bandits.

Clash of the Titans, 2010, did $163m domestic on a $125m budget. It did triple that foreign, which makes it about doubly successful as Eragon, widely regarded as a total stinker. It's $300m short of Lion, Witch & Wardrobe (which, admittedly, cost a lot more). It came in at #14, behind True Grit and barely ahead of The King's Speech.

But it got a sequel.
