40 Years Later, ‘Dirty Dancing’ Officially Returns With a Brand-New Release

As a studio, Lionsgate is responsible for some of the biggest smash hits of the last few decades, but you may not have even realized it. You don’t even have to go back any further than late in 2025 to recall that Lionsgate had one of the most impressive hits of the year with The Housemaid, the erotic thriller starring Sydney Sweeney, Brandon Sklenar, and Amanda Seyfried. The film grossed over $400 million at the global box office against a $30 million budget, making it one of the most profitable films of the 2020s. Back in the mid 2010s, Lionsgate was also responsible for The Hunger Games franchise, which collectively earned billions at the box office. Lionsgate is also behind the next Hunger Games movie, Sunrise on the Reaping, which is coming to theaters on November 20.
