"Now and Then" was a commercially successful film, grossing over $100 million worldwide against a production budget of $28 million.
Here are some key factors that contributed to its success:
- Strong Cast: The film featured a star-studded cast, including Demi Moore, Rosie O'Donnell, Christina Ricci, Thora Birch, and Gaby Hoffmann, attracting a wide audience.
- Nostalgia Appeal: The film's story, which follows a group of friends as they navigate childhood and adulthood, resonated with audiences who could relate to the themes of friendship, love, and growing up.
- Critical Acclaim: "Now and Then" received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for its performances, direction, and emotional depth.
While "Now and Then" was a box office success, it didn't achieve the same level of cultural impact as some other films released in the same year, such as "Forrest Gump" or "Pulp Fiction".
