A Hit
Forrest Gump became a box office hit. With just a budget of $55 million, the film raked in more than $677 million in profits. Now that’s a whole lot of dough but Paramount didn’t think so. The promotion of the film was intense so the profits didn’t seem like enough to the big wigs. The studio was left $62 million poorer once advertising costs were deducted.
