George Lucas was instrumental in the re-release of Grease
Turns out that George Lucas was a massive fan of the film. So when it was time for a re-release, George Lucas stepped in and helped get Paramount on board. Lucas said t, “Every nine year old he knew watched a VHS copy of Grease every day,” back when it was released.
The budget turnaround for Grease is insane
Grease was filmed on a rather small budget of just around $6 million dollars. However, despite this tiny sum, the film earned more than $400 million worldwide! Just crazy.
