What is Robert Zemeckis' highest grossing film?
Imagine being the guy who gave us Marty McFly, Roger Rabbit, and a guy who became besties with a volleyball. Listing off films directed by Robert Zemeckis just sounds like the ultimate American movie marathon. Which of his blockbusters took home the biggest pile of cash?
▼
Correct Answer: Forrest Gump
"Forrest Gump" landed in theaters in 1994 and sprinted away with $678.2 million worldwide against a $55 million budget. Zemeckis and Tom Hanks had so much faith in the film's success they both negotiated for a share of gross receipts instead of an upfront salary and earned over $40 million each. But it wasn't just a money printing machine, it earned 13 Oscar nominations and won six of them including Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Picture.
