What was the first Arnold Schwarzenegger movie to gross over $100M at the box office?
If you were a movie executive circa the late '70s/early '80s, I highly doubt you would have been like, "You know who's going to become a gigantic movie star? That one bodybuilder from Austria." And then there he was in Total Recall getting your you know what to Mars.
Not only did Arnold Schwarzenegger find a way to become successful in the acting business, but his movies have grossed an estimated $4 billion worldwide. That's a lot of weights!
It felt like at a certain point he could basically sneeze and make hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, but among his many blockbusters only one could be the first to cross a significant milestone. Which one of Arnold's movies was the first to break $100 million at the box office?

Correct Answer: Twins
The answer is: Twins. Arnold’s first movie to make over $100 million wasn’t an action extravaganza. Instead, it was a cute buddy road trip comedy with Danny DeVito. Arnold Schwarzenegger came very close to breaking the $100M mark with Predator, but the movie fell just shy of the goal at $98M worldwide. Arnold’s first movie north of the $100M milestone exceeded the goal by a wide margin when 1988’s Twins grossed over $216 million worldwide. Source
