Why did it take so long for Hollywood to rip this off?
It wasn't until that Tom Cruise movie from a few years ago that the floodgates started to open.

shareHuh? Timeloop movies were a thing way before GH day and the Tom Cruise movie.

shareah thanks!
i did that and the oldest one jumped out at me - The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
I have that on a dvd i havent watched yet , bought after some time travel film marathion obsession period
I didnt think it was that old , in fact its possibly a remake .
says 2010 in the blurb
{edit}
just read dvd cover a bit more ...
Its a live action SEQUEL to the 1983 animated film ...
and is also in that list lol
Seems there were 1983 and 2010 live action versions of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and also a 2006 animated film.
sharejust found this conversation again.
deja vu!
still havent watched that dvd
Maybe because the box office gross was not all that spectacular: it finished behind such films as Free Willy and Cliffhanger.
According to Wikipedia, it was the 19th highest grossing film of 1993.
The film only took off in popularity after being rerun endlessly on cable ever since it left the theaters.
That is incorrect. This movie made over 100 million dollars in 1993 on a 14 million dollar budget. It was a HUGE theatrical success.
shareDeja vu?
12 Monkeys?
Time Cop?
Back to the Future series (which preceded Groundhog Day)
There was a rather famous episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation about an ever-repeating time loop pretty much right around the time of Groundhog Day.
