The USA grossed over $13,400,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more thiago s @Thiagostone May 11 Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é mais ou menos, as cenas são bacaninhas, o elenco é mais ou menos, e só o casal ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é mais ou menos, os personagens sao fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores, mas eu até recomendo esse filme. See more Farah R @Farah 12/06/2024 King Solomon's Mines is a terrible rehash of Indiana Jones with visual effects that are so awful, even for the 80s. The entire movie is laughably bad and gets one wondering if it's money laundering. See more John S @RT72339690 05/20/2024 i don’t understand why everyone likes "Romancing the Stone" but doesn’t like this movie, in my opinion it makes no difference, both are good See more Alexander H @AHughes24 01/29/2024 F it.
