Opening Day is March 29. Get in the spirit of the baseball season with these baseball movies that hit commercial home runs.
Let’s get into the spirit of a new MLB season with some of the biggest baseball movies that all hit a commercial home run. These are the highest grossing baseball movies of all time, ranked from lowest to highest. Buena Vista 20. „Mr.3000“ – $21.8 million Bernie Mac plays a former baseball great who returns to the league at age 47 after learning he was just a few hits shy of 3000. Warner Bros. 19. „Major League II“ – $30.6 million Charlie Sheen, Corbin Bernsen and Tom Berenger all came back for the sequel to „Major League,“ but Wesley Snipes had become a bigger star, and his role of Willie Mays Hayes was taken over by Omar Epps. Twentieth Century Fox 18. „The Sandlot“ – $32.4 million „The Sandlot“ performed modestly at the box office in 1993, but it found a second life as a cult film on VHS and on DVD a decade after its release. Paramount Pictures 17. „Bad News Bears“ (2005) – $32.8 million Billy Bob Thornton starred in Richard Linklater’s remake of the ’70s classic starring Walter Matthau. Universal 16. „For Love of the Game“ – $35.1 million Kevin Costner shows up quite a bit on this list. Sam Raimi directs Costner as a washed up pitcher reflecting on his career in baseball. Warner Bros. 15. „Trouble With the Curve“ – $35.7 million Clint Eastwood and Amy Adams play a father and daughter trying to patch up their relationship during Eastwood’s final season as a baseball scout.
