A timeless classic, Lionsgate’s Dirty Dancing is the story of summertime romance with a beloved soundtrack and memorable dancing scenes. Released in 1987, the film became an international box office phenomenon. It was directed by Emile Ardolino, written by Eleanor Bergstein, produced by Linda Gottlieb, and starred Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, alongside Jerry Orbach, Cynthia Rhodes, and Kelly Bishop.
The soundtrack generated two multi-platinum albums and numerous singles, including the Academy Award-winning Best Original Song “(I've Had) The Time of My Life.” With a global box office total of over $214 million, “Dirty Dancing” won over audiences all around the world. The film also spawned a television series, multiple competition reality shows, a prequel film, a stage production with sold-out performances around the world, a made-for-television musical adaptation and a Lionsgate sequel film in development.
