The movie from which Schwarzenegger earned over $40 million
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito played twin brothers in the film. Schwarzenegger was better known as an action hero at the time. Comedy was something completely different for the actor who had done ‘Terminator’, ‘Predator’ or ‘Conan the Barbarian’. The second installment of the Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring series ‘Foobar’ has been released on Netflix. To promote the series, the actor recently appeared on Andy Cohen’s show ‘Watch What Happens Live’. There, he talked about the most profitable film of his career. Many were surprised to hear the information given by Schwarzenegger.
The actor said that the comedy film Twins, released in 1988, is the most profitable film of his career! No matter how successful the ‘Terminator’ franchise was at the box office, no other film has come close to the revenue generated by ‘Twins’. The actor said that he was bored with action films and wanted to do something different. However, the task was not easy. According to Schwarzenegger, ‘They used to say, “The more people this guy kills on screen, the more business he will get. Why would we change that?”‘ No one wanted to make a comedy with Schwarzenegger at that time, so he came up with his own plan.
