Hot Tub Time Machine
“Forget the present. Change the future. Kick some past.”
Four pals are stuck in a rut in adulthood: Adam has just been dumped, Lou is a hopeless party animal, Nick is a henpecked husband, and Jacob does nothing but play video games in his basement. But they get a chance to brighten their future by changing their past after a night of heavy drinking in a ski-resort hot tub results in their waking up in 1986.

Source: TMDB. Domestic/international split (~34/66, genre-typical) and the opening-weekend figure (37% of the domestic run, typical for Science Fiction) are MoviesRankd estimates. Profit is gross revenue minus production budget and excludes marketing — studios typically need ~2–2.5× budget to break even.
