Stage adaptation [ edit ] Dirty Dancing: The Classic Story on Stage musical at the Aldwych Theatre (2007) Further disputes arose over whether a corporate sponsor could be found to promote the film. Marketers of the Clearasil acne product liked the film, seeing it as a vehicle to reach a teen target audience. However, when they learned the film contained an abortion scene, they asked for that part of the plot to be cut. As Bergstein refused, the Clearasil promotion was dropped. Consequently, Vestron promoted the film themselves and initially aimed for a July premiere [45] before setting the premiere on August 16, 1987. The Vestron executives had planned to release the film in theaters for a weekend, and then home video, since Vestron had been in the video distribution business before film production.

The part of Baby's mother was originally given to Lynne Lipton, who is briefly visible in the beginning, when the Houseman family first pulls into Kellerman's (she is in the front seat for a few seconds; her blonde hair is the only indication), but she became ill during the first week of shooting and was replaced by actress Kelly Bishop, who had already been cast to play resort guest Vivian Pressman. Bishop moved into the role of Mrs. Houseman, and the film's assistant choreographer Miranda Garrison took on the role of Vivian. [31] [32] (When Baby is dancing in the final scene, the line that her mother says to Jerry Orbach, "She gets that from me..." is a wink to the fact that Kelly Bishop was in the original cast of A Chorus Line, using the name at that time of Carole Bishop, and had been a professional dancer.) In October 2021, amid a dispute over abortion in Texas, magazine The Hollywood Reporter recommended the film as one to revisit on abortion in the cinema industry. Angie Han, writing for the magazine, highlighted Eleanor Bergstein's writing of the film. [65] Accolades [ edit ] Award Leszczak, Bob (October 10, 2013).

Confession time, I’ve never seen Dirty Dancing (although weirdly I have seen Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights). I know the iconography, the music, the lines. But this poster makes me reconsider everything I knew about it. It makes it seem like the coolest thing ever, and my life is less good the longer I take to watch the film. The power of a simple image, presented well. Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom– Czechoslovakia Composition: The poster’s composition is well-balanced. The image of Johnny and Baby dancing is placed in the center of the poster, with the title and tagline above and below it. The composition draws the viewer’s attention to the image and the message. The film's popularity continued to grow after its initial release. It was the number one video rental of 1988 [59] and became the first film to sell a million copies on video. When the film was re-released in 1997, ten years after its original release, Swayze received his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, [13] and videos were still selling at the rate of over 40,000 per month. [13] As of 2005 [update], it was selling a million DVDs per year, [60] with over ten million copies sold as of 2007 [update]. [61]The film's popularity successfully launched its titular franchise; including a 1988 television series, multiple reality competition shows, a 2004 prequel titled Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, a stage production which has had sellout performances in multiple countries, a made-for-television musical adaptation in 2017, and an untitled sequel currently in development. [4] A sequel is scheduled to be released in Summer 2025, with Grey reprising her role.
