Back to the Future Part III is a
movie starring
Michael J. Fox that opened on
25 May 1990. It is the third part of a
trilogy, following
Back to the Future and
Back to the Future Part II. It grossed $23 million in its first weekend of US release and $87.6 million altogether in US box office receipts – $243 million worldwide. It was not as successful as the second film but was not a disappointment either, especially given that it was released six months after the second film. On
17 December 2002 Universal Studios released
Back to the Future Part III in a boxed set with the first two films on
DVD and
VHS which did extremely well when it was released. In the
DVD widescreen edition there was a minor framing flaw that Universal has since corrected, available in sets manufactured after
21 February 2003.
