Classic vs remake: 8 movies that original did better at box office than remake

Many movies have been rebooted and remade over the years, drawing mixed emotions from fans. For movies like "Ghostbusters" and "Mean Girls," the original has come out on top at the box office.

Measuring which is "better" is difficult to do, with opinions swirling backing either version.  Ashlyn Messier is a writer for Fox News Digital. 

As far as the box office goes, there are select remakes that have been able to outshine the original movie in numbers alone, while for others, the originals hold the most financial success. Even though the box office numbers of the originals below beat those of the remade movies (with inflation considered), which is the "better" movie will always be up for debate.
