On this day, December 7, 1984, 2010: The Year We Make Contact, the sequel to Stanley Kubrick’s sci-fi masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey, premiered in theaters. Directed by Peter Hyams, the film featured a talented cast, including Roy Scheider, Helen Mirren, Bob Balaban, and John Lithgow.

The story picks up where 2001 left off, delving deeper into the mystery of the monolith and the fate of astronaut Dave Bowman. With a budget of $28 million, the film grossed $40.4 million at the box office, receiving praise for its compelling storyline and visual effects, even if it couldn’t quite match the legacy of its groundbreaking predecessor.
