Tri-Star Pictures made the huge mistake of releasing the film on the same day as the action movie Lethal Weapon (1987). Lethal Weapon went straight to the top of the box office charts, earning $6.8 million. Angel Heart came in at number four, behind A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and Oscar-winner Platoon, which Mickey Rourke had turned down to appear in Angel Heart. Lethal Weapon wound up one of the top ten box office hits of 1987, while Angel Heart made $17.2 million at the box office in the United States, which fell just shy of its $18 million production budget, not even accounting for marketing costs. And it wasn't just audiences who failed to connect with Angel Heart. Critics weren't impressed either.
