AUSTIN POWERS: THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME - with Siri Dahl
We are kicking off the summer by returning to the box office top 10 for the first time since Runaway Bride with one of the 1999’s big summer blockbusters, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me!
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me was the 4th-highest grossing movie of 1999, behind Toy Story 2, The Sixth Sense, and The Phantom Menace, opening on June 11 and taking in $55 million that weekend, going on to make $206 million at the domestic box office on a $33 million budget.
Directed by Jay Roach and written by Mike Myers and Michael McCullers, The Spy Who Shagged Me saw Heather Graham stepping in to the Powers Girl role, replacing Elizabeth Hurley. The hugely anticipated and hyped sequel to the 1997 original, the movie came in with sky high expectations.
The results were, well...mixed.
But there's no question that Austin Powers was a huge cultural milestone, so we wanted to see how it held up.
Helping us get the summer off to the most shagadelic start possible is actor, writer, podcaster, and activist Siri Dahl!
