Eli Muske Mrs. Alvstad English 8 15 Feb. 2023 The Outsiders Movie sucks but why? The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, the book (with the average price being 8.44 USD with 14 million copies) made more money than The Outsiders, the movie (box office was 33.4 million) by 85 million dollars or 3.5 times as much as the movie.
