Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan changed the rom-com forever three decades ago.
Thirty years ago, a single love story would change the course of a genre, and a classic was established within film history. Sleepless in Seattle has earned its legacy as a memorable romance film since it was released on the big screen back in 1993. While it wasn't the highest-grossing movie from the year it was released in, it managed to earn an amount ten times bigger than its budget, proving to be a successful endeavor for TriStar Pictures.
According to Entertainment Weekly, several events will be held across the country to celebrate the film's 30th anniversary. The cities hosting these events will be New York and Seattle, given how that's where the main characters lived in the timeless classic. "It's a Sign" will be held on June 30, with both the Empire State Building and Space Needle lighting up concurrently in lavender and red, while a heart will spin in the tower's mast.
