TV Article Goonies 30th anniversary: Sean Astin posts picture with Fratelli brothers By Christopher Rosen Christopher Rosen Christopher Rosen is the former executive editor at Entertainment Weekly. He left EW in 2018. EW's editorial guidelines Published on June 7, 2015 06:21PM EDT Photo: Everett Collection On June 7, 1985, The Goonies was released in theaters where it would finish in second place during its debut weekend to Rambo: First Blood Part II. But 30 years later, and The Goonies is a cultural touchstone for the millennial generation (Seth Cohen is a fan) and relevant enough that talk of a sequel still percolates often. The cast and crew of The Goonies has discussed the film’s place in popular culture before, and will do so again on Sunday. Stars Sean Astin, Robert Davi and Joe Pantoliano are appearing together at Niagra Falls Comic Con, and Astin commemorated the anniversary with a photo on Twitter. As the saying goes, Goonies (almost) never say die. Relive the original trailer for The Goonies below.
