MGM Announces ‘Showgirls 3D’ After Successful Re-release of ‘Lion King’

In what Hollywood insiders are calling a “baffling move,” MGM announced plans to re-release the 1995 flop Showgirls in 3D.

After 3D versions of The Nightmare Before Christmas and more recently The Lion King proved successful at the box office, investors lined up to pump $13 million into the new-and-improved Showgirls.

The original film lost over $8 million and was panned by critics, but that hasn’t scared away financiers.

“There’s no gamble as far as I’m concerned,” said Showgirls 3D producer Kami Havluciyan. “If The Lion King can make $80 million, imagine what’ll happen when you replace Simba with Elizabeth Berkley’s 3D tits.”
