Adapted from the Marvel Comics series of the same name, it grossed over $131 million at the worldwide box office against a modest budget and was consequently followed by a sequel.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence Amblin Entertainment “A.I. Artificial Intelligence” can feel like something of an outlier in Steven Spielberg’s filmography. That’s not entirely without good reason, as the film started its life as a Stanley Kubrick adaptation of the 1969 short story “Supertoys Last All Summer Long” before eventually falling into Spielberg’s hands.
