John Hughes wrote Breakfast Club (1985) before he wrote Sixteen Candles - Un compleanno da ricordare (1984), but the studio was concerned that Hughes's first film was a drama, completely filmed in-house and featuring just talking; basically a Broadway Encounter group type formula. They wanted him to do something tried and true; something along the lines of Animal House (1978), so he wrote Sixteen Candles. But, ironically, Sixteen Candles was not the commercial and critical hit Breakfast Club was. It did ok; but Breakfast Club, not a formula movie like Sixteen Candles, was a much bigger hit at the box office.
