The film stars Prince in his acting debut, playing a quasi-biographical person called "The Kid." Purple Rain was developed to showcase his talents and hence contains several extended concert sequences. The film grossed more than US$68 million at the box office in the United States and over 80 million worldwide, thus making a large profit on its $7.2 million budget. Purple Rain is the only feature film that Prince starred in but did not direct. A semi-sequel, Graffiti Bridge, was released in 1990.
