In addition to the two shows he's on, he still performs and headlines, constantly featured on men's health magazines, and is hosting the Grammys again. Michael Rappaport and Thomas Jane unfortunately are no longer around enough anymore.

 Re: Holy adjusted gross shit!
The Force Awakens is #15 on the adjusted box office list. Just wow. Might finish in the top ten.

 Re: Holy adjusted gross shit!
And almost every film in the top ten has had major re releases, extended runs. This could very well be the biggest box office run ever if it passes 940 million.

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle - $182,649,600
I find this interesting since unlike many other thrillers at the time, this had no big star.

 Re: Holy adjusted gross shit!
Wikipedia states that the Godfather was re-released in 1973 following the academy awards, and that its 1972 WW gross was $127.6–142M, compared to the $245M that BOM shows.

 Re: Holy adjusted gross shit!
Another question mark surrounding this weekend: Will BvS become Ben Affleck's biggest (adjusted) hit which is ARMAGEDDON ($370m)...

 Re: Holy adjusted gross shit!
The sequel is also the last R rated film to hold the OW record. Perhaps even of all time. I'm not sure what any of the OW records were before Jaws.

That makes it the only R-rated movie to hold this record.

 Re: Holy adjusted gross shit!
SW7 stopped only a few million shy from All Time Top 10. It will be good headline with a re-release.

 Re: Holy adjusted gross shit!
Beavis and Butt-Head Do America adjusts to $120 million. Didn't realize the show was THAT huge during the Nineties.
I still wonder how The Simpsons Movie would have done had it been made during the show's peak in the 1990s. Released around 1995-1997 it probably would have made $200+ million then, adjusting to over $400 million today.

The show was big (and arguably past its prime when released in 1996). It actually broke the December OW record too! Only to be smashed a year later by Scream 2 (and also beaten by Titanic and Tomorrow Never Dies in the same month).

 Re: Holy adjusted gross shit!
Which, adjusted, is $24m. Sure, the ROI is great! It's in Straight Outta Compton territory. But Lecter did not mention it as impressive for that reason. Just on simple gross vs. marketplace, it's not that impressive. Beavis and Butthead was a popular animated show in the 90s. It did not even make the top 20 for the year, and adjusted it would not even make the top 25 (of the last full year).
