I assume these numbers are adjusted for inflation? 2022 dollars? You should make a note of it on the chart in the future.

They are not adjusted - I will be sure to do that in the future! I can do a second version even.
Good call.

La la Land was a very low-budget movie!

Remember when movies everybody liked won Oscars? Like Gladiator and LOTR and not this obscure shit nobody has heard of?

Really? $25M for Rain Man? They travel around for a bit and there are some exotic cars, but I'm struggling to figure out why it cost that much compared to other films with heavy/complex SFX and such. Either there was bad financial management involved or Tom/Dustin really had a payday.
