How to use it
Pick two films and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first film, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the gross in the chosen unit. Try 1 T2 against Terminators to see peak against original.
Grosses are worldwide theatrical totals, not inflation adjusted. Reissues move small films by thousands. Budgets sit in notes for return math, not the table.
