In addition to not actually being a bad movie, IMHO, it took in 258.2 million dollars worldwide almost ten years ago. When you adjust for inflation, that compares with other reasonably successful movies of today. By comparison, it outperformed Star Wars Episode IV Special Edition, which in itself is considered successful, and it tied in unadjusted dollars with other successful movies, like Scary Movie, Total Recall, The Truman Show, Unbreakable, and XXX, just to name a few. Not bad for a catastrophe Anyway, on the subject of COR, this is the only movie of the summer that I've been looking forward to for more than just a couple of months. In fact, I've been looking forward to it since I first heard about it shortly after Pitch Black was deemed a success. Also, this was not Vin Diesel's second choice for a career defining trilogy. He turned down the sequel to the Fast and the Furious so that he could make this movie. This is the project he wanted to make from the beginning.  I'm sure it will be excellent for what it is.</blockquote>
