I know these are peer generated awards and not necessarily what is most popular among the people but I thought it was interesting. Maybe the Oscars will give it a bump which happens.
The last highest-grossing film that won Best Picture Oscar was in 2003—The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. $500 million.

The movie just came out in Oct so it's not goi to have a big box office. It's been gaining steam and obv last night helped dramatically
I feel a profound sense of sorrow for any loser over age 20 who actually went to any LOTR movie.
