The most 'money' director, a question . .

[primemover]

Ok, let's see who gets the answer to this question first, what director, with 3 or more major movies under his/her belt, has the highest per movie average when considering worldwide box office?

 

[Aren]

Steven Spielberg? Bryan Singer? Tarantino?

 

[livrule]

Probably Spielberg.

Jaws, Indy, Jurassic, Ryan, ..... would be shocked if its not him.

Update on Spielberg ...

Box office mojo says ..... Lifetime Gross Total (23): $3,447,944,266

Over 3 billion.

Average: $149,910,620

 

[UltimateBatman]

But Peter Jackson is a little higher.....

Lifetime Gross Total (8): $1,271,747,711
Average: $158,968,464

EDIT: Oh damn George Lucas is a lot higher...

Lifetime Gross Total (6): $1,700,470,625
Average: $283,411,771

I think that's our winner

 

[livrule]

Ahh yes.

Good old George.

I guess if it was just lifetime gross Steven would win ??

 

[primemover]

Not George or Peter, they are #2 and #4.

Speilberg isn't even close, though he might be #1 as far as pure gross.

It's somebody a tad more obscure

It took some thinking but I figured it out....


Andrew Adamson

Yep, and worldwide it's like $712 million, good one.

James Cameron was right behind Lucas btw.
