Who doesn't like a good movie! Given we all like to be entertained, we might equate a directors box office totals to commercial success.

To put this into prospective, Nvidea for the fiscal year ended Jan 2026 made $220 billion in gross revenues. The company is now worth over $1 trillion.

The movie business is now in steep decline. I fired up Claude to add a little context. The orange bars in the charts below represent gross revenue for the movie theatrical release in general and below that for Spielberg's content. Not going in the right direction.
