Love the site, but why isn’t Enter the Dragon’s box office info entered? We know it was highly successful. BoxOfficeMojo is inaccurate which isn’t uncommon. The info isn’t consistent across the board, but it definitely didn’t make less than a million as the table suggests.
Another film left off the list is THE NAKED APE.
