Umm, yeah. The film has made $103,068,524 in the U.S. and $171,401,870 in the international box office, bringing its worldwide gross to $274,470,394 That's on a budget of just $80m.

Numbers for 2 were down a bit but plans are already in the works for a 3rd and final installment.

The star power carried enormous weight.
