had net deze info onder My Name Is Nobody gezet in antwoord op een vraag over meest succesvolle spaghetti westerns allertijden ...
veel zullen denk ik ook verbaast zijn hoe bepaalde films toen ze uitkwamen in de bioscoop helemaal niet zo succesvol waren terwijl andere het heel goed deden.
Misschien zijn jullie ook verbaasd, maar My Name Is Nobody was toendertijd Leone`s meest succesvolle western in de bioscoop!
Het was ook nog een keer de 2de meest succesvolle spaghetti western allertijden!!
of dat Trinity Is Still My Name bijna 2x zoveel had binnen bracht dan Leone`s The Good, The Bad & The Ugly !?
zie lijst hieronder (met wat verassingen!!) in engels taal ...
the most successful spaghetti westerns ever (box office takings upon release):
totals are in millions of lira, so example: Fistful of Dollars 3182 = 3182 million lira
does not include box office takings for "sleepers" (films that during 1970`s sometimes had several re-releases in cinema, of which "Once Upon A Time In The West" is a good example of originally doing ok but not great, but later making much more in box office due to the re-releases), while other films in the genre were not big hits upon original release (like "Django" and "Death Rides A Horse") but which eventually became much bigger sellers after getting re-released ...
