Worldwide box office: $98.4 million
Crash wasn’t a box office smash by any means, though it did very well over its $6 million budget. It also won Best Picture at the Academy Awards for the year it was released, and has, ever since, been viewed as a particularly glaring example of the Oscar going to a film that, perhaps, didn’t deserve it—all that aside, its view of racial harmony looks more shallow and problematic with age (we’re meant to feel, for example, that the police officer who had earlier terrified and sexually assaulted Thandie Newton’s character during a traffic stop is deserving of some kind of redemption when he does his job and pulls her from a burning car).
