With a worldwide box office of $274,470,394 that's what I would call making money "hand over fist" for sure.

And why would you think the "main" number is domestic? The money spends just as good from domestic and international doesn't it?
Anyway...it was the number one movie at the box office when it came out.

The second one did even bigger numbers:
The budget for "2" was $100.000,000 so it cost $20,000,000 more to make.
But it ended up making $305,428,192 worldwide so it made more money than the first one did.

I don't know man...those are big numbers in my mind.
Not "Spiderman" type numbers. But pretty damn good money for a movie of mindless action and fun.
