ROI Commentary:

Average ROI: 106%
ROI Rank: 485

Well, Wolfgang Petersen may not be in the top 10%, but at least he’s still in the A-List club. And hey, being in the top 25% of nearly 2,000 directors with a rank of 485 is nothing to sneeze at. Maybe he just needs to make a movie about a sneezing contest to boost his ROI.
