The 2016 film 'Sully' grossed ~$240M on a $60M budget!

Clint Eastwood directed Tom Hanks as Capt. Sullenberger in 'Sully' (2016). Made for ~$60M, it earned over $240M worldwide — roughly 4x its cost — becoming one of that year's most profitable biopics.

Alzheimer's costs the U.S. over $360 billion per year.

The Alzheimer's Association's 2024 report puts the disease's annual U.S. cost at $360B — more than cancer and heart disease combined. By 2050, costs could surpass $1 trillion as the U.S. population ages.
