Question: How much did Inglourious Basterds get at the global box office?

Oddly enough, this is cinema in its true purpose” [78], and Maxim Eidis, a journalist for openspace.ru, said that the Cannes jury in 2009 was out of its right mind, not giving the Basterds the Golden palm branch”: “... Perhaps such Nazis should be left to the future — and this is the ending each of us, any of us, any of us, dreamed of seeing since childhood.
