39. The movie wasn't very good either, I couldn't believe Ron Howard directed it.

I usually love Howard's work. He's directed a lot of great movies over the years, but 'Elegy' is his worst film. The film was a huge flop when released; its budget was $45 million, but box office was only $38,852. They're reporting streaming of the movie and sales of the book have gone up considerably since Vance was picked as Trump's VP.
