I don’t understand why H2(81) is so low. It’s an awesome movie.

According to Box Office Mojo, if we are to believe their figures are correct, the worldwide gross in 1981 was $25M, which adjusts to $75M today. I believe it had a $2M budget in 1981, and made over ten times its money back, which was still a pretty big success at the time, but it just didn’t make the $70M worldwide that the 1st film did in 1978.
