Another thing we see in the raw numbers is that Stone seems to have better artistic success on a tight budget. Heaven and Earth was the beginning of a rough and bloated decade when 5 films with a combined budget of over $350 mil returned only $183 mil (domestic). The Oscars dried up during the same period, with Nixon being the sole nominee.
