more people found out about the Watchmen from that movie and it's related media than from the original book is my guess.

    - Not necessary as I'm not intending on which has made more money --- just who had the widest viewership. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 13:25 1
      - Gets more interesting with Incredibles budget of 92M, which means it made a profit of 148M. - Spawn Feb 23, 13:37
  - oh sure. -- nm - Remlik Feb 23, 13:16 2
    - Hell, I'd say that the biggest driver of the movie being made is that the Incredibles spiked awareness. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 13:17 1
      - Of course. -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 13:18
