Hmm, he certainly is the most
renowned Russian director but I'm not so sure that any of his films actually made any money, all being art films with a specific (and by no means numerous) target audience. I don't have any hard data to back this up, but I'm pretty sure Bekmambetov's vampire thrilogy and Bodrov's
Mongol have made a substantial amount of money, far out of reach of an art house film.
