Rudy did $21 million box office in 1993 and We Are Marshall did $43.5 million box office in 2006. Not exactly box office smashes. Rudy did better on Rotten Tomatoes at 78% fresh critics/ 90% audience versus Marshall 49% fresh critics/ 79% audience. I lived through We Are Marshall, I couldn't bear to watch it more than twice. Too bittersweet.
