What to Read Next
Ashton Kutcher's Steve Jobs biopic, Jobs, has beaten Michael Fassbender's Steve Jobs biopic, Steve Jobs, in the money game.
At first, it seems the opposite is true: Jobs earned $16.1 million in the US in 2013, while Steve Jobs is currently standing at $17.8 million in the US this year.
The thing is, the cheap 'n' cheerful Kutcher project only cost $12 million to make, while Fassbender's take - with Danny Boyle directing, Aaron Sorkin writing and Kate Winslet and Seth Rogen co-starring - cost $30 million.
This means that, on paper, Jobs has made more money than Steve Jobs. Things get a little more complicated when worldwide box offices are taken into account, but it still looks like Kutcher wins out on the profitability stakes.
Jobs made $19.8 million outside of America, bringing its total box office to $35.9 million. Steve Jobs, which is still to open in some territories, is currently at $24.8 million, which means a big ol' climb for Fassbender and company.
In short, if you were planning on making another movie about Steve Jobs any time soon, don't.
