After clicking this link: https://www.memphisflyer.com/the-best-and-one-worst-films-of-2022 , scroll down till you see:

"Austin Butler’s performance as Elvis is electrifying.

Best Memphis Film: Elvis

Okay, so it wasn’t filmed in Memphis, and we’re still a little sore about that. But Baz Luhrmann’s epic musical biopic was a certified crowd-pleaser. And despite the … questionable choices made by Tom Hanks as Col. Tom Parker, Austin Butler’s barn-burning turn as the King shed new light on the complicated psychology of the boy from Tupelo who became the most famous person the world has ever seen."

From today's artyicle by Yahoo and entitked "2022 box-office winners and losers: 'Top Gun,' 'Black Panther' sizzle, 'Black Adam,' 'Strange World' fizzle; 'Avatar' TBD

WINNER: Viva Elvis! Baz Luhrmann’s musical biopic was the year’s biggest original property
Forty-five years after his death, audiences can’t get enough of that hunka-hunk of burnin’ love, Elvis Presley. Despite a divisive critical response, Baz Luhrmann’s frenetic tour of the King's life and times had moviegoers dancing in the aisles throughout the summer movie season. Released on June 24, Elvis held its own in the face of fierce competition from the likes of Thor: Love and Thunder and Jurassic World: Dominion, eventually grossing $151 million in the U.S. and another $135 million overseas. That’s the best showing for a major studio movie that’s not a sequel or based on previously existing IP, surpassing the likes of Nope and Bullet Train. And the movie is poised to pull in a healthy haul of Oscar nods, too, including a potential Best Actor nod for Austin Butler’s committed star turn.

Noted African American movie critic praises "Elvis" , rates it his #3 favourite film of the 2022 year


3. 'Elvis'

Baz Luhrmann's flashy, stylish excess sometimes gets in the way of him telling a coherent story. But with this biopic, he strikes the right balance between kineticism and character. It helps that he is aided immeasurably by the presence of Austin Butler, who turns in an absolutely electric performance as Presley.

And the Daily Beast's laud is phenomenal

After the monumental success of Bohemian Rhapsody, the 2018 biopic about the band Queen that grossed $910.8 million and won four Academy Awards, studios were keen to bring the lives of beloved stars to the silver screen. And it’s worked—even Elvis, which was met with lukewarm reviews by critics, went on to gross $286 million at the box office. The feel-good energy of Baz Luhrmann’s bombastic spectacle, anchored by Austin Butler’s spot-on portrayal of Presley, has even seen the film emerge as an awards season frontrunner.

And today's trlrvant Sydney Morning herald's article packs a powerful punch

Baz Luhrmann is another Australian movie maximalist, and in Elvis, he found a perfect match for his lurid aesthetic and anachronistic cultural cross-pollination. Much like Baz, Elvis Presley (Austin Butler) has been called a white-trash provocateur, a corny sentimentalist and a borrower (or even an outright thief) of other people’s work. And his manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks), was a rotten parasite.

The exhilarating vulgarity of Elvis captures its subject where the respectful mimesis of a conventional creative biopic simply cannot. Luhrmann understands that Presley’s transgressive thrill resided in his body: I knew Elvis was a winner from the early scene where Luhrmann weaves between close-ups of Butler’s smoky-eyed sneer, sweaty brow and gyrating crotch clad by Catherine Martin in a pink zoot suit, and reaction shots of girls – and some boys – springing to their feet as if on puppet strings, screaming in bewildered ecstasy.


Moreover, Elvis underlines its subject’s actual musicianship. We see him watching and learning from his Black peers, and live-arranging numbers while vamping with his Las Vegas band. By contrast, many musical biopics are so incurious about where the talent comes from; it’s just always there.

Alongside Presley in the pantheon of 20th-century culture, Marilyn Monroe eternally bestrides a narrow subway vent like a colossus. And many petty viewers watched Andrew Dominik’s film Blonde ..................

Not every swing was a home run. We're decidedly mixed on the frenzied, borderline-parody Elvis (159 minutes), Damien Chazelle's cocaine-fueled Old Hollywood odyssey Babylon (189 minutes) and Andrew Dominik’s agonizingly depressing Marilyn Monroe story Blonde (166 minutes). But at least none of those ended up on our "worst" list.

Wow that's a good income.
How about the money the movie made, makes with streaming and TV?
How about the money the movie made/ makes with merchandise?
And what about the props, was or will there some of them make money with selling?
So there are is still some money not calculated yet?
