Chicago (2002) remains the lowest-grossing Best Picture winner since 2000 in inflation-adjusted terms, earning $306 million globally against The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers' $936 million. It lags behind #9 Braveheart in historical impact and #1 The Silence of the Lambs in cultural endurance, with 47% of critics citing its style-over-substance critique. The musical's six Oscars, including Editing and Costume Design, enlivened Hollywood but its 81% Metacritic score trails The Pianist's 85%, underscoring its flashy yet thin narrative.
