There's an apocryphal, unsourced statistic that 95% of the audience of any given Woody Allen film lives on Manhattan Island. At ten bucks a head and a population of 2 million people, that's a gross of $20m - literally every film except Hannah and her Sisters, Manhattan, Annie Hall and Sleeper. And Antz. Yeah. I forgot about that, too. Nobody watches Woody Allen films. We're all required to be aware of them because New York film critics watch Woody Allen films but the average Andrew Niccol film does fifty times the business of the average Woody Allen film and you don't even know who Andrew Niccol is. If you didn't spend multiple years within sight of the Twin Towers, Woody Allen has nothing to say to you.
