The most recent film grossed a perfectly respectable $220 million worldwide, though that number was down significantly from the $760 million grossed by The Da Vinci Code.
While The Da Vinci Code wasn’t Dan Brown’s first novel where the character of Robert Langdon unraveled a centuries old religious conspiracy, it was the book that put the author on the map.
It spawned a film adaptation with Tom Hanks in the lead role, and it was followed by an adaptations of the previous book Angels & Demons, and most recently by 2016’s Inferno.
