Inflation-adjusted worldwide box office, on one global curve, and nothing else. It does not know whether a film was good.

No award rows on file, usually missing data rather than missing honours. Wikidata is thin for older and non-English films.
Critics set the score; a tiered award record, Picture and Directing carrying the most weight, claims half the headroom above it. Praise is the verdict at the time; Legacy is the verdict since.
Judged directly: Bong's breakthrough, rising critical stature.

If it does not belong in this company, the number is wrong.
Legacy is a judgment, not a formula. A film can be adored by critics and culturally quiet, or lightly reviewed and permanently lodged in the culture, and no arithmetic over IMDb numbers tells the difference. Every signal behind it keeps updating.
Added, not multiplied, so a film transcendent on one pillar and weak on another is not zeroed out. A compression curve then squeezes the top, because the seven greatest films ever made should not be four thousand feet apart.
