Noter

  1. ^ a b Sources disagree on the amount grossed by the first film.
    • 1974:Newsweek. Vol. 84. 1974. s. 74. The original Godfather has grossed a mind-boggling $285 million...
    • 1991:Von Gunden, Kenneth (1991). Postmodern auteurs: Coppola, Lucas, De Palma, Spielberg, and Scorsese. McFarland & Company. s. 36. ISBN 978-0-89950-618-0. Since The Godfather had earned over $85 million in U.S.-Canada rentals (the worldwide box-office gross was $285 million), a sequel, according to the usual formula, could be expected to earn approximately two-thirds of the original's box-office take (ultimately Godfather II had rentals of $30 million).
