Deep Impact
"Deep Impact" was released in the same summer as a similarly themed film, "Armageddon", which fared better at the box office, while astronomers described "Deep Impact" as being more scientifically accurate. Both films were similarly received by critics, with "Armageddon" scoring 38% and "Deep Impact" scoring 45% on Rotten Tomatoes. "Deep Impact" grossed over $349 million worldwide on an $80 million production budget. It was the final film by cinematographer Dietrich Lohmann, who died before the film's release.
