 Re: U.S. Films whose #1 market wasn't the U.S. Corpse wrote: You can probably add Grace of Monaco in the Japan column soon unless it manages a US release (if that still counts  ) If you counted films that never got a US theatrical release, that would add a lot of films, with a lot of markets for each film.

Re: U.S. Films whose #1 market wasn't the U.S. I think we can add Furious 7 to this list.
China: $390,910,000
USA: $351,032,910

Re: U.S. Films whose #1 market wasn't the U.S. Terminator: Genisys can be added to the list. China did it again.

Re: U.S. Films whose #1 market wasn't the U.S. I think it's safe to add Warcraft to the list.

Re: U.S. Films whose #1 market wasn't the U.S. Just updated the China list, which I think has about doubled since my last update.

Re: U.S. Films whose #1 market wasn't the U.S. Nine Lives might make this list with its forthcoming China release. Black Sea almost definitely will, too. Absolutely Anything will. The Shallows might even!
All four movies released on the same day in China might join this list.

Re: U.S. Films whose #1 market wasn't the U.S. Jonathan wrote: Note: for borderline cases like most of the UK entries I'm consulting IMDB, and if they have the US listed as one of the main countries, then it counts - hence how I'm listing the heavily British Johnny English Reborn and not the also heavily British Mr Bean's Holiday; Despite your explanation, I don't get how Johnny English Reborn fits into this thread's premise. With this questionable criteria and the rapid rise of Chinese financed movies, this clever idea for a thread will soon have many more entries as it quickly sinks into irrelevance.

Re: U.S. Films whose #1 market wasn't the U.S. Geostorm is up to $52m in China, and in the US it will barely make $30m.

Re: U.S. Films whose #1 market wasn't the U.S. Eh, Working Title is the equivalent of a US military base in another country.
