ST Box Office quiz (That's right, you clowns at the bottom of the board!) Question inside. -- (edited)

Posted by Inigo (aka Inigo) Aug 31 '15, 09:51

The linked article says that Terminator: Genisys is the first film ever to cross $400 million globally, but not make $100 million domestically.

They're wrong, though. Not me this time! NOT ME! There's one other film that's done it. Can you name it?

      - Huuuuuge French film. It was treated as an indie film here. -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:05 2

        True doctrine. -- nm - Omar Aug 31, 10:09
    - How the hell did that make $100 million state-side? -- nm - Mop Aug 31, 10:01 7
      - It made $400 million globally *without* making $100 million domestically. - Inigo Aug 31, 10:03 1
        
        Right, that was my understanding in the first place, which is why I thought of a Korean film. -- nm - Mop Aug 31, 10:17
      - Nothing to see here. -- nm* - Jim Aug 31, 10:02
      - Never mind. I read that wrong. -- nm - Mop Aug 31, 10:02 3
        
        It's a bastardization of the thought process anyway. We got the film after everyone else. - David Aug 31, 10:05 2
        
        As China becomes more of a box office giant, this will happen far more often. - Inigo Aug 31, 10:10 1
        
        No doubt. International audiences aren't very discriminating (yet). -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:11
    - Boo. Don't read above, STers. David ruined! -- nm - Inigo Aug 31, 10:00
- Shockingly that film made more money stateside than it did overseas. Right kind of thinking for the answer, though. -- nm - Inigo Aug 31, 09:53 2
  - Hero. -- nm - Shaun Aug 31, 09:58 1
    - ack! beat me to it -- nm - decline Aug 31, 10:00
