It's been true for a while, but this is the weekend that's definitive proof that North America isn't the most important audience anymore. - Tim May 28, 09:32 10
- but the studios only get a fraction of the take from the overseas markets don't they? -- nm - Beaker May 28, 09:50 2
  - [deleted]
  - But that take is pure profit, I think is the point -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 09:51
- I honestly think that's Disney thinking these days. With so many films coming out, strike when iron is hot. - budice May 28, 09:35 6

    - I was not a fan. I thought it was dreck. -- nm - Diva May 28, 07:21
