There are some notable differences between the Top 100 chart of films at the international box office and the corresponding domestic list. Among them, there’s only one crossover in the Top 5: Transformers: Age Of Extinction, which was the No. 1-grossing film abroad with $845.3M versus its position at No. 5 domestically with $245.4M. Pulling the $301M China gross out of Taoe’s overseas haul, it still doubled the U.S. cume.
But an apples-to-apples comparison isn’t really the goal – it’s still the biggest, but North America is one market and most Hollywood films are distributed in 70+ offshore with each varying in weight. Nevertheless, it’s enlightening to look at how the globe embraced some movies differently simply by ranking (and bearing in mind that some of the top titles on each list have yet to fully fill out their international footprints).
