I can't understand this separation. If a movie makes 200M in the US + 150M international, is it better than a film doing 100M (US) + 700M (international)? Of course not, money is money, it doesn't matter from which country it is. The only way to measure the success of a film is comparing the total worldwide box office. |
I usually look at US box office early on, because international box office is a mess of different release dates and different reporting dates, so you don't really have a good idea about international performance before a couple of weeks later.

I have to agree wit this. China especially because they even postpone movie releases for their own reasons.
