It also proves how Hollywood centric the major studios are. Does a film really have to open to huge figures in America to make a profit? No, not really, as the figures for The Mummy prove - $79m US total but $318m from the rest of the world meaning the film made $397m on a budget of $125m. I would guesstimate that again relating to the other thread, Tom Cruise was the draw worldwide because he's about the only superstar actor around in 2017. |
The Mummy did all that without a single penny from me as well!
Tom Cruise is probably the only global superstar/movie star around these days. If you are in China, Chow Yun Fat would be a movie star, but most cinemagoers in the UK would probably say "who" if you mention his name to them.
