Live Poll: Worldwide Blockbusters That Lack Domestic Appeal
These select movies accomplished what few films ever have; they became international hits with relatively meager box office contributions from American and Canadian moviegoers. Despite wide domestic theater releases, all accumulated 25% or less of their total worldwide box office from North American audiences. In spite of this, all these films raked in at least $250 million in worldwide ticket sales. In comparison, most blockbuster movies typically get a kick start of about 35-55% of their worldwide gross from North American moviegoers alone. Source: Box Office Mojo Which of these worldwide blockbusters* with more appeal to global audiences than North American ticket buyers is the best? * limit one domestic wide release movie per franchise See the partial list of international movie blockbusters not favored by North American (domestic) moviegoers here: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls069799571/ Poll: https://www.imdb.com/poll/NXpVYq7qaE8/

Honorable Mentions Top 500 International Box Office Blockbusters with a minimum $250 million worldwide Box Office and below 25% cut-off, but either had less than a 700 North American theater count or 5.4 or below IMDb rating. These movies did not fit the poll parameters, despite failing to have a substantial domestic box office. The reason for a weak North American box office, rather than having appeal to North American audiences and tastes, the movies simply weren't very good or had no opportunity due to limited distribution. Sub 5.5 IMDb rated un-American movies 22.1% A Good Day to Die Hard 3553 theaters 20.4% The Smurfs 2 3867 theaters 13.0% xXx: The Return of Xander Cage 3651 theaters Limited North American release (less than 700 theaters) un-American movies 00.6% The Mermaid (Mei ren yu) 106 theaters 02.9% The Intouchables 194+ theaters 01.2% Your Name. 311 theaters 00.0% Monster Hunt 45 theaters 00.5% Mojin: The Lost Legend 34 theaters 00.5% Lost in Hong Kong 27 theaters 00.1% Kung Fu Yoga 34 theaters
