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

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.
