PS: Face-Off: It's the Same Old Intouchables Story

The movie Intouchables (2011) became the worldwide leader as the highest-grossing movie in a language other than English on 20 March 2012, eventually reaching a worldwide box office of $426,588,510. It held the title for the next four years, but now currently sits at number six, eclipsed by five Chinese language movies that have ridden a recent tsunami of growth in Chinese box office receipts. The universally inspirational story has since been adapted in different languages around the globe with more remakes to come.
