    I said Avatar's worldwide gross is probably the most impressive thing I've ever seen, so I wasn't calling that into question. I will say that TFA would have come within a stone's throw of that gross if not for a strong dollar versus a weak dollar when Avatar came out. That's why I don't really care or value the international box office. That's one reason, at least, the other reason is international audiences have bizarre taste in film depending on where you are talking about. Europe is a developed continent and has had a successful, thriving film industry since the beginning (better than the U.S. pre-WWII), but China? Forget about it, they wouldn't know a good movie if it ran up and bit them in the ass.

     

    I fully acknowledge if I lived somewhere else, I'd care about the box office there more than I do in North America, but I don't. That aside, though, I do care about the box office gross for any Star Wars movie in English speaking countries. I don't really think much useful can be said of saying, "Avatar made more money in Italy than The Force Awakens." Ok...? I don't really care. Italians have never been known to be huge Star Wars fans, so what? Star Wars is the biggest brand in North America, that's all I know, and all I care about. Outside of that, I have no interest in discussing whether Harry Potter or LOTR or Avatar is bigger in X banana republic (Zimbabwe) or foreign territory.
