Lately, I began watching Indian movies and I should admit that I really liked it surprisingly.

Starting with India, there are two films which have crossed $200mn worldwide; Dangal and Baahubali: The Conclusion.

 

I usually report Indian films in China without taking the ticket booking charges, but for the purpose of this thread, I will be using the reported gross. Following are $100 million worldwide grossers from India.

1. Dangal: $306.09 million
2. Baahubali: The Conclusion: $271.67 million
3. Bajrangi Bhaijaan: $141.67 million
4. Secret Superstar: $139.91 million
5. P.K.: $120.45 million
6. Sholay (1975): $117 million Approx 

[charlie Jatinder]

Moving to Japan, I have so far compiled two of the biggest films, will do others soon. Spirited Away $396 million Approx and Your Name $380 million Approx. There are 3-5 other $200 million grossers as well.

Great thread! We can use this link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_highest-grossing_films) for the major part of them.

 

But are you sure about Spirited Away over Your Name? Counting also the recent China's gross it's at $350 million, maybe there are some errors in the counts or in the currency exchange?

It is bit weird, how European countries are all pretty good receptive of English films but not vice versa.

[RealLyre]

does The Others (2001) really count for this thread? I know it was a fully spanish production but it was starring Nicole Kidman and was fully or mostly spoken in English! great movie btw

Quote

Peninsula, Yeon Sang-ho’s follow-up to his 2016 hit Train To Busan, continues to demonstrate audience hunger for new blood, particularly such an anticipated sequel. It did a confirmed $13.2M in Korea. It set a 2020 opening day high on Wednesday, and through Sunday overtook another recent Korean breakout, #Alive, which has now cumed $13M there. In Taiwan, Peninsula grossed $4.7M with 76% market share and approximately 2,300~2,400 shows per day. Vietnam, where the movie was in sneaks, did $1.17M, the best debut ever for a Korean title. Malaysia, which opened Peninsula on Thursday, added $955K; and Singapore took in $795K to best Train To Busan‘s launch weekend (doing so on Saturday)
