US movies with higher theatrical revenues from a single non US country than US revenues themselves

[Tower]

With as big as the Chinese market has become, there will be a lot of films on this list. Also Brick mansions is another film to have done this lately in China.

FF7 is the highest grossing domestical movie to make more money in a overseas country. It's also the highest grossing ever in a market outside USA.

 

Seing the explosion of the Chinese market I think we should split the worldwide total into three instead of two: domestical (USA+Canada), China and rest of the world. In fact in past five years (2011-) there have been 12 movies that have grossed more than 150M$ in a overseas market; 9 of these in China (FF7, TF3, TF4, Titanic 3D rerelease and five local titles) 1 in Japan (Frozen), 1 In UK (Skifall) and 1 in France (Intouchables). No doubt that in next years there will be many movies over 150M$ in China and maybe over 200$, and a few in the rest of the world. 

 

However this is not entirely positive for the studios: look at this interesting graph via Wall Street Journal:

 

 

Chinese $ are the lighter by now

Honorable mention. Doraemon Stand By Me continued its surprising run in China this weekend with $13.43 million for a total of $73 million after 11 days of release. Doraemon's China haul has now surpassed its entire Japanese run ($66.7 million) and sits as the third highest grossing animated film of all-time in China behind Big Hero 6 ($84.63 million) and Kung Fu Panda 2 ($94.75 million).
