Chinese grosses passing domestic is a common occurrence now, it's only if it happened in another market that it would be meaningful and worth writing about.

It is more common now but it is not a rule yet. From approx. 40 foreign movies released in China annually, only few of them make more than in their home country.

i think a lot of people forget how big Mamma Mia was. it was the 5th biggest film worldwide of 2008, beating things like iron man, quantum of solace, wall-e, sex and the city, etc

 

There is rumors that it was the most profitable movie of that year.

 

Not only it made 10 time it budget at the BO (and in market with good return), but it was also one of the biggest success of all time on home video and one of the soundtrack best sellers.

 

In November 2008, Mamma Mia! became the fastest-selling DVD of all time in the UK, according to Official UK Charts Company figures. It sold 1,669,084 copies on its first day of release, breaking the previous record (held by Titanic) by 560,000 copies.

it had become the biggest selling DVD ever in the UK, with one in every four households owning a copy (over 5 million copies sold)

 

It is the best selling dvd of all times in some market.

RE6 is interesting in that both China and Japan overtook US gross. Wonder if there are other US movies that got overtaken in two non-US markets.
