That's an interesting article which kind of ties in with the chat regarding superhero films on another thread.
It also proves how Hollywood centric the major studios are. Does a film really have to open to huge figures in America to make a profit? No, not really, as the figures for The Mummy prove - $79m US total but $318m from the rest of the world meaning the film made $397m on a budget of $125m. I would guesstimate that again relating to the other thread, Tom Cruise was the draw worldwide because he's about the only superstar actor around in 2017.
