Not a bad article. So, 70% of all box office revenue is now generated overseas. Wonder why that is? Perhaps if they wouldn't create movies that seem apologetic over America, and wouldn't "sanitize" them, more Americans would turn out and they would get a higher percentage of revenues from the US!

Anti-American hollyweird markets 70% overseas and we wonder why the world has a distorted image of America?

This has been going on for years. Remember the "Red Dawn" debacle? They literally destroyed the film's premise so as not to anger China.

The 69% of overseas revenues that mega-hit "Frozen" enjoyed will guarantee Disney won't make Elsa "gay" as the left is demanding. It would cripple their box office in places like Japan, where it earned a stunning $260 million alone.

I am no expert on super heroes, but I didn’t think WW was from the U.S. Isn’t she from her own island nation?

Could it be that overseas has more than 2-1/2 times the population of the US?

Her outfit used to look like it was tailored from an American flag, but perhaps no longer.

Movies based on video games, comic books, and Disneyland rides don’t do much for me - meaning I don’t pay to see them.

Because of all the people who live outside the US but also go to movies?

That said, the Wonder Woman stands to make (at least) a good $150-$200 million in the US just on box office receipts. It's not like people here will be avoiding it.

Are dollars earned in America somehow better than dollars earned overseas?

Gal gadot is a stone fox. I laughed when Julia “horseteeth” Roberts won sexiest woman alive. They must not have seen superman versus Batman.

Yes; originally called “Paradise Island”, but changed to “Themiscyra” in the comics. Diana is the “daughter” of Queen Hippolyta of the Amazons of Greek myth (fashioned as a clay baby and given life by the Greek mythical “gods” rather than being conceived the normal way), and as long as the Amazons stay on their island, they have immortality in the flesh, but when Steve Trevor, an ASUSA officer, crash-lands off the coast, Diana loses her immortality by falling in love with him and insists on going with him to the USA.

Probably the reason that most of the movies I’ve seen over the past few years, have been foreign films.

Indeed. Taking jobs American superheroes could be doing.
