[SolutionsOnly]

I'm not ready to form a conclusion on this movie's popularity in foreign countries yet. Scandinavia has never been strongly releigious, so I agree that it may not be be big there. But France, Italy, and Spain, and the Phillippines have always been strongly Catholic. We may discover that religion is stronger in those countries than the media has led us to believe. I suspect that in travelling the French countryside, the people are far more like us than the diplomats we see at the UN.

But France, Italy, and Spain, and the Phillippines have always been strongly Catholic

Don't know the last time you were there, but France is among the lowest in church attendence in the world. Many churches are nothing more than museaums there. Spain and Italy are only stronlgly religious in certain regions (for example, the Basque Country is strongly religious, the city of Madrid is not). The movie will be highly successful in the Phillipines, perhaps the most devoutly Catholic nation on earth.
