Not in America, but internationally the Oscar Buzz clearly helped.
A moderate budget USA film typically gets about 50% of its gross from foreign countries.
“12 Years A Slave”
Domestic - $56.6 million
2013 USA Rank - #62
International - $131 million
Total Gross - $187.6 million
All Time Rank - Did not make Top 600
