That movie illustrates my point, though. Domestic box office for Get Out was $175m with foreign receipts coming in at just $77m.
Compare that to Guardians of the Galaxy, with domestic box office of $333m and foreign box office of $440m. They made more money outside the US than in, with China topping the totals.
Sure, you can still make money with a movie aimed at the domestic audience, but you can make a lot more money with one that isn't.
- lisper 9y agoYes, but you have to look at ROI, not gross receipts. GotG cost $232M to make. Get Out cost $4.5M, so its ROI was about 20x better than GotG.
- georgeecollins 9y agoGet Out is the exception that proves the rule. It is a smart low budget movie that had good box office numbers, but there are dozens of good movies released this year that will not generate anything like that revenue. How about Columbus, Step, The Big Sick... that's just relatively recent ones I can pick off the list, there are a lot more.
