![]() ![]() ![]() That’s an even higher overseas split than Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, which earned 91.4% of its $312 million global cume overseas last year. Simply put, the movie earned just $4 million in North America, giving it a record-high 97% of its global take (for a semi-wide Hollywood release) from outside of America. But even under this standard, the sheer domestic irrelevance of Johnny English Strikes Again, a mediocre but harmless (and sporadically amusing) 007 spoof that seems to think the franchise is stuck in the late 1990s, is remarkable. Bean movies ($251m from a $45m domestic gross in 1997 and $229m from a $33m domestic gross in 2007) and Renee Zellweger’s Bridget Jones trilogy ($282m worldwide/$71m in 2001, $262m/$40m in 2003 and $212m/$23m in 2016) or China-specific biggies like The Great Wall ($335m from $45.5m domestic in 2017).Įven the Paddington movies ($268 million from a $72m domestic cume in 2015 and $226m from a $40m domestic cume in 2018) are mostly made for British moviegoers while Warcraft earned $217 million of its $433m global cume in China alone (albeit in a front-loaded run since Chinese audiences didn’t like it any more than we did). And that’s not counting explicitly British productions like Atkinson’s Mr. Over the last seven years, most big studio movies have become even more dependent on overseas box office, with the likes of xXx: Return of Xander Cage, Warcraft and Inferno earning 80%-90% of their global takes overseas. ![]() That was a record split for a “Hollywood” release at the time. ![]() But the spy sequel (which starred a 22-year-old Daniel Kaalya alongside Gillian Anderson, Dominic West and Rosamund Pike) earned another $151.7m overseas, including $13m in Australia, $14m in Germany and $33m in the United Kingdom. Eight years later, we got Johnny English Reborn, which earned just $8.3m in North America. Rowan Atkinson’s Johnny English earned $28 million in North America in late 2003 but snagged $7.6m in Australia, $31m in the United Kingdom, $20m in Germany and a whopping $132.5m overseas. ![]()
