International Grosses Outpace Domestic Again

The domestic number is no longer the headline.\n\nThree of the quarter top five titles earned the majority of their gross outside the domestic market, continuing a split that has widened over several years.\n\nGreenlight committees have adjusted. Casting, format and runtime decisions increasingly weight the markets expected to deliver the larger share.\n\nThe risk is homogenization. Films optimized for the widest possible travel tend to converge on the same choices.\n\nThe next quarter brings three titles with heavy overseas exposure.
