But yeah, LoveWaffle, I don't see why you don't just use international values to begin with. Because the domestic numbers usually account for roughly 50% of the gross, are more versatile because they can be adjusted for inflation, is standard across the board (not every international release is the same), and, particularly with superhero movies, are what's used as the bellwether for a film's success. John Carter is synonymous with box-office disaster even if it did make back it's budget when you throw in the international numbers. Nah, it varies way too much to say that the domestic gross is usually roughly 50% of the gross. International grosses can be adjusted for inflation, just a heck of a lot less accurately. The international grosses shouldn't not count towards the box office gross. I really don't like not counting all of the gross towards the gross, you know? Americans aren't the only ones to watch movies, and they're not the only ones to make them either. Even if they do make up a large part of the gross, and make a huge majority of the internationally released films.
