I ate a Topic

How come?

It’s just a bit Amelie isn’t it?

It’s an extremely topical thread.

Mad that Amelie grossed like $30,000,000 isn’t it

Is @anon5266188 still eating a topic, or do we need the mods to update the thread title?

It defies quite a lot of logic, yes

Off the top of your head, can you tell me three other foreign language films that have grossed more than $30,000,000 at the US box office?

I can’t I’m afraid.

Don’t worry about it. If you happen to think of any in the future just bump this thread.

My brain keeps going to films that have been remade in American, but surely that’d be very risky business wouldnt it? Can I have a clue?

I was going to just check them when you guessed and would then reply with the US box office takings of the film you’d mentioned.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is one though

Oohh ok!

Crouching tiger
House of flying daggers
City of God

Goodness me I have absolutely no idea what people like

House of Flying Daggers only grossed a domestic $11,050,094 I’m afraid!

City of God is even less at $7,564,459!

This is fun, right?

We really have gone off topic now.

I blame all the snickers digressions upthread. they’ve turned this into rather a marathon read
