Germans Love David Hasselhoff/Film: Difference between revisions

Line 88:

* While [[Kevin Costner]] may no longer be the star he was in [[The Nineties]] in his home country, he is huge star in [[Turkey]] as of recently. He has been seen in advertisements for Turkish Airlines, his music has sold well there and he even considered [https://web.archive.org/web/20140125133957/http://www.thefastertimes.com/turkey/2009/09/25/istanbul-calling-kevin-costner-entering-turkish-politics/ taking part in Turkish politics].

* ''[[The Three Musketeers (2011 film)|The Three Musketeers 2011]]'' was a flop in the US. In Japan, it managed to outgross the American numbers and has had very strong legs there. In fact the foreign total to date is five and a half times the amount of the American gross (domestic gross: $20 million, international gross: $110 million).

* While ''[[Battle Royale]]'' was among the top 10 highest grossing films in Japan, it has a major cult following in America. When it comes to foreign films, that definitely says something.

It eventually led to a new video game genre as popularised by ''[[Fortnite]]'' and ''[[PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds]]'' among others.

* Baragon of the Godzilla series is insanely popular in Japan despite only being in three movies (One of which was just a cameo. Though this may be a case where he didn't catch on in America.)

* ''[[John Carter (film)|John Carter]]'' was a box office failure in the United States but set records in Russia.

* It's a known fact that ''[[Titanic]]'' enjoys an enduring popularity in China, as it was one of the first Western-made movies to have struck a chord with audiences due to its romantic plot and themes of overcoming adversity in times of disaster. Some Chinese viewers even went to London to watch the 3D re-issue of the film in 2012 just to see it in its uncensored glory. The ship's popularity prompted the construction of a replica in Sichuan, and they even invited [[Bernard Hill]] (who portrayed Captain Edward Smith) at the launch of the project, naming him the ship's "honorary captain".

* While the 2014 ''[[Annie]]'' reimagining bombed in the States, it was hugely popular in Japan. Same goes with the 1982 film, likely because the Japanese adore musicals.
