However, studios only seem to care about the US gross, so SHR would still be considered a flop.

If that was the case, then the RE movies would be considered Flops...They make all of their money internationally...

Studios definitely aim films at the US audience, but that doesn't mean they disregard foreign profits.

What?

According to Mojo it made only $33,871,454 worldwide:

Mojo doesn't always add up their foreign totals....If you add them up, its right at 40 mil....

Ok, I see it now Mojo can be confusing sometimes.

Huh? The foreign BO total from Box Office Mojo says $16 million, add that to the domestic which is $17 million and it gives you the same result, $33 million. You must be talking about another source.

Click on Foreign on Box Office Mojo and add up the total grosses...Its around 23 mil...Not the 16 it states on the site...

The total as of now is...43,262,722....and thats without certain markets who have yet to be reported and several release dates yet to come....Could get pretty close to 50 million worldwide....

That's not bad considering those certain markets and those several unannounced release dates. Add in sells from DVDs and Blu-rays, then things like movie channels and I think it done decently. Atleast for a $20,000,000 movie. It's already made double it's budget.

Well, SH:R managed to at least not make the list of biggest flops of 2012: http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/12/29/w ... ovie-flops

Not surprising, considering how well the film did compared to its budget.
