Dangal’s performance in China presage existence of potential for more business in overseas. A normal Hollywood film earns 2/3rd of its global business outside North America, which is due to the sound marketing of films. A film like Dangal, 3 Idiots, My Name Is Khan or Baahubali can rake in millions from countries like United States, United Kingdom, France, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Australia and so on with well marketed release of International versions. Few years back The Lunchbox grossed $19mn in Overseas, which includes $4.5mn approx from France, $1.8mn in Germany, $725k in Switzerland and so on. Black grossed in excess of $5.5mn in South Korea and continues to perform in re releases which includes $50k Approx this year too. Business is there for films if capped well but for that regular exports are required else these markets remain one or two films wonder only.
