12 Blockbuster Films That Flopped In America (But Were Loved Overseas)

4. A Good Day To Die Hard (2013) - $304.6 Million Worldwide

Budget: $92m Domestic Box Office: $67.3m International Box Office: $237.3m Its safe to say that A Good Day To Die Hard is the worst movie in the 25 year-old franchise by quite some distance. Forgetting everything that made the series and the character of John McClane special in the first place, the fifth installment is a generic and frequently tedious shoot-em-up that marks a low point for the once-mighty action franchise. Based on the popularity of the Die Hard brand the movie was still a commercial success, despite becoming the lowest-grossing entry yet at the domestic box office. After opening at number one with a debut weekend of $24.8m, A Good Day To Die Hard quickly tailed off and dropped out of the top ten completely after just three weeks. To put things into perspective, the movie's $67.3m domestic total was less than the original Die Hard earned back in 1988, even after 25 years of rising ticket prices. However, the movie earned almost 78% of its worldwide gross overseas and proved to be immensely popular in the Far East, with China and Japan proving to be the two most lucrative markets outside of the United States. Despite being greeted with general indifference at the domestic box office, the international performance of A Good Day To Die Hard showed that John McClane still remains one of the world's most popular action heroes a quarter of a century after putting on the white vest.
