Foreign markets encourage Hollywood sequels

Jim reviews the numbers: “The first Ice Age does $175 million domestically, $206 million internationally.  The second one does $192 million domestically, $456 internationally.  The third one does $200 million domestically and $700 million internationally.”

That is from the new Lynda Obst book, Sleepless in Hollywood: Tales form the NEW ABNORMAL in the Movie Business.  The book is poorly written but sometimes of interest for those who follow this topic.
