As the summer winds down, we've compiled the biggest movies of the season, breaking each film down by both its international and domestic revenues. Unsurprisingly, all but two films on the list have made more money overseas.
A few take aways:
- Comedies were bigger at home than overseas.
- Fox dominated the summer with three very different sequels: superhero film "X-Men: Days of Future Past," "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," and comedy "22 Jump Street."
- Paramount was the only studio to have a movie hit $1 billion this year.
- Universal Pictures doesn't break the top 10. It's highest-grossing movie of the year so far has been comedy "Neighbors" ($264.7 million worldwide).
