NEW YORK, Jan. 5 --- American films dominated the world market once again,
with John Woo's "Mission Impossible 2,"
starring Tom Cruise and Thandie Newton, finishing the year at the top of the
box office with over half a billion US dollars
worldwide. Coming in a distant second was Ridley Scott's sword-and-sandal
epic "Gladiator" with just under 450 million.
Non-American films that did well last year were the UK's "Chicken Run" and
Japan's "Pokemon 2," each bringing in over 100
million worldwide. Local films that did well on the world stage included
France's "Taxi 2," UK's "Billy Elliot," Mexico's
"Amores Perros," Denmark's "Dancer In The Dark," and HK's "Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon." For more details, visit http://www.movie-times.net
