For example, Frozen made $400 M in the domestic market and $873 M in the international market, for a total of $1.2 B (dang!). That's 31% domestic and 69% international. That's the box office, no idea what the DVD/stream brought. Some B grade action flicks get most of their box office from international, many are just release international and DVD.
Not true. Hollywood realized that it's "talkies" were about to go PD, in a very few years. (5-6 years until the Jazz Singer went PD). Silents they didn't care about but "talkies" were another thing all together. The 1998 extension was al about the those kind of movies.
