摘要：This paper examines the determinants of foreign box office revenue for English language
movies. The sample consists of 449 films released during 2006-2008. Regression results
indicate the primary determinants of foreign box office revenue for English language movies are
U.S. domestic box office revenue, action movies, children’s movies, sequels, Academy Award
wins, and production budget. Specific results include the observation that action movies increase
foreign box office revenues fifteen to twenty-six million dollars, children’s movies add
approximately twenty-four million dollars, an academy award win is worth over nine million
dollars, and the built in audience from sequels add thirty-one to thirty-six million dollars in
foreign box office revenue.
