Action films
Probably the major catalyst generating the most revenue internationally is action films. "The Expendables" obviously has that as part of its attraction, as does Paramount's "Transformers" franchise. The most recent installment, Dark of the Moon, had domestic ticket sales of $352 million, and global sales of $771 million, for a total of $1.1 billion.
A number of people wondered why the films have been so low on dialogue and big on action compared to the initial "Transformers" story. The answer is in the numbers, as international revenue soared while domestic revenue has bounced around.
Viacom and Paramount aren't going to change this because action sequences appeal to most nationalities. Too much dialogue risks limiting the appeal of a film because it may be construed as more nationalistic. Paramount will release the next film in the franchise, Transformers: Age of Extinction, on June 27, 2014.

Anyway, i won't be paying for any more bayformer films.

If transformers nation was solely in the hands of y'all anti movieverse guys then we would probably still be playing with those three step transformation g1 toys that the legs that don't seperate.

Just look at call of duty, its the most generic cookie cutter game on the planet but it makes millions every year. Dont get me wrong im all for action movies and the action genre as long as they have substance, expendables & the marvel movies do bayformers does not.

You don't have reduced price matinees in your area, that blows. As far as success goes are we talking success for the studio's or the viewer?
