Fox Grosses $1 Billion in Foreign Box Office

According to Variety, 20th Century Fox has surpassed the $1 billion mark in foreign box office revenue. Thanks to huge hits like Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the studio is dominating the global marketplace. It looks like a slate of sequels with colons in the title is what it takes to sell movie tickets.

Which of these releases is your favorite? Voice your choice in today’s featured poll.

The other Fox films that contributed to their international success in 2009 were released in late 2008:  Valkyrie, Marley and Me and Australia.

The Oscar host sure is having a great year.
