Crouching Tiger Tops the List By Acheron, (DT) February 12, 2001 4:44 PM PT |
 (E!) After another successful weekend at the box office, Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon became the highest grossing foreign film of all time, dethroning Roberto Benigni's Holocaust comedy, Life Is Beautiful.
So far, Crouching Tiger... has pulled in $60.3 million in the U.S. Life Is Beautiful reached a $57.1 million mark. By grossing about $5.4 this past weekend, it became the highest grossing foreign film to date. "It's a unique movie that people are telling other people to go and see," Paul Dergarabedian, president of the box-office tracking firm Exhibitor Relations, says of the film's success. "The film hits all the cinematic themes: romance, combat. And it's done with great finesse." Look for this film to grab its fair share of Oscars this year. It has already won two Golden Globes, one for Best Director, and one for best foreign film. Below is a list of the top grossing foreign language films compiled by E! Online news:
