It's 'domestic', not American, which includes both the United States and Canada. All amounts are reported in US dollars. There's also addition costs associated with 'foreign' earnings. Addition distributors, v/o and subs, rating system costs, copyright, E&O insurance to name a few. The simply fact is for a movie produced in Hollywood a dollar earned in Texas goes a lot farther than a dollar earned in Hong Kong. Same rule applies to Bollywood/Japanese/British/Aussie/any other place movies that are exported to North America. @EnglishGavz: Just to add to Brad's response.

Believe me, at this moment American money is second class money... perhaps even third. All I am doing is stating the facts, not sure why that offends you or how you took it to insinuate I thought money not earned in America was second class. @EnglishGavz: Because it is an American production and deals for foreign territories are not always clear cut.

I'd rather see a forth installment instead of a sequel to MI:3. Either way, I'll go to see it. Could Abrams be the new Paula Wagner? @<a href="#comment-19578" rel="nofollow">Jay Turber</a>: If you made a statement like that about a jewish actor, your statement would probably be labeled antisemitic. Just wanted to point that out. One of the reasons I enjoy the MI franchise is that each film has a unique style, all it's own. I'd rather see a forth installment instead of a sequel to MI:3.

Are they Oscar Bait? Usually; however, they are always enjoyable and often times action-packed thrillrides. Mission: Impossible was great fun and MiIII was another well-crafted tale of espionage. Suffice it to say: I cannot wait for MiIV. Long live JJ Abrams.

He is one of the best actors of our time!!! MI:4 will be just as good as the third installment!
