AS THE WORLD BUILDS multiplexes, many movies are now grossing more abroad than they are at home. This year's champ, Die Hard With a Vengeance, drew more than two thirds of its ticket sales from overseas, and several films that didn't hit the $100 million mark in the U.S. did so overseas -- including The Bridges of Madison County, Braveheart, and While You Were Sleeping. And thanks to the international market, even Waterworld, despite its record-busting $175 million budget, may wind up swimming in black ink. GROSS (Millions)
