Box Office: Domestic vs Worldwide 

The article says that "After its fifth weekend, the film became the highest grossing sports film ever." First, it is unclear to me if that information comes from a trustworthy source. Second, even if the information is true for US domestic gross, there are clearly sports films which have earned higher worldwide grosses. For example, Box Office Mojo reports that Rocky IV (1985) earned a non-adjusted worldwide gross of US$300 million. Lastly, IMDB reports that The Blind Side (2009) has thus far been released only in the USA and Canada... hardly a true worldwide release.
