Hero (2004) has taken $177.4 million (£111.7 million) worldwide and $53.7 million (£33.3 million) at the US box office to date.

It is often thought that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) is the most internationally successful Chinese film of all time, earning $128 million (£80.6 million) in the USA and $213.5 million (£134.5 million) worldwide], but although it is set in China and filmed in Mandarin Chinese, the film was actually a co-production between Taiwan and Hong Kong, earning it the joint honour of the most successful film from both of those countries.

Crouching Tiger…is also the most successful foreign language film of all time at the US box office.
