Talking “Rain Man,” Outtakes decided to track its foreign box-office grosses and discovered it’s surpassed $50 million ($160 million in the United States) and still going strong. A check of Australia, France, London, the Netherlands, Rome, Scandinavia, Tokyo and West Germany indicated that the Dustin Hoffman-Tom Cruise vehicle was far outpacing all other American movie exports in 1989.

Running second, with a gross of approximately $22 million, was “Twins.” Rounding out our foreign top 10 (in order): “The Naked Gun,” “Dangerous Liaisons,” “Scrooged,” Michael Jackson’s “Moonwalker” (direct to video in U.S.), “Baron Munchausen,” “Mississippi Burning,” “Working Girl” and “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.”
