However, I don't like reading that a film "took ten million dollars in the UK." It didn't. It took however many pounds.
If the conversion has already been made, using the day's current exchange rate, then yes it did make ten million dollars. What the article is leaving out is how much it made in pounds before the conversion.
And unfortunately I think this is just one of those by-products of having the major Hollywood studios running everything, and imposing their ways and standards on the everyone.
I wonder how they do it in India, where movies are a large, flourishing industry even greater than in Hollywood. Do the Bollywood studios announce their earnings in rupees or dollars or Euros or what?
