Top 10 Hollywood Movies Remade From Foreign Films

7 Dinner for Schmucks

What happens if you combine Steve Carell with Paul Rudd. Pure magic. Dinner to Schmucks was released to the public in 2010. However, audiences did not realize that it was a remaking of a 1998 French film.

Le Diner de Cons focuses on an overworked executive trying to make it to the top. He’s invited to a dinner intended for idiots. The idea is fascinating and explodes when Rudd or Carell are involved. 

CBS Paramount Pictures was unable to make up their $69M investment at the box office, despite an excellent cast and Austin Powers director, Jay Roach.

Remake of: Le Diner de Cons

Original Country: France

Worldwide Gross of US Remake: $86.9 million
