I think Bobby is doing no so very bad outside the US. By the end, it'll be probably be not so very far away from making 40-50% of it's take from the international box office. Which is pretty good for a film about something so fundamentally American.
I think Bobby will do moderately well on DVD (in comparison to its theater take). It's hard to get it's target demographic to go out the theater these days. They are only going to go to see perhaps one film of Bobby's type over the whole of the holiday period and unless the reviews are raves, films can just get destroyed and lost. Too many people just watch DVDs instead (I'm guilty of that).
