Despite a poor reception in the USA and Canada, Oliver Stone's Alexander is finding favour in Europe.
The movie did poorly in America, which its director puts down to the fact that people objected to the Macedonian leader being portrayed as bisexual.
The BBC reports that Stone recently said: "Sex is a large issue in America right now, but it isn't so much in other countries.
"There's a raging fundamentalism in morality in the US. From day one, audiences didn't show up."
Screen Daily reports that the movie has so far taken double the $34m (£18m) that it took in the US and was number two in the UK box office chart last week, taking £1.2m.
