I'm pretty sure the US would do best, considering how easy it is to get a gun there. (In the sense that there's a gun store in most every town).
God, that Zombie flood thing is scary

Yeah, if you are a screaming, 13 years-old Twilight fan maybe....
The trailer looks like a generic Hollywood action movie, now with added zombies. I think I'll be giving it a miss.
Have read a bit more than half of it. Found it pretty lame. Pseudo-realistic unrealism for dramatic effect (the army being defeated by the zombie because they use the wrong weapons and have too many walkie-talkies in their helmets is hilarious), very clumsy pseudo-internationalist take (trying too hard to give voices to protagonists from very different backgrounds, and, apart from some stereotype vocabulary, they all tell their stories the same way, through the same structures, and dramatic narrative tricks, like "and so we decided to have another coffee, end of paragraph, new paragraph, the first severed head rolled under our feets at 14:06"), and ideological worldview as a background (israel taking all the risks to open their borders to poor muslim refugees who are all so fanatised that they think it can only be a trap).

So, sub-par litterature. Huge success amongst zombie nerds who had never opened a book before, except some star wars or warhammer by-products.

That is true.

US is a very open country and society, compared to israel and Korea, both heavily secured and vigilent against a constant threat, so probably not.

As I've said, zombies are popular for over 30 years now, at least. It's not like there's sudden boom.
