Less than half of all anglophones will like that less than half as well
as it might deserve, abstractly considered.  How about this?

"titles" : 
           {
                "en-us" : "The Magical Theater of Bob",
                "en" : "The magical theatre of Bob",
                "fr" : "Le théâtre magique de Bob"
           }

In that way, all non-Yank anglophones get the right answers for them.
Of course, you can't always count on such a piece of luck.
