That is a great start. As expected with no competition overseas this will do well till two more weeks after which IM3 will crush it everywhere. It needs to get past $150m-$200m OS before that. |

Oblivion grossed an estimated $61.1 million overseas this weekend. Any concern that Rock of Ages or Jack Reacher might have affected the star's global drawing power are now buried under $61 million. The film took the top spot in 48 of the 52 markets it opened in. The film did exceptionally well in Russia, posting $8.6 million over the weekend -the most successful opening weekend in Russia for Tom Cruise. Oblivion's biggest numbers came from the UK & Ireland ($7.9M), Korea ($4.1M), France ($3.9M), Australia ($3.6), Spain ($3.1M), and Mexico ($2.8M). Universal is reporting the film has conquered the entire Eastern Europe, Latin American and Middle East markets. Oblivion's opening weekend overseas is 22% ahead of director Joseph Kosinski's previous film, TRON: Legacy, which reached a $228 overseas cume. It is a significant improvement above Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher; a 70% increase over that film's opening weekend will surely mean it will beat Reacher's $150 million overseas cume. The film is on par with the opening weekend for last year's Snow White and the Huntsman, which went on to gross $241 million overseas. |

It's a science-fiction movie with a event feel to it. They are, to a certain degree, an easy sell. Whoever it starred, it was going to open well. I'm glad for Tom, and I feel that his star power certainly didn't hinder it, but I'm wondering how much it actually helped it too. |

I think only bigger movies or star cast allows movies to open big so $60m+ OW for this has Cruise's hand for sure. Also not many sci-fi movies are big in OS markets, definitely not THIS big. |

But Oblivion should make at least 350 million overseas. Here are some films with strong sci-fi elements: Tron made 228 million, Thor made 268 million, Star Trek made 127 million, and Prometheus made 276 million. I think that was all the star-less big scifi movies from recent years, exluding Avatar. So you gotta give Cruise some credit here. |

Yep I don't see this making $350m with ease. |

| Post subject: | Re: Oblivion (International) |
It's true that with that opening it should be tracking towards 300 million. But Cruise tends to attract also older crowds - His long-time fans are in their 40's and 50's - and thus his films tend to be leggy, even when the WOM isn't that good. That's why I think it's going towards 350 million. |

I think IM3 releasing close by is a bigger factor this time otherwise I would have said that $350m would happen. |

OBLIVION will drop only around 30 % in Germany, but the small drop is weather related (beautiful summer weather in all of Germany the 1st Weekend, lousy, rainy weather in Mid- and Southern Germany the 2nd Weekend)... |

I'm always happy when weather isn't too good on the weekends.  I hope Oblivion stays flat here.

Movies that have the best chance of getting to China are big science-fiction/action movies, and starring Tom Cruise, an international movie star, will only help it get released here. It's opening on 10th May. |

Bigger drop than expected for Oblivion. It should get past $250m though $300m is not 100% assured. |

Another big drop. It was possibly demolished by IM3's arrival in majority of its markets. Looks like $250m OS is the best bet for it now. |

Meh. All-around underwhelming numbers for Oblivion. |

My local multiplex, per day: Django Unchained showings: 12 Iron Man 3 showings: 9 Oblivion showings: 3 The same happened with Jack Reacher. Are Universal not liked in China or something? |

The openings were quite good but I believe it was obliterated by IM3 in most of the markets. Had IM3 seen a regular sequel jump then Oblivion would have done $250m OS I believe. |
