That's solid. I expect $190-210 million by the end of the weekend.

According to BOM it stands at $211 million OS now.

The pre-weekend number was $216 million BTW.

$245 million after the weekend.

Should be at around 700,000 admissions in Germany after its second weekend (first one got 801,738 in total). That's pretty much the same as Wolverine had after two weeks (albeit coming off a worse second weekend). That went on to finish with 1,008,520 admissions, so I expect around the same for Iron Man 2.

Updated intl. gross - $255,000,000

Worldwide total - $479.7 million

Fourth was Marvel Entertainment's "Iron Man 2," which continues to show real legs on the foreign circuit, collecting $13.3 million in its fourth weekend at 9,208 screens in 61 territories. Of the weekend total, territories serviced by Paramount accounted for $12.8 million. Overseas cume stands at $268 million, of which $260.1 million comes from Paramount markets. "Iron Man 2" opens in Japan on June 11.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/con ... a890f57bb4

I guess $600m WW is still in play...

HR corrected down from $268 million to $260.8 million.

Are you sure that they didn't mean only Paramount Territories?

Must be wrong as the German tally (not a Paramount territory) is 5.9m Euro = $7.3m and the Austrian tally (not a PAramount territory) is 1m Euro = $1.3m

Well, BOM hasn't updated yet.

You were right.

$269 million according to BOM's updated numbers.

$276,000,000 as of Thursday

New number - $284,811,000

It will easily cruise past $300 million overseas.

In UIP`S web,the current gross of Iron Man 2 is 275,136,993(updated today)

Only in territories handled by them, I assume.

BOM updated:

$286,300,000

$288.4 million after the weekend.

With Japan ahead $300+ million is happening OS.

Probably...but only just. I don't expect Japan to do much more than $5m, if at all.

The first did about 9 though, I dont see why it would drop off that much, will most likely go a little higher. And it made about 15 million in China. Id say it has a good chance to hit 295-300 with holdovers, then another 30 million from Japan and China.

Films that disappoint in Japan tend to have a habit of generating sequels that do considerably worse. This is how the sequels faired in 2009:

Hollywood Sequels released in Japan in 2009

HBP: $88.5m [ +0.1% ]
Angels and Demons: $34.2m [ -57% ]
Terminator Salvation: $33.9m [ -50% ]
Transformers 2: $22.7m [ -34% ]
Quantum of Solace: $21.7m [ +14% ]
Night at the Museum 2: $21.5m [ -28% ]
Fast and Furious: $10.2m [ +22% ]
Madagascar 2: $10.1m [ -50% ]
X-men Origins: $9.3m [ -28% ]
Transporter 3: $6.08m [ +220% ]
New Moon: $1.93m [ -24% ]
Ice Age 3: $1.28m [ -86% ] (already fallen 51% from the first, 92% in 2 movies)
Saw 6: $1.26m [ -57% ]
Hellboy 2: $0.812m [ +45% ]
Pink Panther 2: $0.172m [ -89% ]

09 is not a good comparison though as they went through a sharp decline, and apparently Iron Man has gotten very popular in Japan since the last one. We shall see though.
