Some more:

$25.5m/$168.6m Narnia
$12.4m Gulliver
$9.5m/$118m Tangled
$8.5m/$37.1m Tourist
$1.2m Yogi

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/enterta ... flops.html

Narnia sure did perform well in OS markets and in the end should not be a financial disappointment for Fox. Though I am sure any future movies are out of question.

How many markets did Gulliver open to ? That number does not look great for it.

Awesome for Tangled, it is on its way to bring some money for Disney.
Duh for Tourist and yikes for Yogi....did it open in just Singapore and Malaysia

Some (surprising) numbers are up:

$24.0m/$47.0m Gulliver
$23.7m/$110m Tron
$22.5m/$72m Fockers
$21.4m/$210m Narnia
$14.8m/$146.5m Tangled

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/enterta ... ckers.html

I also heard that Gulliver wasn't released in a lot of markets. Though that is expected as it is well known property like Alice in OS markets. And then near perfect release date.

Good for Tron as well though nothing great. Fockers is doing okish OS similar to domestic performance, huge decline from the previous entries

Narnia is doing great business and the OS total would definitely save the face. Looks like it will cross 350m WW and has a chance at 400m WW total.

Good for Tangled and I assume that it hasn't yet been released in all the markets...from what I remember about 50% of the OS markets ?

EDIT: Just saw the release markets for TANGLED and GULLIVER

Fucking Gulliver's. At least people may spread the bad WOM.

If they don't, fuck them. It destroyed the book has Jack Black playing yet another fat farting retard and is post-converted 3D.

Not everything in 3D is gold fucking international audiences getting as stupid as the domestic one.

End rant.

Blame the Brits - they spent $10.9m since Boxing Day...

I'm in Britain too! You'd think that since it stopped snowing and all they wouldn't go spend their time watching Jack Black fart jokes.

BK you really need to see Gulliver, there isn't even a single fart joke or any for adults all together. The reviews all over the place are calling the movie too kiddy in fact. Fox has made a movie for kids similar to what they do every year during this time. I am not a big fan of Jack Black but it is not justified if you say that he destroyed the role.

The reviews haven't been great but they are not bad here and in the nearby countries that I know of.

Hollywood Reporter:

'Gulliver's Travels' Bumps 'Little Fockers' From No. 1 Overseas With $24 Million

'Tron: Legacy' glides into a close second place with $23.7 million, and 'Tangled' crosses the $300-million mark at the global box office.

The opening weekend of 2011 on the foreign theatrical circuit saw 20th Century Fox's Gulliver's Travels narrowly taking the No. 1 box office spot for the first time, collecting $24 million from 4,495 venues in 33 territories.

Opening in 19 markets – all relatively small except in the U.K. and India -- Gulliver's generated most of its weekend action in the U.K. where it tallied $10.9 million (including previews) from 503 locations. The 3D adaptation of Jonathan Swift's 18th century classic has grossed a total of $47 million in 10 days of foreign release. The Jack Black vehicle opens this week in a half-dozen new territories, including Russia.

No. 2 was Tron: Legacy, which drew $23.7 million from 5,929 locations in 40 territories for an international gross total of $110 million since opening overseas in mid-December. A high-budget 3D sequel to 1982's Tron, Legacy premiered in six markets on the weekend of which Korea was the biggest.

Opening launch there delivered $3.2 million from 250 locations. Disney expected a No. 1 market ranking although Legacy experienced strong competition for the top spot from a trio of Korean productions: C.J. Entertainment's The Last Godfather, an English language gangster drama starring Harvey Keitel; comedy Hello Ghost; and Showbox Mediaplex's action thriller The Yellow Sea.

Third was Paramount's Little Fockers, last round's top box office draw offshore, and the current domestic box office champ. The third edition of the Meet the Parents comedy franchise collected an estimated $22.5 million from 4,683 locations, hoisting its foreign cume to $72 million and its global take to $175.2 million. A No. 1 Australia tally came to $3.7 million from 262 spots for a market cume of $10.5 million.

Fourth was Fox's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which played almost exclusively holdover engagements and grossed $21.4 million on the weekend from 8,095 locations in 68 territories.

Top market was France where it ranked No. 2 with $4.8 million drawn from 739 locations for a market cume of $23 million over four rounds. Narnia's overseas gross total stands at $210 million, nearly two-and-a- half times its domestic cume. A China opening is due Friday.

No. 5 on the weekend was Sony and other distributors' The Tourist, which collected $18.6 million from 3,550 screens in 43 territories. Costarring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, the action drama opened in first place in Spain ($4.8 million from 436 locations), Singapore and Vietnam. Overseas cume stands at $65 million.

Disney Animation's Tangled has grossed $146.5 million overseas thanks to another $14.8 million in its sixth weekend at 3,802 venues in 23 territories. Robust holdover market action pushed the 3D animation retelling of the classic Rapunzel tale to the No. 1 market spots in its fourth stanza in France and in Germany. Tangled has crossed the $300-million in global box office ($314.4 million), the 20th Disney animation title to do so.

DreamWorks Animation's Megamind in 3D pushed its international gross total to $134.5 million after an $11 million weekend at 4,938 in 56 territories. The Paramount release lured $2 million from 725 France sites in its third round for a market cume of $8.6 million.

Also coming in with an estimated $11 million take was Warner Bros.' Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, which played about 6,500 screens in 65 territories. Foreign gross total for the seventh Harry Potter title now stands at $616 million.

Fox's romantic comedy Love and Other Drugs opened in eight territories over the weekend, including a No. 3 bow in the U.K. ($2.4 million including previews from 412 sites) and $2.1 million debut from 280 sites in France for a No. 7 notch. Paramount is releasing the Weinstein Company's co-production The King's Speech in Australia, where the British royal drama drew $2.4 million from a mere 95 locations -- for a robust per-screen average of $25,263 per screen.

Other international cumes: Fox's Unstoppable, $58 million; Universal's Robin Hood, $215.6 million; DreamWorks Animation/Paramount's Shrek Forever After in 3D, $506 million; Studio Canal's Les Emotifs Anonymes, $5 million France only; Universal's Despicable Me, $290.3 million; Sony's Burlesque, $11.4 million; Universal's Un Altro Mondo, $2.6 million Italy only; EuropaCorp.

___________________________________________________________________________

Gulliver looks like it can do over 150 overseas and won't pass 50 million in the states. I don't think I've ever seen an American film do sub 50 and (potentially) hit 200 WW.

Gulliver will join the illustrious group of Australia, Kingdom of Heaven, Bridget Jones 2, Both Mr. Bean films, and The Full Monty.

Well, Kingdom of Heaven did make less than $50 million domestically and over $210 million worldwide. King Arthur came close too, making $51.9 million domestically and over $200 million WW.

Yep Gulliver will cross 100m OS total with about 50% of OS markets itself. It has a chance to make 170m-190m OS total with rest of the markets, and not to mention that there are still big markets going ahead.

As I said before, in OS markets it is a well known property and the movie here was marketed as Jack Black from Kung Fu Panda to attract kids...which did not work domestically.

Fox is really having a good time in OS markets and its movies saw the biggest fall domestically. I don't know but somehow they really manage to get their movies do well in OS markets.

It's not Fox it's obviously the type of movie.

Yes I agree but the type of movies that are perfect for being huge in Summer A-Team and Knight & Day were not as huge. Obviously the marketing sucked for them. Whereas in case of Narnia and Gulliver the marketing was impressive.

Has anyone noticed that Elite Squad 2 has become the #1 All-Time Film in Brazil?

Edit: Forgot Titanic, but still, #2 All-Time.

Wow....very impressive.

Surprised the run is good with great legs that it never came in to Top 10 OS totals reports

Overseas, Green Hornet launched in 35 markets, grossing an estimated $16 million from roughly 3,000 screens

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/g ... kend-72264

I am not sure if it opened in big markets or not but that number for TGH is not very promising.

Good hold for Tangled about 33m for the entire week and ok for Tron with 24m for then entire week

"The superhero film drew the lowest No. 1 weekend gross overseas since Oct., bumping 'Tangled' to No. 2 while 'Fockers,' 'Tron' and 'Tourist' hold strong and round out the top five.

The take from Australia's bow ($1.4 million from 190 locations) was suppressed by flooding in Queensland and Victoria. Dilemma, which opened No. 2 domestically, debuts in six markets this week including the U.K.

Paramount's Little Fockers finished No. 3 on the weekend with $15.2 million elicited from 5,152 locations in 53 markets, pushing the overseas cume for the third title in the Meet The Parents comedy franchise to $134.5 million. A No. 2 Italy opening generated $3.3 million from 340 situations.

Openings in eight markets – led by a No. 2 Germany bow; $2 million generated from 350 situations – pushed the weekend tally of Love and Other Drugs to $9.2 million overall from a total of 2,351 screens in 27 markets. Cume for the romantic comedy comes in at $34.6 million.

Fox's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader claimed $9 million on the weekend from 5,862 screens in 66 markets, pushing its overseas gross total to $258.9 million.
