Re: Intl. Box-Office: Potter almost at $650m overseas! SD has some weekend numbers, but Fox & WB are still missing: Quote: Sony's Green Hornet rules overseas with $19m hold
The action release added $18.7m from 4,775 screens in 45 markets as the early running total climbed to $37.4m and Australia generated a $3.1m number one launch.
The Green Hornet also landed top in Mexico on $2.6m from 709 and added $2.7m from 616 in the second weekend in Germany where it ranked number two and has raced to $7.7m. A further $1.9m from 460 in the UK raised the tally there to $5.7m.
Sony Pictures Releasing International (SPRI) reported a further $11.1m for GK Films’ The Tourist as that film continued a terrific overseas run. Active on 3,740 screens in 60, the tally now stands at $139.5m.

But SPRI’s piece de resistance in Russia came courtesy of a powerful number one launch in Russia for Very Best Movie 3 on $5.5m from 909 screens.
Burlesque added $3.6m from 1,225 in 35 for $31.2m with Australia generating a notable hold on $1.2m from 203 in the second weekend for $4.2m.

* Tangled added $9.5m from 4,188 screens in 35 territories through Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International as it became the company’s 12th biggest animated release overseas.
Currently on $231.8m, the film is posied to overtake Toy Story 2 by early next weekend. The global tally has reached $418.1m, making Tangled the 25th biggest animated release in history with the UK still to come on Jan 28.
Tron: Legacy grossed $6.9m from 5,929 screens, roughly half of which came from China where $3.5m boosted the tally to $14.3m. The sci-fi adventure opened top in Belgium on $528,000 and the international running total stands at $181m. Worldwide has reached $344.3m.

Megamind grossed $4.4m from 3,147 sites in 60 markets for $164.8m. The biggest total came from South Korea where $2.1m from 565 boosted the tally to $6.3m after two weekends.

Re: Intl. Box-Office: Gulliver's Travels passes $160m worldw Just ok for new movies and mostly poor for holdovers. Though no one has compared it but 2011 is going down by more than 100m week after week where Avatar was strongly holding its line of defence

"Disney Animation's Tangled claimed in its 11th week of overseas play the foreign theatrical circuit's No. 1 box office position for the third time this year, roundly besting Sony's The Green Hornet, which opened abroad more recently on Jan. 12.
Weekend overall for the durable 3D animation version of the long-haired Princess Rapunzel tale drew $23.7 million from 5,159 locations in 50 territories for an overseas gross total so far of $285.1 million, with the worldwide cume at $477.2 million. That makes Tangled the 23rd largest-grossing animation title ever released. A South Korea opening is due this Thursday (Feb. 10).
Tangled opened No. 1 in Spain, grossing $5.6 million from 472 venues, while maintaining its first-place rank in its second U.K. stanza with $7.2 million from 434 sites – down just 11% from the opening weekend -- for a market cume of $17.1 million. Strong weekend openings in Sweden and Norway were also logged.
For its part, The Green Hornet finished No. 2, generating $16.7 million from 5,740 locations in 73 markets, and hoisting its foreign gross total to $83.8 million and its worldwide take to $171 million. The Seth Rogen vehicle, a 3D reworking of a radio series about a masked vigilante and sidekick Kato, opened No. 1 in the Ukraine and in Russia ($3.4 million from 723 sites), and in the No. 3 spot in Hong Kong ($1.1 million from just 42 screens for a lusty $26,190 average per-screen).
Action for Oscar-related titles was mixed. Paramount's The Fighter starring Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg as boxing brothers opened No. 4 in the U.K, grossing $3.3 million from 397 screens.
20th Century Fox opened director Danny Boyle's 127 Hours starring James Franco in 10 markets for $1.5 million from 476 screens for an early cume of $2.4 million (the film has already grossed via Warner Bros. $11.3 million over five rounds in the U.K.).
The King's Speech opened No. 2 in France via Wild Bunch, and No. 2 in the U.K., drawing $4.8 million in its fifth stanza via Momentum for a market total of about $63 million. In Australia and New Zealand via Paramount, The Weinstein Co. co-production generated $1.8 million from 256 spots for a cume for the both markets of $22 million. Speech also opened in nine smaller markets, with the film's overall foreign cume heading north of $75 million.
At 413 locations in Australia, Mexico and New Zealand via Paramount, True Grit grossed $2 million, raising its very early overseas cume to $5.2 million. Fox's Black Swan pushed its foreign gross total to $48 million thanks to a $12.8 million weekend playing at 1,913 screens in 28 markets. Swan qualifies for the No. 4 spot on the weekend overall.
Key continental European markets on the weekend yielded exceptionally high-grossing local language openings, the biggest of which was Rien a declarer (Nothing to Declare) in France, the third largest foreign market last year for the big six Hollywood major studios.
Nothing to Declare did so well that it grabbed the No. 3 spot on the weekend overall.
The Pathe release of actor-director Danny Boon's latest comedy about cultural frictions between French and Belgium customs officers drew an astonishing $16.5 million from 1,036 screens, including $2.5 million in previews from the previous weekend. Boon is the creative force behind 2008's Bienvenue chez les ch'tis (Welcome to the Sticks), one of France's biggest boxoffice hits.
Finishing No. 2 in its second South Korea round was Fox's Gulliver's Travels, which drew $10.4 million on the weekend overall from 2,756 venues in 34 markets, and took the weekend's No. 5 overall spot. The Korea take was $6.3 million from 519 sites for a market cume of $12.4 million. Foreign gross total for the Jack Black vehicle in 3D is $140.1 million.
Opening overseas day-and-date with its No. 2 domestic debut was Universal's Sanctum 3D, the James Cameron-produced underwater adventure, which generated $3.1 million from 591 locations including 16 IMAX venues in Australia and the U.K. The No. 2 Australia opening produced $1.6 million from 219 sites while the No. 5 U.K. debut kicked in another $1.5 million from 372 spots.
Universal reports that The Mechanic drew $1.7 million in its second Russia market round for a local cume of $7.2 million over 11 days. U.K. box office for the Jason Statham action title from Millennium Films-Nu Image Ent. came to an estimated $1.1 million (via Lionsgate) from 310 locations for a market cume of about $3.4 million.
Taking the No. 1 spot in Germany, the fifth largest foreign market last year for the Hollywood major studios, was actor-director-scripter Til Schweiger's father-meets-daughter comedy Kokowääh, co-produced and distributed in the market by Warner Bros. Opening round at some 670 locations drew $8 million. (Title refers to a German mispronunciation of the French culinary term, "coq au vin.") No. 1 openings in Austria and Gerrman-speaking Switzerland pushed the overall weekend take to $9.1 million.
Warner's family animation title Yogi Bear pushed its foreign cume to $47.1 million due to a $9.2 million weekend at some 3,800 screens in 35 markets. A No. 1 Mexico opening drew $2.9 million from 1,056 screens. Director Clint Eastwood's Hereafter also from Warner's upped its foreign gross take to $50.3 million thanks to a $5.4 million weekend at about 2,000 screens in 33 markets.
As a result of a strong showing in German-speaking Europe, Tron: Legacy drew $5.3 million on the weekend from 5,019 locales in 53 markets, pushing its overseas gross total to $203.7 million with a global box office total of $372.4 million. The 3D sequel to 1982's Tron grossed $3.1 million in its second Germany round at some 520 venues.
The top three titles in Italy, 2010's ninth biggest offshore market for the Hollywood majors, were local language productions with Medusa Films' Femmine Contro Maschi (Females Against Males) taking the No. 1 spot. Director Fausto Brizzi's second battle-of-the-sexes comedy opened to an estimated $4.8 million drawn from some 450 situations.
Sony and other distributors' The Tourist drew $3.9 million from 1,985 situations in 53 markets for an overseas cume of $157.5 million. Fox's Love & Other Drugs boosted its overseas take to $58.7 million thanks to a $3.4 million weekend playing 2,256 screens in 40 territories.
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps resurfaced on the foreign circuit in Japan -- 2010's biggest overseas market for the U.S. major studios. Opening market round for the Oliver Stone sequel drew a mild-mannered $1.9 million from 348 screens, raising its overall overseas gross total to $81 million.

Re: Intl. Box-Office: Tangled #1 overseas again! ^ I expect Gulliver to end with about 250m-260m WW (given that it does well in the remaining 50% markets) which would mean it might earn some money for the studios with DVD sales

"Thanks to strong debuts in Mexico and France – where Darren Aronofsky is a popular director – 20th Century Fox's Black Swan narrowly took the No. 1 box office slot on the foreign theatrical circuit over the weekend, drawing $18.6 million from 3,044 screens in 34 markets, pushing its overseas gross total to $72.1 million.
The Natalie Portman vehicle as a ballet dancer in a death spiral was the top box office draw in Paris and suburbs, but finished No. 2 at 300 screens in France overall, snaring $4.1 million. A big assist came from a No. 1 Mexico debut yielding the five-time Oscar nominated film $3.3 million from 360 locations.
A muscular China opening propelled The Green Hornet back into a close No. 2 spot, with an estimated $18.3 million drawn from a total of 8,235 screens in 78 markets, hoisting its overseas gross total past the $100 million mark ($107.2 million). According to Sony, the Seth Rogan 3D vehicle about a masked vigilante and sidekick Kato premiered in China with an estimated $11.5 million generated at 3,905 venues.
The film that finished first over the previous two weekends was Disney Animation's Tangled, which looks to finish a very close No. 3 this time with $17.3 million garnered from 5,198 situations in 52 markets. Foreign cume stands at $310 million, while the worldwide gross is put at $503.3 million.
The 3D animation version of the Princess Rapunzel tale opened gangbusters in South Korea, taking $2.8 million from 185 locations, the second biggest market opening weekend for a Disney animation title. Spain threw off $4.5 million from 611 spots for a market cume of $10.6 million. The U.K. generated $3.2 million from 448 sites for a market cume of $19.5 million. Tangled now ranks as the 20th biggest grossing animation title ever released.
For most of January, Hornet and Tangled have been entangled in close contests for the No. 1 foreign box office spot. But January was definitely a down month collectively for the Hollywood majors in comparison with the opening of 2010, when 20th Century Fox's Avatar was roaring through the foreign theatrical circuit, smashing Titanic's overseas box office record of $1.242 billion on Jan. 23.
Fox reports its last month's foreign box office total was $278 million, which pales beside the $1.06 billion collected in January 2010 – or in the words of a Fox international exec, "like night and day." (Avatar opened in Dec. 2009.)
Nonetheless, three Hollywood majors recorded increases from a year ago. Disney took in $255.8 million in foreign box office last month, a new monthly record for the distributor and nearly double Jan. 2010's figure of $129.2 million. Sony's $206 million tally last month more than doubled the $100 million grossed in Jan. 2010.
Paramount drew $187.7 million, nearly a four-fold increase from Jan. 2010. Universal had a solid opening last year ($98.7 million) with It's Complicated in release, but drew only $30.3 million in Jan. 2011. (Warner Bros Int'l. declined to disclose it January figures.)
New to the foreign circuit on the weekend was Just Go With It, the romantic comedy starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, which opened No, 1 domestically. Debut weekend offshore drew $5.1 million in its opening weekend at 962 screens in 16 markets.
Also, Paramount introduced No Strings Attached, another romantic comedy, this one costarring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher, at 942 screens in 22 territories for a weekend tally of $5.9 million. In the U.K., E1 Ent. opened Gnomeo & Juliet in 3D, the computer-animated comedy-adventure inspired by Shakespeare, at some 800 screens for a No. 1 tally of an estimated $4 million.
Warner's released The Rite, the exorcism-themed horror title starring Anthony Hopkins, at 542 screens in eight territories including Brazil, Taiwan and Argentinia for an estimated $2.9 million. Universal opened GK Films' co-production London Boulevard, costarring Colin Farrell and Keira Knightley, in Russia where the crime-romance drama drew $750,000 from 208 sites and a No. 5 market ranking.
No. 4 on the weekend was Rien a declarer (Nothing to Declare), a No. 1 smash hit French comedy from actor-director Danny Boon. The Pathe release, about cultural frictions between French and Belgium customs officers, grossed $12.4 million in its second round at 1,036 situations, for a market cume of $36.2 million.
No. 5 was Warner Bros.' family animation title, Yogi Bear, which opened No. 9 in France and No. 6 in the U.K. ($2.7 million from 453 sites), and drew $9.3 million overall on the weekend from 4,800 screens in 42 territories. Cume stands at $61.2 million, with a Spain opening on tap this week.
Among other Oscar competitors, Paramount's True Grit had a notable foreign weekend. After opening the Berlin International Film Festival last Thursday, the Coen brothers Western update introduced itself in 13 territories, garnering an estimated $8.3 million overall at 1,747 sites in a total of 16 markets. Biggest of the debuts was in the U.K. where Grit premiered No. 3 with $2.7 million drawn from 384 locales.
The Weinstein Co.'s co-production, The King's Speech, drew about $3.3 million in the U.K. from 575 screens via Momentum, while via Paramount the royal historical drama pulled another $1.4 million from 278 sites in Australia and New Zealand. Paramount's The Fighter costarring Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg as boxing brothers fought its way to $1.6 million at 387 U.K. and Ireland locations for an early foreign cume of $6.5 million.
Director Danny Boyle's 127 Hours has rolled up a market cume of $11.5 million via Warner's in the U.K. Under Fox, the film has accumulated $6.2 million thanks to a $3.1 million weekend at 850 screens in 17 markets.
Fox's Gulliver's Travels in 3D starring Jack Black drew $7.7 million on the weekend from 2,500 locations in 30 markets, upping its foreign gross total to $149.5 million. A No. 2 bow in Germany produced $3.5 million from 706 venues.
Warner's release of Kokowääh, actor-director-scripter Til Schweiger's father-daughter comedy, landed the No. 1 spot in Germany for the second straight weekend, and drew $7.9 million overall from some 1,000 screens in Germany, Austria and German-speaking Switzerland. The cume for the Warner's local language co-production is $21 million.
Disney's Tron: Legacy pulled $6.4 million out of 2,098 screens in 54 markets for a foreign cume of $212 million. Top market was France where the 3D sequel to 1982's Tron opened No. 3 with $4 million drawn from 425 venues. Worldwide gross stands at 381.7 million.
Director Clint Eastwood's Hereafter has grossed $56.4 million overseas to date, boosted by a $4.4 million weekend at 1,800 screens in 34 markets. A No. 5 Australia bow yielded $1.1 million from 196 locations.
Opening No. 6 in France was Metropolitan Export's release of German-made animation title Animals United 3D, which drew $1.1 million from some 500 spots. Also new to France was Haut et Court's release Qui a envie d'etre aime? (Anonymous Catholic), a comedy about a 40-year-old lawyer who encounters God. No. 10 opener was $700,000 drawn from 200 situations.
Other international cumes: Fox's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, $275 million; Universal's Devil, $28.2 million; Fox's Unstoppable, $87.3 million; Paramount's Little Fockers, $159.3 million; Fox's Love & Other Drugs, $61.5 million; Universal's Sanctum, $5.6 million (Universal territories only); Sony and other distribs' The Tourist, $162.7 million; Fox's Never Let Me Go, $1.1 million; Universal's Julia's Eyes, $12.1 million from France, Spain, Mexico only; Paramount's Paranormal Activity 2, $88.8 million (following a $1.4 million opening in Japan at 169 locations); Sony's Burlesque, $45.8 million; Universal's The Dilemma, $16.4 million; and Fox's Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, $83.6 million."http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/b ... intl-99092_______________________________________________________________________________

Re: Intl. Box-Office: Black Swan is #1! "It's open season so far this year at the foreign box office.
Unlike the first two months of 2010 when Avatar monopolized overseas box office, 2011 on the foreign theatrical circuit remains fluid, allowing ample breathing room to a mix of Oscar nominated titles and local-language films.
Taking the weekend's No. 1 overseas spot for the second straight stanza was 20th Century Fox's Black Swan, which collected $17.2 million from 3,735 locations in 39 markets, pushing the multiple-Academy Award contender to a $97.9 million foreign gross total.
Opening in six markets, Swan, starring best actress nominee Natalie Portman as a troubled ballet dancer, opened strongly in Spain ($3 million from 296 situations) and took the No. 2 France spot in its second round there ($3.8 million from 338 locales for a market cume of $9.75 million).
Homegrown films glittered at the box office over the weekend. The third biggest opening of 2011 in the U.K. was British-based Working Title Films' Paul, about British comic book geeks encountering an alien (voiced by Seth Rogan) while on a road trip in the U.S. The title ranks No. 4 overall on the weekend.
Released by Universal in the U.K. and Ireland and co-scripted and costarring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, Paul decisively claimed the market's No. 1 spot with $9.2 million (including previews) from some 430 locations. Paul is well positioned, said Universal, with a week of school holidays beginning Monday.
Opening No. 1 in South Korea was Lotte's release of director Kyoo-man Lee's Children, a crime drama based on the actual 1991 murders of five grade school pupils, a case that created a national sandal and remains unsolved to this day. Debut round generated an estimated $4.8 million at some 520 screens.
In Italy, the top two titles in the market are local language productions with Medusa Film's Femmine Contro maschi (Females Against Males), director Fausto Brizzi's battle of the sexes comedy taking the No. 1 spot with an estimated $3 million from some 400 locations.
Nabbing the top rank in its third France round was Rien a declarer (Nothing to Declare), the smash comedy from actor-director-scripter Danny Boon, which grossed an estimated $7.9 million from some 1,000 situations, a mild 32% drop from the prior weekend. Market cume for the Pathe release stands at $45.8 million.
In Russia, Sony teamed up with Disney to open Vikrutasy (Tricksters), a local-language romantic comedy produced by Timur Berkmambetov and costarring Konstantin Khabensky as a rural school teacher who falls for a worldly Moscow woman played by Milla Jovovich. The title took No. 1 in the market with $4.15 million drawn from 797 screens.
In Germany, Warner Bros. International's release of Kokowääh took the top spot for the third consecutive round, grossing $5.2 million at 762 locations for a market cume of $26 million. Overall on the weekend, the father-daughter comedy and vehicle for actor-director Til Schweiger grossed $6.1 million from Germany, Austria and German-speaking Swtizerland for a total gross of $30 million.
The good news is that the foreign circuit is more receptive this year to varied film genres. The bad news is that collective gross numbers for films from the major Hollywood studios have sharply dropped.
Complete January foreign gross returns -- including an estimate for Warner Bros.; the studio declined to disclose an aggregate figure for last month -- shows the big six Hollywood majors bagged $1,113.6 billion, down 33% from the $1,668.5 million grossed in January 2010 when Avatar was tearing up the foreign theatrical circuit. The studios finished January, in order: Fox ($278 million), Disney ($255.8 million), Sony ($206 million), Paramount ($187.7 million), Warner Bros. (estimated $155.8 million) and Universal ($30.3 million).
No. 2 overall on the weekend, Disney Animation's Tangled, claimed top spots in five territories (Denmark, Norway, South Africa, Spain and Sweden), generating $12.1 million overall on the weekend from 5,210 screens and pushing its foreign gross total to $328 million from 52 territories. Worldwide, the gross take stands at $522.1 million.
The 3D reworking of the Rapunzel tale from Brothers Grimm continues to draw especially well in Spain where the weekend provided $3.2 million from 612 venues for a market cume over three rounds of $14.2 million. In general, Tangle has out-grossed Pixar-Disney's 2008's Oscar winner WALL-E ($521.3) and ranks as the 18th largest-grossing animation title ever released.
Tied for the No. 3 weekend position with an estimated $10 million apiece were a trio of titles: multiple Oscar-contender True Grit and No Strings Attached, both from Paramount; and Yogi Bear from Warner Bros.
The Coen brothers' Western update, played 2,534 situations in 37 markets (opening in 20) for a foreign cume so far of $29 million. Best of the fresh territories was Italy, where True Grit generated $1.5 million from 287 spots, enough for a No. 4 market rank. Yogi Bear, an animation outing, played $4,300 screens in 44 markets, and pushed its overseas cume to $76 million.
No Strings Attached, costarring Oscar contender Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher, screened at 1,820 spots in 32 territories for a foreign cume of $21 million. It opened in nine territories, notably in France ($2.6 million from 292 spots) and enjoyed No. 1 debuts in the Netherlands and Austria. Openings in eight markets including the U.K. and Mexico are due this week.
Opening in 10 markets was Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son, the latest in Fox's comedy franchise starring Martin Lawrence. Debut weekend produced $4.15 million from 727 screens, with a No. 5 U.K. bow providing most of the action. The No. 1 title in the U.S. and Canada, Warner's Unknown, opened at 1,000 screens in 11 foreign markets for a weekend gross of $4.7 million.
Also new to the foreign circuit on the weekend was I Am Number Four, the first overseas release by Disney of a DreamWorks title as per the companies' distribution arrangement. The sci-fi-thriller, which opened No. 2 domestically, drew $3.3 million from 527 locations – averaging $6,262 per screen – in eight overseas markets.
Paramount opened concert film Justin Bieber: Never Say Never in the U.K. for a No. 9 ranking and $1.5 million drawn from 387 locations. Also in the U.K., another Paramount multiple Oscar contender, The Fighter, drew $909,000 in its third round at 377 spots pushing its market cume to $8.3 million.
No. 1 in Australia was Gnomeo & Juliet, which generated $2 million in its market opener via Disney. In the U.K., via E1 Ent., the computer-animated comedy adventure based on Shakespeare nabbed an estimated $5 million in its second weekend from about 450 locations, enough to qualify for the No. 2 spot right behind the home-grown Universal comedy Paul. Overall weekend take including Disney $3.9 gross from 675 screens comes to an estimated $8.9 million.
Opening in Scandinavian markets and also weighing in with $5 million, from 2,381 locations in 26 markets, was Gulliver's Travels, the 3D comedy starring Jack Black. Total foreign gross stands at $157 million. In the U.K. (Via Momentum) and Australia plus New Zealand (via Paramount), Oscar contender The King's Speech bagged an estimated $4.1 million. In the U.K. alone, the historical drama starring Colin Furth has generated an estimated $61 million.
Opening No. 1 in Brazil ($1.9 million drawn from 402 venues) -- and finishing No. 5 overall on the weekend -- was Sony's The Green Hornet, the Seth Rogan 3D vehicle based on the radio series about a masked vigilante and sidekick Kato, which has been playing overseas since Jan. 12. Total weekend take was $8.2 million from some 6,000 screens in 68 markets, pushing the film's foreign gross total so far to $122.1 million.
Sony and other distributors' The Tourist, playing offshore since Dec. 9, was bolstered by a robust second weekend in China ($4.5 million from some 2,000 screens, as per Sony), with an overall weekend gross registering $6.1 million from 3,200 screens in 56 territories. Foreign gross for the Johnny Depp-Angelina Jolie vehicle totals $178.9 million.
Just Go With It, the Adam Sandler comedy costarring Jennifer Anniston, pulled $4.6 million in its second weekend at 1,017 screens in 19 markets, elevating the Sony release's early foreign total to $13.4 million. Disney's Tron: Legacy pushed its foreign cume to $219.8 million thanks to a $4.4 million weekend at 1,958 spots. Globally, the 3D sequel to 1982's Tron has accumulated $390.2 million.
Other international cumes: Warner's The Rite, $10.7 million (after a $6.2 million weekend from 1,500 screens in 15 markets); Fox's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, $276.3 million; Paramount's Paranormal Activity 2, $90.3 million; Fox's Love & Other Drugs, $63.5 million; Warner's Hereafter, $62.8 million (after a $4.5 million weekend at 1,800 sites in 34 markets including a $2 million Japan bow at 292 locations); Fox's Never Let Me Go, $2.3 million; and Fox's Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, $84.9 million.

"Films in various categories of Oscar contention took center stage on the foreign theatrical circuit on the weekend as 20th Century Fox's Black Swan took the No. 1 box office spot for the third consecutive round by grossing $17 million from 3,873 screens in 45 markets.
With its five nominations -- including best actress and best director bids for Natalie Portman and Darren Aronofsky, respectively -- Swan has collected a total of $122.6 million in overseas box office since making its offshore debut on Dec. 9. It opened No. 1 in Hong Kong and Spain, No. 2 in South Korea and claimed France as its biggest weekend market (No. 3 with $2.59 million in its third round at 363 locations for a market cume of $13.4 million).
Paramount's True Grit opened in 19 markets including France (No. 2 with $3.5 million from 397 sites), Germany ($2.2 from 267 spots), Hong Kong and South Korea. Overall weekend at 3,540 situations in a total of 56 markets registered $13.5 million, qualifying for a No. 3 weekend ranking. With its 10 nominations, Grit has collected a total of $47.1 million since opening overseas in Australia on Jan. 26.
Propelled by its dozen nominations -- including a best picture bid plus a best actor nomination for Colin Firth -- The King's Speech has collected via various distributors an estimated $142 million overseas since it opened in the U.K. on Jan. 7. (Final figures are not due until Monday.) Latest round at some 40 markets, including openings in India and Japan, should generate an estimated $12 million, enough for a No. 4 weekend ranking.
Sony's The Social Network, bolstered by eight Oscar nominations, including for best picture and best director (David Fincher), is ending its offshore run that began on Oct. 7 with foreign box office of $126 million. With its seven nominations, including best director (David O. Russell) and supporting actor (Christian Bale), boxing drama The Fighter is still slugging it out overseas with an estimated $18 million collected via various local distributors since Paramount introduced the title in the U.K. on Feb. 4.
An Oscar citation would surely benefit director Danny Boyle's 127 Hours, which opened in eight markets, and generated $3.5 million overall on the weekend from 1,887 situations in 40 territories. The Fox release with its six nominations -- including for best picture and best actor (James Franco) -- hoisted its foreign gross cume to $18.3 since premiering overseas on Nov. 3.
With a single nod (best supporting actor for Jeremy Renner), bank heist drama The Town from Warner Bros. managed a $64.6 million foreign gross since last September. With a best actor nomination (Javier Bardem) Focus Features' Biutiful has grossed $14.4 million since opening in France on Oct. 20 (the film played the Cannes Festival the previous May.)
Focus Features and other distributors' The Kids Are All Right has claimed best actress (Annette Bening) and best supporting actor (Mark Ruffalo) nominations and a total foreign gross of $11.2 million since opening last August in Israel. Winter's Bone, which provided a best supporting actor nomination to John Hawkes, has barely registered overseas via a network of local distributors, grossing an estimated $1.5 million offshore so far.
Dwarfing the foreign grossing power of all other Oscar-related films are the two genuine blockbusters with multiple nominations this year. One is Pixar Disney's animation entry, Toy Story 3 (only the third animation title in Oscar history to grab a best picture nomination), which grossed more than $1 billion worldwide with $649.4 million of the total coming from overseas since opening June 16.
The second is Warner's Inception, which grossed $825.5 million worldwide of which $533 million emanated from foreign screens beginning July 16 of last year and running through the following November. Inception cornered eight nominations, including a best picture nod.
On the weekend overall on the foreign circuit, Disney's release of DreamWorks' I Am Number Four drew $16.3 million from 2,125 situations, including China ($1.9 million from 450 locations) and No. 1 action in a dozen territories including Russia, Australia and Korea. Early overseas cume for the sci-fi-thriller comes to $19.3 million from 21 markets. Number Four ranks as the weekend's No. 2 title.
Ranking fifth on the weekend was Just Go With It, Sony's romantic comedy costarring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston, which grabbed 9.4 million from 2,112 screens in 19 markets, pushing its overseas cume to $25.1 million. A No. 2 Germany bow yielded $3 million from 511 sites.
Paramount's No Strings Attached drew $9 million from 2,625 spots in 41 markets, hoisting the romantic comedy's overseas cume to $34 million. Disney Animation's Tangled has generated a total of $343 million offshore thanks to a $7.9 million weekend from 4,225 venues in 52 territories. Worldwide take for the 3D reworking of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale comes to $538 million.
Racking up $7.8 million at 3,600 screens in 38 territories was Warner Bros.' Yogi Bear, pushing the animation title's foreign cume to $90.75 million. Disney and other distributor's animation-musical outing Gnomeo & Juliet (No. 1 in its third U.K. round) pushed its foreign cume, via various distributors, to $17.6 million after an estimated $7.8 million weekend.
Turbocharged in Japan and taking the No. 1 spot was Fox's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which opened to $6.4 million from about 1,000 venues (83% of the gross came from 3D sites). Foreign cume overall stands at $284.1 million.
Universal's British comedy Paul generated $3.6 million from 440 sites in the U.K., enough for a No. 2 market ranking. U.K. cume is $16.7 million. Paramount's Justin Bieber: Never Say Never drew $2.8 million from 841 locations in five markets including solid Brazil and Argentina openings. Early cume for the concert film is $5.3 million.
Other international cumes: Warner's Hereafter, $68.3 million; Pathe's Nothing to Declare, $55.3 million in France only and still No. 1 in the market; Fox's Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son, $13 million over 10 days of foreign release (after a $6 million weekend 1,717 screens in 22 markets); Fox's Gulliver's Travels, $165 million (after a $5.8 million weekend from 2,422 venues in 25 territories); Sony's The Green Hornet, $127.9 million; Fox's Love & Other Drugs, $64.4 million; Sony's The Tourist, $183.8 million; Fox's Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, $85.5 million; Sony's Tricksters, $9.9 million in two rounds in Russia only; Paramount's Morning Glory, $18.8 million; and Warners' Unknown, $12.6 million in territories handled by Warners only.

"A generally anemic year so far on the foreign theatrical circuit continued on the weekend as Paramount's much-anticipated Rango scored a No. 1 opening at the overseas box office but with a less-than-lofty gross of $16.5 million drawn from 3,815 screens in 33 markets.
No first-place box office title this year has logged an opening weekend gross of more than $27 million overseas. As a result, foreign box office for the six American majors through February collectively dipped 31% from 2010 (when Avatar was roaring through its offshore release).
A droll animation western directed by Gore Verbinski, with the title character voiced by Verbinski's Pirates of the Caribbean cohort Johnny Depp, Rango boasted of No. 1 openings in the U.K. and Ireland ($3.1 million from 472 locations), Mexico ($2.7 million from 511 venues), Spain ($1.9 million from 369 spots) and Argentina ($450,000 from 106 situations).
Overall, the Rango openings bested in many markets those of Megamind, a DreamWorks Animation title that Paramount opened overseas last Oct. 28, and which has accumulated a foreign gross total of $171.1 million so far. Rango, also the No. 1 domestic opener, bows this week in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and Italy.
Premiering No. 4 on the weekend was The Adjustment Bureau, Universal's drama-romance starring Matt Damon, which took in $10.5 million from 1,957 locations in 21 markets. Universal says the opening weekend figure was the biggest for a Damon vehicle since the $30 million bow 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum, and was bigger than the $9 million opening of 2002's Bourne Identity.
Bureau's No. 2 bow in the U.K. produced $2.4 from 438 spots while its No. 2 Australia opener yielded $1.9 million from 219 locations. The film also opened No. 2 in the U.S. and Canada. Debuts in 10 foreign territories are scheduled this week including Germany.
Hall Pass, the New Line/Warner Bros.' comedy from the Farrelly brothers (Bobby and Peter) starring Owen Wilson, premiered in five overseas markets for $2.3 million from 443 screens. Almost all the action came from the film's No. 1 Australia opening ($2 million from 305 screens).
DreamWorks' sci-fi thriller I Am Number Four, which finished No. 1 last stanza and ranks No. 3 this time, came in with $12 million drawn from 4,184 screens in 26 territories. (Disney is distributing the film overseas.) Nearly a quarter of Four's overseas box office total ($42.1 million) comes from the film's strong China run, which generated $3.7 million from 1,200 locations on the weekend for a market cume of $9.4 million.
Placing a close second on the weekend was 20th Century Fox's Black Swan, which won a Best Actress Oscar for Natalie Portman, and which grossed $15.6 million from 3,959 screens in 45 markets. A No. 1 second weekend in Korea provided $2.4 million from 351 sites for a market cume of $6.3 million. Overall international gross total stands at $147.6 million.
Paramount's True Grit, No. 5 on the weekend, delivered $8 million from 3,063 in 57 territories hoisting the Coen brothers' Western update's foreign cume to $61 million. Of that number, $7.1 million comes from France, where Grit grabbed $2.1 million on the weekend from 404 situations.
Complete returns for both The King's Speech and Gnomeo & Juliet will not be received until Monday but Paramount said Speech drew $1.3 million from 307 screens in Australia and New Zealand for a combined market cume of $30.1 million. Disney puts the overseas cume of Gnomeo from all distributors at $29.1 million of which $12.5 million comes from markets handled by Disney.
Sony's Just Go With It, the romantic comedy costarring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, drew $7.3 million from 2,070 screens in 33 territories for a foreign cume so far of $35.1 million. Biggest markets are the U.K. (cume $9 million), Mexico ($6.65 million) and Germany ($5.8 million). A Brazil bow generated $1.75 million from 283 sites.
Paramount's No Strings Attached costarring Portman opposite Ashton Kutcher pushed its overseas gross total to $44.6 million thanks to a $7 million weekend at 2,835 screens in 43 markets. A Russia opening delivered $1.9 million from 430 sites. In France, the romantic comedy has accumulated $6.6 million so far.
Japan engagements usually come late in most films' release cycles but the payoff is often worth the wait. Sony and other distributors' The Tourist opened at 349 screens in the market on the weekend and drew $3.75 million. Weekend in toto provided $5.1 million from 2,580 situations in 35 markets. Foreign cume stands at $191 million.
Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son, the latest in Fox's comedy series starring Martin Lawrence in drag, opened in 11 markets and pulled $4.8 million overall from 2,368 screens in 32 markets for an international cume of $19.7 million. Disney Animations's 3D reworking of Brother Grimm, Tangled, grossed $4.4 million from 3,535 venues in 52 territories in its 14th weekend of overseas playoff. Overseas cume stands at $350.5 million, and its worldwide take comes in at $546.3 million.
Another strong Japan run, this one for Fox's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, generated $4.16 million from 910 locations for a market cume of $14.5 million over two rounds. Weekend overall provided $4.37 million from 975 screens in three territories. Cume stands at $293.6 million.
Universal's release of British-made comedy Paul generated $2 million in its France opening at 280 sites while the weekend overall in three territories provided $4.2 million at 676 locations for an international cume of $22.1 million.
Still No. 1 in France in its fifth round is Pathe's hit comedy Rien a declarer (Nothing to Declare), which generated $3.7 million on the weekend at 950 sites for a market cume of $61.4 million. Fox's Gulliver's Travels in 3D starring Jack Black came up with $3.4 million from 2,115 situations in 21 territories for an overseas gross total of $171 million.
Other international cumes: Warner and other distributor's Drive Angry, $7.5 million (after a $4.6 million weekend from some 1,600 screens in 18 Warners territories); Fox's 127 Hours, $21.2 million (Fox territories only); Warner's Yogi Bear, $97 million; Paramount's Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, $6.5 million; Warner's The Rite, $25.2 million; Disney's Tron: Legacy, $224.9 million; Warner's Unknown, $18.4 million; Fox's Conviction, $2.57 million; Sony's The Green Hornet, $128.4 million; and Warner's Hereafter, $71.1 million."http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/r ... -at-164819

Re: Intl. Box-Office: Black Swan close to $150m overseas! Narnia will hit 400 million soon, Tron is gonna be close.
Gulliver keeps on chugging, and Rango looks like even with its softer US debut, it can hit 300 WW

"In a drab box office stanza on the foreign theatrical circuit – down a full 60% from the 2010’s comparable weekend largely due to Japan’s earthquake ordeal – Paramount’s Rango claimed the No. 1 spot, snaring $23 million from 4,963 locations in 46 markets, and pushing its early overseas gross total to $46 million.
The good news is that theatrical exhibition continued in more or less reasonable fashion in those parts of Japan not affected by the earthquake.
Disney said it went ahead with its market opening of Tangled at 156 screens “despite the ongoing tragic conditions.” Reported two-day gross for the 3D reworking of the Rapunzel tale came in at $1.6 million.
Given Disney animation’s traditional popularity in Japan, that gross return is but a small fraction of what the Tangled opening would have provided under normal conditions. Still, the Japan return generated nearly half of Tangled’s total return of $3.5 million in its 15th weekend of foreign release at 2,539 screens. The film’s offshore gross totals $354.8 million, and its worldwide tally is $551.5 million.
Sony reported that The Tourist took in $1.3 million in Japan, a 65% box office drop in its second weekend at 217 screens. So far the romantic thriller costarring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie -- which began its foreign run early last December -- has pulled an estimated $9.2 million out of Japan since its bow there on March 5. The weekend overall for The Tourist registered $2.2 million from 1,089 screens in 28 markets for a foreign cume of $198 million.
The King’s Speech, which opened in Japan on Feb. 26, dropped from No. 4 to No. 7 in the market on the weekend via Gaga Communications. Reliable figures for the Oscar winner won’t be available until Monday. Speech has grossed a total of about $6 million in Japan, and is bidding to break the $200 million foreign gross mark overall.
20th Century Fox reported that The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader -- which had been having a triumphant Japan run at the conclusion of a lengthy overseas campaign – managed to draw $1.49 million from 548 locations, with most of the business coming from southern Japan. Treader has pulled nearly $19 million out of Japan since opening there on Feb. 25. The film’s overseas cume stands at $298 million.
Although DreamWorks Animation’s Megamind had been listed on some overseas schedules as a March 12 opener in Japan, distributor Paramount said the film did not premier in the market on the weekend. Furthermore, said Andrew Cripps, president of Paramount Pictures Int’l., the 3D animation title -- winding an overseas campaign begun in October of 2010 -- “will not release there.”
Meanwhile, Paramount’s Rango, an animation western directed by Gore Verbinsky, with the title character voiced by Johnny Depp, opened in 13 markets, finishing No. 1 in Australia ($2.6 million from 235 spots), in Italy ($2.1 million from 378 situations) and in New Zealand. Leading newcomer was Brazil ($2.7 million from 244 sites) while biggest holdover territory was the U.K. ($2.6 million from 471, a mild 5% drop from last round, for a market cume of $6 million).
Sony’s Battle: Los Angeles opened No. 2 overseas by grossing $16.7 million from 2,992 screens in 33 markets. Known in many overseas markets as World Invasion, the Columbia Pictures-Relativity Media sci-fi outing pitting U. S. Marines against invading aliens premiered No. 1 in at least 10 markets, and picked up a per-screen average of $5,581 overall.
Top three markets for were Russia ($4.6 million from 655 venues), South Korea ($3.6 million from 424 sites) and the U.K. ($3 million from 549 locations). Battle: Los Angeles also opened No. 1 domestically on the weekend.
Premiering in 14 mostly smaller foreign markets, Disney’s Mars Needs Moms drew $2.1 million from 756 screens, with Russia accounting for $1.2 million from 345 locations. The animation saga about a boy’s effort to rescue his kidnapped-by-Martians mother opened No. 5 domestically. A Mexico bow is due this week.
Third on the weekend was of Torrente 4, the latest in a Spanish-language series of dark action comedies masterminded by actor-director Santiago Segura, who plays the title character, Jose Luis Torrente. Coproduced by Amiguetes Ent. and Antena 3 Films, the Warner Brother pickup drew $11.5 million in its Spain opener at 910 screens.
No. 4 was Fox’s Black Swan, the Natalie Portman best actress Oscar vehicle, collecting $10.3 million from 3,977 screens in 44 territories, hoisting its overseas gross total to $165 million. No. 5 was The Adjustment Bureau, Universal’s drama-romance costarring Matt Damon, which registered $8.9 million from 2,629 sites in 32 territories for an early foreign cume of $24 million. Bureau opened in 31 markets with Germany providing $1.4 million from 341 locations.
Warner’s The Rite, the exorcism-themed outing starring Anthony Hopkins, opened No. 1 in France ($2.76 million from 237 sites) and drew $7.75 million overall on the weekend from 2,100 screens in 38 markets. Overseas cume stands at $35.2 million.
DreamWorks’ I Am Number Four, the sci-fi-thriller released overseas via Disney, took $7.5 million on the weekend from 4,106 screens in 28 markets for a foreign gross total of $57.3 million, which Disney said “represents 55% of our potential result.” Nearly a quarter of the total ($14 million) comes from China.
Sony’s Just Go With It, the comedy costarring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, has grossed $45.6 million overseas so far thanks to a $6.4 million weekend at 1,835 screens in 34 markets. Opening in nine markets, comedy Hall Pass from Warners drew $5.3 million from 1,453 locations in 13 territories for an early overseas cume of $8.4 million.
Tying at $4.5 million apiece were two Paramount releases: The Coen brother’s True Grit, playing 2,420 sites in 58 markets for a foreign cume of $67.5 million; and romantic comedy No Strings Attached, playing 2,129 locations in 43 territories for a cume of $53.5 million.
Fox’s Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son starring Martin Lawrence laughed all the way to $3.36 million from 2,038 situations in 35 territories for a foreign cume of $25.7 million. Universal’s British-made comedy Paul opened in Germany ($1.4 million from 341 sites) and drew $2.5 million on the weekend overall from 692 dates in four markets. Cume stands at $25.7 million.
Other international cumes: Pathe’s comedy Le Marquis, $2.1 million in No. 2 France opener at 400 sites; Fox’s 127 Hours, $22.8 million (Fox territories only); Paramount’s Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, $9.5 million; Fox’s Gulliver’s Travels, $173.8 million; Fox’s Conviction, $2.97 million; and Pathe’s Nothing to Declare, $64.2 million."http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/j ... nal-167167_______________________________________________________________________________
