 Re: Intl. Box-Office: M:I-4 at almost $220 million worldwide I am just surprised why OS tracking for Twilight Saga has stopped from last 2 weeks. I am sure it would have dropped heavily but still would have crossed $400m OS total.

Re: Intl. Box-Office: M:I-4 at almost $220 million worldwide If you add up all the OS Breaking Dawn grosses for the December 9 weekend listed on BOM, it comes out to $7,842,032. Not exact but something to work with at least...

Re: Intl. Box-Office: M:I-4 at almost $220 million worldwide Paramount leads Foreign Box Office with $3.19 billion, a company and industry overseas record; Warners and Disney follow No. 2 and No. 3.Quote: While the major U.S. Hollywood studios faced a fair share of hurdles in the domestic market, offshore box office for “big six” notched a record $13.6 billion in 2011, according to preliminary studio figures.
That’s a seven percent increase from 2010’s record take of $12.7 billion, which marked a 20 percent leap from the 2010 figure thanks largely to the astonishing $1.476 billion offshore take last year of Avatar. While the percentage gain this year is comparatively modest, a new record is still a new record.
“Overall, admissions in 2011 remained constant with 2010,” said Veronika Kwan-Rubinek, Warner Bros.’ president of international distribution. She noted that the appeal of films exhibited in 3D has not diminished overseas, and that six of the year’s top 10 foreign grossers were presented in that format.
The year’s biggest title, Warner’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 drew 54 percent of its total $953 million in foreign box office from 3D venues. Anthony Marcoly, president of Paramount Pictures International, said his studio’s top grosser, Transformers: Dark of the Moon (which grossed $771 million in the year), “saw 74 percent of the international grosses come from 3D.”
Then there was the China factor. Marcoly said the market “proved to be [Paramount's] highest grossing international territory for the first time,” generating for the distributor’s films $303 million in box office this year.
Said Warner’s Kwan-Rubinek, “The biggest growth story came from China, which increased more than 30% to gross nearly $2 billion for the year. China remains the biggest digital and 3D footprint outside the United States, with over 3,000 3D screens.”
The bad news is that the import quota imposed by the Chinese State Administration of Radio, Film and Television limiting foreign-made films to 20 titles yearly remains firmly in place despite pleas from the World Trade Organization. As important, the extremely low rate of rentals return to foreign distributors – on average 15 cents of each box office dollar – also remains the practice.
Said one major studio international exec, who asked anonymity, “China is still a boom town (if you get your films in), but there is no movement relative to quantity of titles accepted or revenue share.”
Paramount was easily the year’s top studio in terms of foreign box office, notching a company record of $3.19 billion – the first time any Hollywood major has exceeded $3 billion in foreign box office in a single year. Paramount’s take was 60 percent higher than its comparable 2010 figure, and 56 percent ahead of the company’s previous box office record established in 2008.
Besides director Michael Bay’s Transformers, Paramount released Kung Fu Panda 2 ($501 million), Thor ($268 million) and Captain America: First Avenger ($192 million). Still in release are Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and DreamWorks Animation’s Puss in Boots, which are expected to notch $201 million and $260 million, respectively, by the end of the week.
Warner Bros., last year’s top-grossing studio beating 20th Century Fox by a whisker, finished a firm second this year with $2.860 billion in foreign box office. It marked the company’s second biggest offshore year ever, down 2 percent from the $2.93 billion grossed in 2010.
Other Warner’s gross generators beside the latest Harry Potter sequel were The Hangover Part II ($330 million), Final Destination 5 ($120 million) and Green Lantern ($118 million). Still in release is Sherlock Homes: A Game of Shadows, which has captured $88 million overseas thus far.
No. 3 of the big six was Disney, which projects 2011 foreign box office of $2.2 billion, down 5 percent from the $2.3 gathered last year, which set the company’s overseas record. Top title by far for the year was Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which tallied $802.6 in offshore box office, more than three times its domestic gross. Cars 2 came in with $368.3 million, nearly twice what it grossed in the U.S. and Canada.
Fourth in box office rankings was Fox, which while it lacked an Avatar this year, boasted of a range of titles that performed at least reasonably well offshore. The studio reported $2.150 billion in foreign box office, down from the $2.92 billion reported in 2010. Top titles were Rio ($343.9 million, nearly twice its domestic gross), Rise of the Planet of the Apes ($306 million) and Black Swan ($222.5 million).
Sony came up with $1.830 billion for the year with live-action/animation title The Smurfs leading the list of winners ($416.6, nearly three times its domestic gross), and Steven Spielberg’s The Aventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn – which Sony co-distributed with Paramount offshore months before its Dec. 21 domestic opening ($265 million). The Tourist starring Johnny Depp scored well foreign, drawing $221.1 offshore of which $140.7 derived from Sony-handled territories in 2011.
Universal reported $1.3 billion in 2011 foreign box office, 9 percent ahead of the comparable 2010 figure. Its biggest title by far was the latest in the turbo-charge fast car franchise, Fast Five, which grossed $419 million offshore. The latest Roman Atkinson comedy, Johnny English 2, did well foreign grossing $154 million while surprise comedy hit Bridesmaids took in an impressive (comedies often don’t travel well overseas) $119 million.
Key independent Summit Entertainment says it grossed $753.7 million on the foreign theatrical circuit this year, with the latest in its girl-loves-vampire sequel, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, generating an estimated $410 million of the total. Summit also said that Cannes Festival top prize-winner, Tree of Life, has grossed $48 million offshore to date (including territories handled by Fox and other distributors.)
An interesting aspect of the 2011 overseas was the accelerated pace of major studio acquisitions of local-language product playing in various offshore markets. Notably successful in this regard was Universal release of Office Romance in Russia, which grossed $12 million; and Sony’s handling in the same market of Vysotsky: Thank God I’m Alive, a biopic of a legendary Russian figure, which has drawn $27 million so far in Russia alone.

Re: Intl. Box-Office: M:I-4 at almost $220 million worldwide No numbers have been released yet (should be in the next week or two), but the Japan Box Office is looking to dip 20% from 2010 to about $2.1/2.2 billion for the year, just barely ahead of China for at least one more year it seems. As for the Local vs Foreign film ratio, Japanese Films will beat Imported Films for the fourth consecutive year with 53/54%.
Thankfully, 2012 has several bigger releases than 2011, so a good increase is likely next year.
2010 was the biggest year on record ($2.66 billion).

Re: Intl. Box-Office: M:I-4 at almost $220 million worldwide You realize Japan had a devastating earthquake and Tsunami, it was going to drop no matter what. 20% is actually much less than I would have thought. It should have a huge increase this year.

Re: Intl. Box-Office: M:I-4 at almost $220 million worldwide for those that like to compare movies in terms of ticket sales the site below is great (if not slow at updating....) http://lumiere.obs.coe.int/web/film_info/?id=34893shows the trends better than just looking at box office gross, also tracks movies years after box office returns cease being tracked, in terms of tickets sold. e.g. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 60,466,697 tickets Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 32,894,504 tickets

Re: Intl. Box-Office: M:I-4 at almost $220 million worldwide Quote: Warner Bros' Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows won the international box office battle this weekend, earning an estimated $43.4M from 50 markets, which includes 12 new markets.
The Guy Ritchie-directed action adventurer opened in pole position in Australia ($6.5M) and Spain ($4.9M) and held on to top spots in Germany ($3.3M) and Russia ($7.1M). The film has now cumed $177.2M overseas, and looks set to top its predecessor's $315M overseas run, with major markets like Argentina, Brazil, China, France and Japan still to open.
Proving that chipmunks can be leggy too, Fox’s Alvin & The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked had its best showing yet, grossing an impressive $30.1M, which was a 24% increase from last week, from 7,120 screens in 62 markets, bringing the international total to $128.4M.
The kiddie flick opened strongly in Brazil ($6.7M), Italy ($5.2M) and Argentina ($331K) and held up well in Australia ($3.7M), Russia ($1.8M), Germany ($1.7M), the UK ($1.4M), Holland ($1.2M), France ($1M) and Belgium ($905K).
After leading the international box office for three straight weekends, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol falls two spots to No. 3, earning an estimated $287.9M from 7,071 outlets in 55 markets.
The Paramount film’s sole opening this week was in Argentina, where Tom Cruise sprinted to a $899K first-place debut. Elsewhere, the actioner enjoyed strong holds in Japan (No. 1 for a fourth weekend with $3.5M, down 18%), Korea (No. 1 for a fourth weekend with $3.2M, down 59%), UK and Ireland (No. 1 for a third weekend with $3.7M, up 2%), Germany ($2.1M, up 11%) and Brazil ($1.8M, up 67%).
Shrek spinoff Puss In Boots earned $18.2M from 5,779 screens in 52 territories. The Paramount-distributed film has been a great success internationally, as it officially crosses the $300M mark to cume a total of $311.6M thus far.
Beginning its international run late is Warner Bros' J.Edgar, which bows to $6.1M in six markets. In Italy, the Leonardo Dicaprio film about the infamous FBI chief debuted at a strong No. 2 with $4.4M. Upcoming key markets to open include France (Jan 11), Germany (Jan 19) and the UK (Jan 20).
Horror film The Darkest Hour opened in 17 markets this weekend and earned $5.6M from 2,487 screens in 30 markets, lifting its international cume to $16.2M. Next week, the Fox movie will expand to France, Holland, Mexico, Spain and the UK.
Warner Bros' New Year's Eve took in $5.3M from 56 markets, bringing its overseas total to $80M.
Opening first in its native UK, Fox’s Oscar hopeful The Iron Lady bowed in third place to an excellent $3.4M from 461 screens.
Martin Scorsese’s Hugo earned $2.9M from 723 location in three markets – Russia and Ukraine, where it premiered, and a third week in Belgium. The Paramount film opened with $2.5M from 593 venues in Russia. The film’s overseas cume is $3.7M.
Fox’s We Bought A Zoo added one new market but dropped 50% to gross $2.6M from 1,278 screens in 14 markets. The Matt Damon-led family movie’s international cume now stands at $13.5M.
Also grossing $2.6M from 546 locations in 13 Paramount-distributed markets is The Adventures of Tintin. The cume in these territories now stands at $69.5M.
In its second weekend of release, Disney’s War Horse grossed $2.0M in four territories that represented 9% of the market. Clearly, this will be a slow and steady race for the equine movie.
The Muppets, increased 40% in its seventh week of release to earn $700K. The Disney production was boosted by expansions in four new markets, bringing its total market count to 17, representing 17% of the international market.
Winding up a successful run is Fox’s In Time, which added another $752K from 773 screens in 10 markets, lifting its international total to $105.4M. not the best opening for the iron lady in uk when you take in the amount of publicity its been getting for past couple weeks, wonder if it will have legs - they say the story is rubbish but acting is great

Re: Intl. Box-Office: M:I-4 at almost $220 million worldwide different article with more numbers Foreign Film Universe Totaled $20 Billion In 2011Quote: Foreign Box Office: Second 'Sherlock Holmes' Dethrones Fourth 'Mission: Impossible' As No. 1 Attraction Overseas
"Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked" Surges to Weekend's No. 2 Title; Foreign Film Universe Totaled $20 Billion In 2011.
That Holmes-Watson duo dethroned a skyscraper-scaling Tom Cruise on the weekend as Warner Bros.’ Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows claimed the foreign theatrical circuit’s No. 1 box office spot for the first time with a weekend tally of $43.4 million drawn from 50 offshore markets.
our editor recommends
Strong No. 1 openings in Australia ($6.5 million at 254 locations) and in Spain ($4.9 million from 367 spots) helped thrust director Guy Ritchie’s sequel costarring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law to the top. In all, Shadows opened in a dozen fresh territories, lifting its foreign gross total to $177.2 million.
Warner said the sequel has grossed nearly $25 million more than the original 2009 Sherlock Holmes “for the same markets at the same point in time of release.” Openings in Argentina, Brazil and China are on tap this week.
No. 2 on the weekend was 20th Century Fox’s Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, which claimed $30.1 million from 7,120 sites in 62 markets, and pushed its overseas gross total to $128.4 million. A first-place Brazil finish drew $6.7 million from 541 locations for the third installment of the computer animation franchise about singing chipmunks.
Falling to No. 3 on the weekend -- after three weekend in the foreign circuit’s top spot -- Paramount’s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol has logged total foreign box office of $287.9 million since it opened overseas on Dec. 14. The weekend generated $27.7 million from 7,071 situations in 55 territories with a No. 1 Argentina opening ($899,000 from 101 spots) sparking the action.
The high-octane sequel starring Tom Cruise remained No. 1 in holdovers in such key markets as the U.K. ($3.7 million from 521 sites), Japan ($3.5 million from 344 spots) and in Korea ($3.2 million from 649 locations).
Fox opened The Iron Lady, the biopic of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher starring Meryl Streep, in the No. 3 spot in the U.K. Debut for the Pathe/Film 4/Canal Plus coproduction came up with a weekend tally of an estimated $3 million from some 445 locations.
The International box office universe – covering revenues for major Hollywood studio releases plus non-studio-related local-language productions – reached $20 billion in 2011, according to figures compiled by Fox International. (Of that, the major studios logged a combined total of $13.5 billion, a new record.)
The 2010 international box office total was $18.5 billion, as per Fox. Local-language market action was particularly strong last year in France, Korea and Japan. The 2011 box office surge in China was largely attributed to U.S. imports.
A trio of foreign-generated productions grossed more than $100 million last year overseas. Oscar-winner The King’s Speech, coproduced by The Weinstein Co. and the U.K. Film Council, among others, drew nearly $270 million offshore. The Three Musketeers in 3D from Germany’s Constantin Films bagged nearly $120 million outside the U.S. and Canada.
Best of the French titles was, by far, Gaumont’s Intouchables, the market’s biggest grosser of 2011 and a genuine box office phenomenon.
The comedy about the prickly relations between a wealthy quadriplegic and a caretaker with a shady past has drawn nearly $140 million over 10 rounds in France alone, and remains in the market’s No. 1 spot (with an estimated $3.8 million generated on the weekend from 809 locations). Intouchables also opened No. 4 in Germany on the weekend, taking an estimated $3 million from some 157 locations.
Currently, the No. 1 title in Italy on the weekend is Medusa’s Immaturi (The Immature), director Paolo Genovese’s local-language comedy about a half dozen 30-somethings, friends in high school, reuniting. Weekend take was an estimated $6 million at an unspecified number of locations.
No. 4 on the weekend was DreamWorks Animation’s Puss In Boots, which flew past the $300-million overseas gross mark ($311.6 million) thanks to an $18.2 million weekend at 5,779 locations in 52 markets. It finished No. 2 in its fifth Germany round with $3 million elicited from 709 venues. Paramount is the overseas distributor.
Sony’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo grossed $12.6 million from 1,925 screens in 33 territories with a seven-day launch in Russia claiming $6.6 million from some 600 sites, and claiming the No. 5 weekend spot.
Director David Fincher’s interpretation of the Swedish thriller premiered No. 1 in Hong Kong ($470,000 from 36 locations for more than $13,000 per-screen average) and in South Africa. Cume stands at $29.3 million.
Fox’s release of The Darkest Hour, a Russia-set sci/fi-horror outing, opened in 17 markets, and drew $5.6 million overall from 2,487 screens in 30 territories. Overseas cume stands at $16.2 million. Sony/Paramount’s The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn bagged $5.3 million ($2.7 million from Sony-handled territories, $2.6 from Paramount markets) from a total of $2,546 venues in 50 markets. Foreign cume stands at $253.8 million.
Meanwhile, Steven Spielberg’s other release out overseas, War Horse handled by Disney, drew a weekend tally of $2 million from four markets, pushing its early foreign total to $7.6 million.Rubbeldiekatz, the German-language romantic comedy distributed by Universal in German-speaking Europe, drew $3.2 million on the weekend from 650 sites in three markets, lifting its cume to $15.5 million.
Making its Russia ($2.5 million from 593 sites and Ukraine debut via Paramount was director Martin Scorsese’s Hugo, which collected a total of $2.9 million from three markets. Cume stands at $3.7 million from Paramount-handled territories.
Fox’s We Bought A Zoo, director Cameron Crowe’s family drama costarring Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson nudged its foreign gross total to $13.5 million thanks to a $2.6 million from 1,278 screens in 14 territories.
Other international cumes: Disney’sThe Muppets, $10.7 million; Sony’s Arthur Christmas, $100.2 million; Universal’s Tower Heist, $61.2 million; Disney’s Real Steel, $207.4 million; Fox’s In Time, $105.4 million; Immortals, $31.7 million (from Universal-handled territories only); DreamWorks/Disney’s The Help, $35.7 million; Mars Distribution’s Une vie meilleure (A Better Life), opened No. 4 in France with $1.3 million drawn from 300 spots; Disney’s The Lion King 3D, $74.3 million; and Universal’s The Change-Up, $37.8 million.
even lower estimate for the iron lady.....

Re: Intl. Box-Office: M:I-4 at almost $220 million worldwide Yeah Sherlock is looking good but I think it will end up very close to the original's WW total if this surpasses SH. The only concern is the upcoming competition. Action movies do not go well with competition in OS markets.

Re: Intl. Box-Office: M:I-4 at almost $220 million worldwide Quote: Foreign Box Office: 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows' Still No. 1 Overseas
"Contraband" and "The Descendants" open softly offshore, while "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" places No. 2 for the weekend.
Warner Bros.’ Sherlock Homes: A Game of Shadows held the No. 1 box office spot on the foreign theatrical circuit for the second consecutive weekend, drawing $27.4 million from 57 markets and lifting its overseas gross total to $222 million.
Solid No. 1 openings in Brazil ($3.3 million at 429 locations) and in Argentina along with a first-place holdover in Australia ($3.4 million from 386 sites) helped drive the action for director Guy Ritchie’s sequel costarring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. A China launch commenced Sunday, with figures due the following day.
Warners said that the offshore cume for Game of Shadows is 13% ahead of 2009’s Sherlock Homes comparable tally “at the same point in release.” (The original Holmes grossed a total of $315 million overseas.)

In France, Gaumont’s Intouchables was displaced by director Clint Eastwood’s J. Edgar from Warner Bros. as the market’s No. 1 title after 10 weeks in the top spot.

Re: Intl. Box-Office: M:I-4 at almost $220 million worldwide Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows' Hangs on as No. 1 for Third Straight Weekend
"Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" and "Underworld Awakening" pace foreign openings; "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" tops in France.
In a generally soft session highlighted by several solid but limited film debuts on the foreign theatrical circuit, Warner Bros.’ Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows maintained its hold on the weekend’s No. 1 box office spot, generating $18.1 million from 57 offshore markets.
Foreign gross total for director Guy Ritchie’s sequel costarring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law comes to $261 million, which Warners said puts the film’s foreign cume 33% ahead of 2009’s Sherlock Holmes’ comparable tally. The original went on to gross a total of $315 million in foreign markets.
In its first five days of release in China, A Game of Shadows grossed $10 million, more than double the comparable marketing opening figure logged by the 2009 original. A “very rough projection” of the latest weekend tally in China comes to $3.1 million.
Taking the No. 1 France spot was director David Fincher’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, which opened at 514 screens in the market, and registered $3.2 million. A No. 1 Mexico launch generated $1.2 million from 501 spots. The weekend overall came up with $15.7 million drawn from 4,630 locations in 53 markets, elevating the film’s foreign gross total to $70.8 million, and making the film the weekend’s No. 2 title.
The weekend’s notable offshore developments:
Opening at 1,082 locations in six offshore markets was Warner Bros./New Line/Walden Media’s Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, the family-adventure sequel costarring Josh Hutcherson, Dwayne Johnson and Michael Caine. Debut tally in all was $8.2 million, with a No. 3 Korea bow providing $2.7 million of the total from 304 situations.
Introducing itself to 36 markets on the foreign theatrical circuit was Sony’s Underworld Awakening in 3D, which generated $13.4 million from 2,344 screens. The fourth title in the Underworld vampire warrior (Kate Beckinsale) franchise finished No. 1 in at least a dozen territories including Russia, where the opening tally was a substantial $5.4 million drawn from 684 situations. It ranked No. 3 on the weekend overall.
Director Alexander Payne’s The Descendants starring George Clooney, opened No. 1 in Spain ($3 million drawn from 277 screens) and in Australia ($2.6 million from 213 spots). Weekend overall for the 20th Century Fox release generated $6.2 million from 637 screens in eight territories. The Golden Globe best drama winner’s early cume stands at $9.9 million.
Included among the weekend’ newcomers overseas was Paramount’s Young Adult, director Jason Reitman drama about a divorced fiction writer (Charlize Theron) seeking romance in small-town Minnesota. The film “debuted modestly” (Paramount’s words) in Australia and Russia, grossing $522,000 at 298 locations.
Universal released in Australia and New Zealand Studio Canal’s co-production of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, the latest film version, costarring Gary Oldman, of the John le Carre novel. Total opening gross was $1.8 million with $1.6 million coming from Australia.
20th Century Fox opened The Sitter, the comedy starring Jonah Hill as a suspended collegian who baby sits the neighbors’ children, in the No. 5 slot in the U.K., generating $1.42 million from 354 screens.
Premiering No. 6 in the U.K. was Paramount’s release of director Steven Soderbergh’s action thriller Haywire, costarring Gina Carano, Ewan McGregor and Michael Fassbinder. Opening weekend at some 380 spots yielded an estimated $1.3 million over three days. Paramount estimated $2 million over five days. The film also opened in several other markets, with Lionsgate reporting figures later this week.
With openings in China and in Scandinavia due this week, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol has accumulated $336.7 million in overseas gross since Dec. 14. The Tom Cruise action sequel drew a weekend tally of $9.4 million from 4,687 locations in 58 markets, and ranks No. 4 on the weekend. A No. 2 hold in its sixth Japan round registered $1.9 million from 341 situations for a market total of $61.5 million.
No. 5, Fox’s Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, weighed in with a weekend gross of $9.3 million drawn from 5,500 sites in 47 territories. Foreign gross total for the computer animation sequel comes to $170 million. DreamWorks Animation/Paramount’s Puss In Boots upgraded it overseas cume to $345 million thanks to a $8.7-million stanza at 4,503 playdates in 58 territories.
Still No. 1 in its third round in Germany is French-made comedy sensation Intouchables, pairing a wealthy quadriplegic man and his caretaker with a shady past. Lastest round in Germany yielded an estimated $4.2 million from some 654 spots. In France, Intouchables generated an estimated $2.2 million from 809 sites for a market cume amassed over 12 weeks of $143.3 million.
Steven Spielberg’s War Horse -- remaining No. 1 in the U.K. in its second round there -- drew a total of $7.3 million on the weekend, as per distributor Disney, from a dozen offshore territories. Foreign gross total to date stands at $28.8 million. The director’s The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn drew $4.48 million on the weekend with Sony reporting $3.7 million from 1,045 venues in 35 markets and co-distributor Paramount showing $782,000 from 425 locations in 13 territories.
Opening in four territories was Fox’s sci-fi/horror outing The Darkest Hour, which generated $5 million from 3,200 screens in 50 markets, pushing its overseas cume to $37.2 million. Sony’s Adam Sandler comedy Jack and Jill yielded $3.2 million on the weekend at 651 playdates in 25 markets, lifting its foreign cume to $25.9 million.
The local language film scene in France was active this weekend with three releases finishing in the market’s top six slots. Opening No. 3 was EuropaCorp Distribution’s L’amour dure trios ans, a romantic comedy directed by Frederic Beigbeder about a literary critic’s musings about his private life. Weekend provided an estimated $2.5 million from some 400 screens.
Making its No. 5 debut was Si on vivait tous ensemble (And If We All Lived Together), directed by Stephane Robelin and costarring Jane Fonda and Geraldine Chaplin. It’s Fonda’s first role in a French film in 40 years (she plays a cancer stricken university professor). The BAC films release, made in 2010 and shown as the closing night film at 2011’s Locarno International Film festival, grossed $1.1 million from 300 situations.
No. 6 in France was Mars Distribution’s release of Ma Premier Fois, the saga of a 20-year-old youth and his 18-year-old girlfriend. Opening round at some 225 screens came in at an estimated $800,000.

Re: Intl. Box-Office: M:I-4 at almost $220 million worldwide Around-the-World Roundup: 'M:I-4' Back on Top by Ray Subers Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol January 29, 2012 Thanks to a huge opening in China, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is back in first place at the overseas box office this weekend. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows also had another strong frame, and is well on its way to passing the original Sherlock's total, while The Descendants tallied solid numbers in a handful of major new markets. The fourth installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise grossed an estimated $25 million from 63 markets this weekend. Over half of that came in China, where the movie debuted to an impressive $12.7 million. That's five times higher than Mission: Impossible III's opening, and Ghost Protocol has already topped that movie to become the highest-grossing entry in the franchise in China. Ghost Protocol also had a respectable debut in Italy ($3.1 million) and had strong first place openings in Norway ($1.2 million) and Sweden ($1.1 million). Its overseas total is now at $369 million, which brings its worldwide (domestic plus foreign) gross to $571 million. On Friday, Ghost Protocol passed Mission: Impossible II's $546.4 million total to become the top movie in the franchise, and it's now on pace to easily pass War of the Worlds ($592 million) to become star Tom Cruise's highest-grossing movie ever. "Brad Bird, Tom Cruise, J.J. Abrams and the entire team who worked on Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol created an incredibly entertaining film, one that fans worldwide embraced in record numbers," said Paramount's Vice Chairman Rob Moore in a press release. After leading for three-straight weekends, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows dropped to second place with an estimated $17.3 million from 58 markets. Its only major opening was in France, where it took first place with $6.6 million. At $287.1 million, the movie is tracking 14 percent ahead of the first Sherlock movie and still has an opening in Japan to look forward to in March. In its second weekend in theaters, Underworld Awakening added $16 million for a total of $40 million. It debuted to $2.8 million in Australia, $2.03 million in Spain and $.1.9 million in Mexico (which as four times higher than Underworld: Evolution). Its top holdover was Russia, where it added $2.5 million for a total just shy of $10 million. The Descendants grossed $15.5 million from 33 markets. That includes strong starts in the United Kingdom ($2.77 million), France ($1.7 million), Germany ($1.6 million) and Brazil ($1.1 million). It also held even in Australia with $2.56 million, and remained in first place in Spain with $2.2 million. So far, the five-time Oscar nominee has earned $26.9 million overseas. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo added an estimated $10.8 million in 60 territories. Its only significant opening came from Brazil, where it made a decent $960,000. The David Fincher-directed remake has now made $86.7 million overseas. Puss in Boots continued its impressive overseas run by adding $7.1 million for a total of $358.7 million. Sometime this weekend, the movie became the eighth DreamWorks Animation production to pass $500 million worldwide. Other Notables - Weekend Gross - Gross-to-Date (in millions) Journey 2 - $7 - $24.2 Alvin and the Chipmunks 3 - $6.8 - $181.2 Jack and Jill - $4.9 - $31.6 War Horse - $4.6 - $35.4 The Darkest Hour - $2.6 - $41.2 Contraband - $1.7 - $6.7 We Bought a Zoo - $1.6 - $22.2 http://boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=3359&p=.htm_________________The Dark Prince

"Returning to the No. 1 box office ranking on the foreign theatrical circuit, Paramount’s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol parleyed a two-day, $12.7 million box office take in China to a total weekend gross of $25 million drawn from 7,837 locations in 63 markets.
Paramount said that the Tom Cruise action sequel’s China haul from some 3,000 sites was more than five times the comparable market opening figure compiled by 2006’s Mission: Impossible III, which generated total foreign box office of $263.8 million.
Ghost Protocol also opened strongly in Italy ($3.1 million generated at 170 spots) and premiered No. 1 in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The film finished No. 1 in the international box office sweepstakes three times in late December and early this month, and has logged total foreign box office of $369 million to date.
Top domestic box office title, Open Road Films release of The Grey, director Joe Carnahan’s actioner staring Liam Neeson, dipped its toes in international waters on the weekend. A No. 3 U.K. opening via Entertainment Releasing grossed an estimated $2 million from some 345 situations. Also, Universal opened the picture in Russia, claiming $1.2 million from 347 locations.
The weekend’s No. 2 was Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, which had been the No. 1 title overseas for the last three stanzas.
Weekend take from 7,300 sites in 58 markets came to $17.3 million, hoisting the foreign gross total of director Guy Ritchie’s sequel costarring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law to $287.1 million, which distributor Warner Bros. says is 14% ahead of what 2009’s Sherlock Holmes grossed “at the same point in release.” (The original bagged $314 million in overseas box office.)
A Game of Shadows introduced itself to French audiences with gusto, dominating the market with a $6.6 million take from 620 screens. The film took a 30% market share in France, as per Warners.
Opening No. 1 in Australia ($2.8 million from 274 sites), Sony’s Underworld: Awakening, the latest sequel in the werewolf-versus-vampire franchise starring Kate Beckinsale, awakened $16 million on the weekend overall at a total of 3,450 venues in 47 territorties. It took third place on the weekend.
A No. 2 Spain bow triggered $2 million from 399 situations while a first-place Mexico opening generated $1.9 million at 433 sites. Underworld: Awakening’s foreign cume so far stands at $40 million via all distributors.
The weekend’s No. 4 title and the best grossing by far of the three best-picture Oscar nominees in wide foreign release was 20th Century Fox’s The Descendants, which grossed $15.6 million on the weekend at 2,507 screens in 33 markets, of which 24 were new on the weekend.
Director Alexander Payne’s family drama starring George Clooney opened No. 2 in the U.K. generating $2.8 million at 403 situations. A second-place debut in France provided $1.7 million from 235 locales while the best holdover was in Spain, where the film finished No. 1 with $2.2 million drawn from 323 sites. Total foreign cume to date for The Descendants is $27 million.
• Another best picture Oscar nominee, Steven Spielberg’s War Horse from DreamWorks/Disney, is having a relatively tough box office slog overseas. Whereas its domestic total so far is $75.6 million, its offshore take comes to less than half that at $35.4 million. Weekend on the foreign circuit drew $4.6 million from 18 territories including a No. 1 ranking in the U.K. in its third stanza there, pushing its market cume to $20.6 million or 58% of the film’s total international cume. Next biggest market is Australia where the market cume comes to $10 million or 28% of the total offshore gross.
• The Weinstein Co.’s The Artist currently ranks No. 5 in its fifth U.K. round, No. 7 in its native France in its 16th week there and No. 12 in its Germany opener. Latest foreign cume stands at an estimated $27 million versus an estimated $14 million grossed domestically.
• DreamWorks/Disney’s The Help, the best domestic grosser among the best- picture Oscar nominees (about $170 million), is a box office dud on the foreign circuit, grossing just $38.8 million to date. Similarly, Sony’s Moneyball has drawn nearly $80 million at the domestic box office while logging only $31.2 million on the foreign circuit.
• Summit International’s A Tree of Life, the 2011 Palme d’Or winner at the Cannes Festival, has logged $49 million so far overseas, more than three times its domestic box office take. Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close has not yet begun its foreign run via Warner Bros. Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris has grossed via myriad local distributors just over $98 million offshore, and Martin Scorsese’s Hugo about $30 million foreign via various distributors including Paramount, which accounted for $15.4 million of the total.
Finishing No. 5 on the weekend was Sony’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, which unearthed $10.8 million at 4,685 screens in 60 markets, lifting the film’s foreign gross total to $86.7 million. No. 3 in its second France weekend, director David Fincher’s rendition of novelist Stieg Larsson’s crime thriller pushed its market cume there to $5.8 million.
DreamWorks Animation/ Paramount’s Puss In Boots, grossed $7.1 million on the weekend from 3,967 sites in 59 territories. Foreign cume for the animation title is $358.7 million.
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island from Warner Bros./New Line/Walden Media grossed $7 million from eight offshore markets on the weekend, a slight 10% drop from its opening round, as per Warners. Early overseas cume for the family adventure costarring Josh Hutcherson and Dwayne Johnson stands at $24.2 million from the eight territories, which the distributor said was 73% ahead of the comparable figure logged by the film’s 2008 predecessor Journey To the Center of the Earth “at the same point in release for these markets.”
Fox’s Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked hoisted its foreign gross total to $182.7 million (with $20.9 million of that coming from Brazil) thanks to a $6.8 million weekend at 4,623 venues in 46 territories. The computer-animation sequel opens in Venezuela this week.
Gaumont’s Intouchables remains a boxoffice phenomenon in France, grossing an estimated $2 million in its 13th round at 809 sites for a market cume of at least $151 million. The comedy about a wealthy quadriplegic and his caretaker with a shady past is also gangbusters in Germany, taking via Senator the No. 1 spot in its fourth market stanza with an estimated $4.3 million drawn from some 690 sites for an estimated market cume of $22.8 million.
Jack and Jill, the latest Adam Sandler comedy from Sony, opened No. 2 in Germany, taking $1.87 million from 427 locales. Weekend overall provided $4.9 million from a total of 3,15 playdates in 32 territories, nudging the film’s offshore cume to $31.6 million.
Other international cumes: Sony/Paramount’s The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, $198.2 million; Disney’s Beauty and the Beast 3D, $4.7 million; Fox’s The Sitter, $3.6 million in one market; Universal’s Contraband, $6.7 million; Fox’s We Bought A Zoo, $22.7 million; Universal’s Tower Heist, $66.1 million; and Universal’s Johnny English Reborn, $156 million."http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/f ... rey-285524___________________________________________________________________________

Re: Intl. Box-Office: Puss in Boots passes $500 million WW! Puss In Boots quietly may have become the highest grossing spin off ever (can anyone confirm that?).
Starting with just a $34 m domestic tally, it really managed to turn things around. It still has Japan left as well...

performances like puss in boots really go unnoticed a lot but they're damn impressive. here we are raving about Liam Nesson able to draw in a film close to 20m OW and a fucking talking zorro-cat makes a half a billion dollar with relative ease. LOL, that's true. Or Real Steel hitting $210 million overseas by now has gone by rather unnoticed.

Re: Intl. Box-Office: Puss in Boots passes $500 million WW! In Time, yes. Musketeers is no surprise. If anything, I'd say it even slightly disappointed overseas.
