By my rough calculation, Titanic's total passed $2 billion, and is at $2033.619 m.

With potentially another $200 m overseas and $25 m domestically, it could be at $2258.6 m ish by the end of its run.

"Thanks to its humongous opening in China, Titanic 3D proved the foreign theatrical circuit’s unsinkable No. 1 box office champ on the weekend, grossing $88.2 million from 9,889 venues in 69 overseas territories covering more than 100 countries.

The debut tally in China – $58 million drawn from 3,500 sites – accounted for the lion’s share of the total weekend take, and is distributor 20th Century Fo’sx biggest opening gross in the market ever. Fox said the retrofitted film’s six-day China bow is 32% more than the total market gross (a then record $44 million) of the original Titanic in China in 1998.

Titanic 3D, now in its second round of foreign release, also chalked up solid numbers in Russia ($2.75 million at 972 sites for a market cume of $10 million) and in Europe. A No. 2 second weekend in the U.K. drew $2.9 million from 508 locations for a cume of $12.8 million. Italy contributed $2.7 million at 389 sites for a cume of 8.4 million while France provided $2.6 million from 362 spots for a cume of $7.9 million. Germany came in with $2.2 million from 497 locations for a market cume of $7.4 million.

IMAX said the six-day China premier accounts for $6 million on 64 IMAX screens, for a nearly $94,000 per-site average. The film has grossed $13.6 million from IMAX sites globally over 12 days.

The foreign gross total for Titanic 3D stands at $146.4 million over two rounds – which, when combined with the original’s overseas run, puts the offshore total tally at $1.4 billion. (Foreign box office record is held by director James Cameron’s 2009’s blockbuster Avatar, which grossed $2.031 billion.) Worldwide, Titanic has pushed past the $2 billion mark.

Opening at just about half the total Titanic 3D playdates was Universal’s Battleship, director Peter Berg’s sci-fi/action title based on a Hasbro naval combat game about sea warfare with an alien armada. Debut weekend take from 26 offshore markets came to $58 million collected from 4,950 situations. The film ranks No. 2 on the weekend.

Costarring Alexander Skarsgard, Brooklyn Decker and Liam Neeson, Battleship took the No. 1 spot in 20 territories, setting Universal opening records in Korea ($8 million from 250 sites), Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. A first place finish in the U.K. provided $6.1 million from 496 situations while the No. 1 Germany finish provided $5 million from 632 situations.

Taking into account various sporting and cultural events plus the competitive calendar, Universal decided to debut Battleship overseas a month before its May 18 opening in the U.S. and Canada. The film has 38 territories yet to play including Russia and China this week and Latin American in May.

Also opening on the foreign circuit on the weekend was Lionsgate’s The Cabin In The Woods , directed by Drew Goddard and written by Joss Whedon. Playing at some 800 situations in four markets, the horror title grossed an estimated $3.4 million on the weekend with a No. 3 bow in the U.K. providing $2.5 million at 412 screens.

Third on the weekend was Warner Bros.’ Wrath of the Titans, the foreign circuit’s box office champ for the prior two weekends. This time the 3D action fantasy costarring Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes grossed $16 million from some 9,000 screens in 63 markets. Overseas cume stands at $188 million with a Japan opening on tap this week.

No. 4 was Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games, which pushed its foreign gross total to $194 million – as opposed to its much larger $337 million domestic take -- thanks to a $15 million weekend playing at 5,200 sites in 67 territories.

Fifth on the weekend was Universal’s American Pie: Reunion, which is handily out-grossing overseas all previous titles in the American Pie comedy franchise. Weekend take was $11.8 million from 2,641 sites in 34 territories for a foreign gross cume of $40.8 million. Openings in Brazil, Chile and Colombia are due this week.

Universal’s 3D animation title, Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax, elevated its foreign gross total to $74.3 million – with playdates in 16 key markets still to be digested – after a $8.6 million weekend at 3,753 situations in 51 territories.

Sony Animation/Aardman’s family-oriented animation title in 3D, The Pirates! Band of Misfits, opened in Venezuela and held nicely in the U.K. (No. 4 with $2.5 million drawn from 8990 sites for a market cume of $20.7 million). Weekend overall delivered $8.4 million from 4,200 venues in 34 markets. Overseas cume stands at $44.4 million.

Holdling tightly to France’s No. 1 position was Pathe’s Houba! Sur la piste du marsupilami (Houba! On The Trail Of The Marsupilami), which collected an estimated $8.2 million in its second round at 805 screens, down just 15% from its No. 1 market opening. France cume for the live/action/animation adventure created by Alain Chabet comes to $21.8 million.

Sony’s 21 Jump Street, a feature version of the old tv series, connected with $4 million on the weekend at 1,130 screens in 19 territories, lifting its foreign cume to $34 million. Fox International’s The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, costarring Judi Dench and Maggie Smith, hoisted its foreign cume to $60.9 million after a $3.8 million weekend at 1,456 screens in 26 markets. The film’s domestic bow is due May 4.

Other international cumes: Disney’s John Carter, $200.6 million (the second 2012 release to cross $200 million offshore); Warner’s Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, $220 million; DreamWorks Animation/Paramount’s Puss In Boots, $404 million; Fox’s Chronicle, $57.6 million; Hugo, $77.2 million from Paramount-handled territories only; Star Wars: Episode 1 in 3D, $59.8 million; Paramount’s The Devil Inside, $47.8 million; and Fox’s This Means War, $88.8 million."

I think Battleship will be huge overseas.

Looking at 300+ million easily and a gross well over 400-500 if the Asians markets overperform like TF3.

"A muscular opening in Russia plus extraordinarily strong holdovers in key overseas markets propelled Marvel’s The Avengers to a commanding No. 1 weekend perch on the foreign theatrical circuit with $151.5 million grossed in 52 territories, hoisting the film’s 12-day offshore box office total to $441.5 million.

Worldwide cume including the film’s record $200.3 million domestic opening stands at $641.8 million. The weekend’s foreign tally was a mere 18% down from the opening weekend figure last round, an indication of the film’s incredible staying power at the box office.

Costarring Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America), Mark Ruffalo, (The Hulk), Tom Huddleston (villain Loki) and Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), the action-packed mélange of comic book heroes – the first Marvel release marketed and distributed by Disney – opened May 3 in Russia and grossed $17.9 million, a market record for a Marvel title.

Weekend openings in eight markets included a mighty $10.2 million bow in the U.K. at 485 sites and a $4.9 million debut in France at 476 locations.

____________________________________________________________________________

It hasn't opened yet in most European countries...

I think Universal didn't want to handle three major releases (AP4, Battleship, Lorax) at the same time...

Who is that guy?

because it's bad

Even with European openings left Lorax did really bad in OS markets and the holds were poor.

38% 2nd weekend drop in Australia. Bodes well for a (sub) 50% drop in NA.

Dr. Seuss just lacks international appeal. Horton made the most with $142,608,575, while both Grinch and Cat did horribly.

Not that bad - I mean, it's unknown property, and not exactly super-appealing at first sight. Danny De Vito dubbed it in Russian, lots of extra publicity, and Lorax came only $5 m ahead of Despicable Me to $16 m total.
It still has the big ones ahead - UK, Germany, France, Italy, Japan. Horton did $142 m. Should do about the same in admissions.
Grinch did only $85 m OS, Cat in the Hat $33 m.

Is it me or did TA fall like below 50% in Holdovers?


Amazing should over 560-580 million by Next Sunday and I think I fail to take into account CHina...

TA was definitely saw less than 50% with the holdover markets. It was $185m last weekend (though I don't believe $185m was for weekend alone), this weekend China and Russia combined gave $35m and then there were few new markets like Singapore, Thailand where it opened after last weekend so giving it about $45m from new markets it would still have $106m from holdovers which would come around 46% drop from holdovers.

Should get what 50 million in weekdays and around 70+ million next weekend?


560-570+ million by Next Sunday?

China just opened, so I think we will see close to $600m by next weekend.

lol this is going to rocket past TF3 overseas then...


No competition for a while...

So $1.4B WW is in play!

Let me say this and let it soak in:

The Avengers is a lock for $1.4+ billion worldwide.

Well I still say $1.35b seems to be lock but I wouldn't go with $1.4b yet.

Interestingly
