Monday's top movies: 1. TWILIGHT: BDp2 - $1.2M ($255M) 2. SKYFALL - $1.1M ($246M) 3. LINCOLN - $1M ($84M) https://mobile.twitter.com/ERCboxoffice/status/276000875833610240?p=v

$75M overseas.

$80M overseas.

I see $60M overseas total at minimum. Presidential movies don't always do well but Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and JFK did well.Predictions?

Most of them. It only has Greece left and that releases 5 weeks from now.As for Argo's total, I think it can reach the heights of The Town's $62M overseas gross.

I've seen a lot of sellouts for Lincoln today compared to just 2 I saw last night.

It did decently in 4th place with $2 million in 390 sites. http://rewired.hollywoodreporter.com/news/foreign-box-office-breaking-dawn-393906

It's only $12M away from the Town's overseas gross. It'll be close.

Lincoln continues to do well and LOP did better than Guardians yesterday.

Thanksgiving Thursday Night Football was broadcasted on NBC for the first time where other nights it was aired on ESPN.

Plus, the Thursday Night Football may have subdued some of those movies' increases.

RTH, is Lincoln doing well?

They sure are. Argo should pass $10M total even with Skyfall's breakout.

Thank you for the analysis.

I agree it is a shame if this happens because it's one of my favorite movies this year.Don't fret just yet because Affleck's The Town didn't see a big drop until its 4th weekend and got killed in its 5th weekend. I'm sure it has excellent WOM in the UK that it will prevent any big drop. If it does drop big, it's probably because the new releases opened better than expected. Plus, it's 2nd weekend only slipped from 20% when subtracting Wednesday Previews from November 7.

I agree with Jonwo that it was a tough sell. Plus, it was an even tougher sell than Affleck's The Town. It earned $61.8M overseas, which is a number I think Argo could reach at. Plus, it held very well in the UK, France and Australia even with Twilight coming out.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/foreign-box-office-twilights-breaking-391798 "Skyfall" falls to No. 2, but cracks the half-billion overseas gross mark to become the biggest Bond ever; "Flight" under the radar in one-market foreign opening. Opening at 12,812 locations in 61 overseas markets, Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 virtually sucked the box office oxygen out of the foreign theatrical circuit with a debut gross of $199.6 million – the biggest offshore opening launch of the year. The weekend take easily beats the opening of last year’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part I, which drew an estimated $144 million at about 9,950 locations in 54 overseas markets. To get an idea of just how big this weekend’s action was, Breaking Dawn 2’s debut tally just about matches the entire foreign box office of series original, 2008’s Twilight ($199.8 million). Breaking day-and-date with its domestic release, the fifth and final title based on Stephenie Meyer’s series of novels about a young woman (Kristen Stewart) in love with a vampire (Robert Pattinson) blasted its way to double-digit weekend debuts in the U.K. ($24.4 million), Russia and eight other CIS markets ($20.3 million), Brazil ($19 million), France ($16.4 million), Australia ($12.7 million), Italy ($12.4 million), Spain ($11.8 million) and Mexico (also $11.8 million). Included in Breaking Dawn 2’s overseas weekend take was $3 million registered at 82 IMAX location. 2009’s The Twilight Saga: New Moon cumed $413.2 million foreign while the following year’s The Twilight Saga: Eclipse finished its overseas run with a gross of $398 million. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part I drew a total offshore gross of $430.9 million. The first four Twilight films grossed more than $2.5 billion worldwide of which $1.4 billion came from the foreign circuit. (Worldwide total for Breaking Dawn 2 stands at $340.9 million.) Pushed aside to a distant No. 2 was Sony/MGM’s Skyfall, the 23rd installment of the James Bond franchise, which had been the foreign circuit’s box office champion for three prior stanzas. The third outing starring Daniel Craig as 007 collected $49.6 million this weekend from 9,950 locations in 83 territories, pushing its foreign gross tally to $507.9 million. That makes Skyfall the biggest-grossing (not adjusted for inflation) James Bond title ever released on the foreign circuit. Top market on the weekend was Germany where the film tallied $10.3 million at 1,330 sites. Flight starring Denzel Washington got off to a tentative start offshore, premiering No. 5 in Russia with $1 million extracted from some 400 spots. The film’s very early foreign cume stands at $2.1 million. Distributor Paramount said that major-market openings are due in January and February “during the awards season.” Continuing to show overseas box office traction after early lackluster rounds in Turkey, South Africa, India and Iceland, Cloud Atlas, the soul-searching sci-fi drama costarring Tom Hanks and Halle Berry. The film seized the No. 1 spot in Russia (via Twentieth Century Fox working on a distribution fee basis with A Company Russia) for the second consecutive round, drawing $1.7 million from 1,300 spots for a market cume of $12.1 million. Thanks to solid holdovers in France ($1.6 million at 346 spots at No. 3 in the market) and in the U.K. (No. 4 with $1.3 million drawn from 345 locations), Argo, actor-director Ben Affleck’s international thriller, grossed $8.7 million on the weekend overall at 3,451 screens in 38 territories. Offshore cume stands at $40.4 million. Sony Animation’s Hotel Transylvania, a comedy voiced by Adam Sandler and Kevin James about a boy who discovers Dracula is real, grossed $7.8 million at 4,435 sites in 57 markets. The title’s foreign gross total stands at $140.3 million. Wreck-It Ralph, Disney’s 3D family animation title, playing in 19 territories, dipped to $4.8 million overseas its third round in 18 territories, and lifting its foreign gross total to $35.7 million. Worldwide take stands at $157.2 million. DreamWorks Animation’s Rise of the Guardians opened at some 7,500 situations in China and bagged $3.1 million. The Paramount release, featuring the voices of Alec Baldwin and Hugh Jackman, opens in eight markets this week including Hong Kong, Russia and the Ukraine and Singapore. Sony’s Here Comes the Boom, a comedy starring Kevin James as a biology teacher turned martial arts fighter, drew $2.5 million in its second round overseas at 975 screens in 17 markets. A No. 3 ranking in Germany kicked in $1.7 million at 559 locations. Pushing its foreign gross total to $82 million was Paramount’s Paranormal Activity 4, which collected $2.3 million on its fifth offshore weekend from 3,316 spots in 48 markets. Universal’s The Bourne Legacy pushed its foreign cume to $161.3 million thanks to a $2.1 million weekend at some 5,000 playdates in nine markets while Twentieth Century Fox’s-EuropaCorp.’s Taken 2 grossed $1.95 million on the weekend an offshore cume of $219.5 million. Top-grossing local language newcomer in the France market is Le Capital, director Costa-Gavras’ big business drama starring Gabriel Byrne. The Mars Distribution release opened No. 4 with an estimated $1.3 million derived from some 300 screens. Other international cumes: Universal’s Pitch Perfect, $4.1 million (worldwide, $65.7 million); Fox’s The Watch, $33 million; Paramount’s Cirque du Soleil – Worlds Away, $3.7 million after a 819,000 second weekend in Japan); Universal’s Ted, $282 million (worldwide, $500.7 million); Wild Bunch’s Asterix et Obelix: Aus Service de sa Majeste, $32.3 million over five round in France only; and Universal’s Anna Karenina, $10.8 million from Taiwan, China, the U.K. and Ireland. Also, Warner Bros. Espana’s Lo Impossible, $48.5 million over six rounds in Spain only; Pathe’s Nous York, $3.8 million over two stanzas in France only; Fox’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, $78.6 million; Universal’s ParaNorman, $42.6 million; Fox’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days, $27.8 million; Warner Bros. France’s Stars Des Annees 80, $11.4 million in France only; Fox’s The Sessions, 753,467 in two markets; and Universal’s Un Plan Parfait (Fly Me To The Moon), $8.3 million in France only.

Nikki doesn't know how to add, if it indeed does have $160M in 10 days, it has a $41M 2nd weekend. If not, the total is $150M in 10 days for Skyfall.

Actually in 2007 (the last time a Sunday was on Veteran's Day), only one movie dropped more than 40%.CFL Playoffs were still there on Veteran's Day in 2007 but the drops were softer than normal. Plus, many banks have a holiday the next day.http://boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/?sortdate=2007-11-11&p=.htm

I'm sure Argo will rebound this weekend. I agree with Jonwo that's it a tough sell. Keep in Mind: The Town earned $7.5M.

Good drop for Argo but steep for Flight and WIR.

Argo did better than the Town. Can't see how to this DOES NOT pass The Town's overseas total at this point as long as the other countries do better than The Town.
