Great for TDKR. Does it have a chance to make $1bn worldwide?Or is it looking at about $900m

I think it will reach 1 billion, even without China. Asuming 450 in US, it would "only" need 550 OS, and I think it can make 600, or even 650 (although it will be hard without China). For the moment I see it landing at 1.05-1.1 billion.

What is exactly happening there? No signs of life?

There are several factors, but I think the main one is the wrong growth model. The excellent growing phase of Spain during years previous to the 2008 crediticial crisis was based in construction industry. During the period 1998-2008, we have built more houses/flats than the addition of France, Germany and UK. People in Spain is used to buy houses instead renting. And during that years banks had no problem giving credits and mortgages to everyone. The prices rised a 100% or more.But 2008 arrived and credit was cut. Construction industry, which represented a 15% of GDP, was stopped, and people started to be hired. We have always had an endemic unemployment problem. In the best moment of our short democratic history we had a 8.5% of unemployment. Today it's about 25%. That's untenable. People start to not consume and economy is stopped. Workers of another sectors are in trouble too and start to be hired. Everything collapses because of dependence on a so large scale of construction.The country is under suspect because everyone is indebted, people, companies and government. Investors don't trust us, so it's more difficult to get financing. In order to get more money, government increases taxes and reduces public employees salaries, so people is getting more and more angry. And finally we have the problem of an absolute incompetence and oversized administration. We pay 450,000 political (Germany has barely 100,000 with a population of 82 million. We are 47 million).Of course, as you can imagine, it affects to box office. If many people barely don't have money to eat, much less to go to the movies. Instead going once a week to movies, we go once per month...or once per year. Priorities...

Warner Bros.

"Batman" sequel tracking nearly 50 percent ahead of 2008's "Dark Knight;" "Ice Age 4" still No. 2 while "Total Recall" debuts lightly in Asia.

Warner Bros.’ The Dark Knight Rises commanded the foreign theatrical circuit for the third consecutive weekend, taking the No. 1 box office spot with $67 million drawn from 58 offshore markets, and hoisting its overseas gross total to $378.4 million.

While the weekend figure dropped 47% from the sequel’s $126.2 million grossed last round, Warner Bros. said Dark Knight Rises overall is tracking 31% ahead of the comparable foreign total registered by its franchise predecessor, 2008’s The Dark Knight, “at the same point in release if comparing” exchange rates applicable four years ago.

“At today’s exchange rates, we would be 49% ahead of The Dark Knight," said Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, the studio’s president of international distribution. Dark Knight Rises still has a ways to go to catch up to the overseas gross total -- $469 million – registered by The Dark Knight.

Rises continues to rack up impressive weekend numbers in the U.K. ($6.75 million in third round for a market cume of $63.9 million) and in France ($6.1 million, cume $20.5 million). Also, in Mexico ($5.5 million, cume $20.8 million), Germany $5.3 million, cume $20.8 million) and in South Korea ($5.3 million, cume $35.8 million).

Buoyed by excellent China results, the weekend’s No. 2 title, 20th Century Fox’s Ice Age: Continental Drift, collected $32.8 million overall from 13,678 venues in 62 territories, pushing its substantial offshore total to $587 million. China contributed $11.1 million in the second round at 3,500 spots, elevating the market cume to $41.7 million.

The Blue Sky Studio’s sequel is the fourth title in the increasingly remunerative computer animation franchise that has grossed $1.918 billion worldwide over the last 10 years. The biggest foreign grosser of the series is 2009’s Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, which accumulated $693.9 (worldwide, $887.1 million).

New to the foreign circuit this round was Sony’s Total Recall, costarring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel, which opened at 1,170 locations in a dozen markets mostly in Asia.

Weekend take for the action sci-fi thriller, updating the 1990 Carolco Pictures original starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, totaled $6.2 million with Taiwan ($1.25 million at 150 spots) and Malaysia ($1 million at 130 sites) delivering the biggest grosses.

Also making its overseas debut was Universal’s release of Laika Ent.’s Paranorman, an animation fantasy about a young boy who converses with dead people. Its Mexico introduction generated $2.3 million at 531 locations, sufficient for a No. 2 market ranking.

The weekend’s No. 3, Universal’s Ted, registered its strongest stanza yet on the foreign circuit, collecting $32 million on the weekend at 2,380 screens in 20 territories, half of which were new. Director Seth MacFarlane’s comedy-fantasy starring Mark Wahlberg has grossed a total of $77.3 million overseas so far with playdates in 38 markets still ahead.

Ted premiered No. 1 in the U.K. (a strong $14.3 million registered at 508 sites), Germany ($7.4 million at 449 sites), Russia ($5.5 million at 630 situations, biggest market opening for a Hollywood studio comedy) and in Austria ($1.5 million at 76 sites for a per-screen average of nearly $20,000).

Finishing in the fourth spot was the Pixar animation title, Brave, distributed by Disney. Weekend drew $16.5 million from 31 territories, which Disney said was about 56% of the film’s projected market. Brave has grossed $118 million on the foreign circuit thus far, $341.3 million worldwide.

Flying past the $300 million foreign gross mark ($312 million) after nine weeks on the foreign circuit was DreamWorks Animation’s Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted. It ranked No. 5 on the weekend.

Weekend action came to $15.8 million drawn from 2,745 locations in 44 countries with a Japan opening contributing $4.5 million over five days at 302 sites, enough for a No. 2 market ranking. Distributor Paramount said Madagascar 3’s Japan results top those of 2008’s Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa by 72%.

Continuing to be the dominant No. 1 attraction in South Korea was Showbox’s release of The Thieves, which collected a muscular $15 million in its second round at 1,092 locations. Market cume for director Choi Dong-hoon’s crime thriller about a robbery gang on the lam in Macao was lifted to an estimated $39 million.
