fmpro Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 From BOMAlong with claiming first place at the domestic box office, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol maintained its grip on the foreign charts as well over Christmas weekend. The fourth installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise cashed out an estimated $45.8 million from 47 markets, which includes first place openings in Brazil ($2.75 million including previews) and Mexico ($2.5 million). Its top markets, though, were impressive holdovers South Korea (down 18 percent to $9.15 million) and Japan (off 15 percent to $6.2 million). Adding in Monday's figures, the movie has earned $156.7 million overseas, and appears well-positioned to ultimately pass Mission: Impossible III's $263.8 million. Based on currently available figures, Puss in Boots took second place with $16.4 million in 42 territories. It added $2.4 million in its second weekend in Italy, and its foreign total currently sits at an impressive $222.5 million. Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked added $16.3 million for an early total of $37.8 million. The third Alvin movie debuted to $4.6 million in France, which is up from the previous Alvin movie, and opened to $1.4 million in Germany (down from The Squeakquel). Chipwrecked should at least hold steady next weekend when it expands in to Russia and Australia. Arthur Christmas continued to rack up solid overseas grosses over Christmas weekend by earning an estimated $9.7 million from 74 markets. In its seventh weekend, the movie improved 91 percent in the United Kingdom to an estimated $4.1 million. Remarkably, that's its top weekend so far, and the Aardman Animation holiday movie ranks 10th on the year there with a strong $32.1 million. Overall, the movie has made $90 million overseas for a worldwide total of $134.1 million. Corresponding with its domestic debut, The Darkest Hour opened to $3.6 million from four overseas markets, most of which came from a $3.3 million start in Russia. That's a fine figure for a moderately-budgeted sci-fi flick, though it's less impressive considering the movie is set in Moscow and is produced by Russian director Timur Bekmambetov. The Darkest Hour adds 13 markets next weekend, including Germany. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo earned $1.6 million from Scandanavian countries in its first weekend overseas. It ranked second in Sweden with $1.4 million, which was notably off from the original version's $2 million debut in 2009. We Bought a Zoo debuted to just under $1 million in six markets, including $314,612 in Mexico. The Matt Damon comedy/drama expands in to Australia and Spain this weekend. Warner Bros. figures are not currently available, though Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows earned $5.5 million from 21 markets on Friday and should ultimately rank high on the overseas chart for Christmas weekend.Other Notables - Weekend Gross - Gross-to-DateRubbeldiekatz - $2.2 - $5.9The Adventures of Tintin - $2.1 - $243.9Real Steel - $1.9 - $197.4Tower Heist - $1.8 - $53.1In Time - $1.5 - $ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
