G.I. Joe: Retaliation held on to its international berth thanks to an estimated $40.2m weekend through Paramount Pictures International that propelled the early running total to $145.2m after two sessions.

The film stayed top for the third consecutive session in two other markets on the continent: $504,000 from 194 in Colombia for $3.9m and $587,000 from 121 in Chile for $26m.

Evil Dead has done well so far with it's $10m in 2 weeks.

 

It opens in 10 markets tomorrow (UK today, can't wait).

 

Then 6 the following week, 5 the next, 11 the following, then 6 again before the smaller markets throughout the end of May and start of June.

 

I'm hoping it can eventually pass $100m worldwide. $53.1m just now.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

100M likely will happen for it. Lots big markets to open.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

The Asian market’s powerhouse status is nothing new, however its ability to shape the box office landscape continued to inspire awe as a $33m opening week single-handedly returned the international box office crown to Paramount’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

 

The $40m result includes the entire first week’s result from China, which is consistent with the way China currently reports box office debuts.

Oblivion ruled the roost last weekend thanks to a terrific $60m launch and Universal Pictures International (UPI) reported a solid $33.7m second session that elevated the running total to $112m.

Paramount Pictures International’s (PPI) G.I. Joe sequel soared past $200m to reach $211.7m with Japan still to come on Jun 8. Active in 13,616 locations in 62 territories, the sci-fi adventure led the way in China on 7,500 sites and in the course of a single week has already overtaken the lifetime gross of its predecessor.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation generated approximately $3m from 101 IMAX screens in China for a per-screen average of more than $30,000.

Brazil was the highest of the fourth-weekend holdovers on $600,000 from 400 theatres for $8.8m. Russia stands at $15.9m, Mexico $13.8m, the UK $11.1m, Australia $10.7m, Germany $10m and France $7.3m.

Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters has reached $165.4m and arrives in Italy on May 1. PPI looks likely to maintain an iron grip on the box office for a while. This week it launches Iron Man 3 internationally, one week ahead of the North American debut on May 3.

[*]UPI’s Oblivion is playing in 60 territories and arrived in a further nine territories including Poland and South Africa. The sci-fi thriller grossed $1.6m on IMAX screens as the running total climbed to more than $6m on the giant screen format.

The Tom Cruise sci-fi thriller held on to its number one status in most of last weekend’s debut market including Russia, where a further $3.5m from 850 propelled the running total to $14.8m. The film grossed $2.6m from 525 in the UK for $12.3m and ranks top in Germany on $2.1m from 580 for $5.5m.

France returned a number four rank as $2.1m from 419 resulted in $7.1m after two weekends. Oblivion ranks top in Spain where $1.7m from 350 pushed the tally to $5.2m, while Italy generated $1.3m from 362 for $3.9m.

Cruise and friends rank third in Australia after $2m from 234 boosted the score to $6.7m and the film placed top in South Korea on $3.1m from 542 for $8.3m. A further $1.9m in Mexico from 561 elevated the running total to $5.8m while a $1.8m number one haul in Brazil from 420 boosted the score to $4.5m. 

The Japanese launch is set for May 31 and China will open on a date to be determined.

Mama brought in $2.9m from 900 venues in 22 territories to push the running total to $64.2m. The horror tale opened in Germany in second place on $1.6m from 329 and debuted at number one in Austria on $358,000 from 71. Identity Thief stands at $32.9m and Jurassic Park 3D $6.6m from 10 territories.

[*]Fox International reported that DreamWorks Animation’s The Croods added $23.4m from 14,717 screens in 68 markets to push the running total to $274.5m.

The family filmed debuted in China on $6m from 5,000 and added $3.2m in France from 767 for $7.6m after two sessions and $2.2m from 512 Australian screens for $20.8m after four.

After five weekends of The Croods, Russia has generated $27.2m, the UK $35.9m, Mexico $24.3m, Germany $18.1m and Spain $15m.

Fox International Productions’ (FIP) Dragonball Z added $1.4m from 312 in its fourth weekend in Japan in association with Toei to reach $26.1m while FIPsRunning Man stands at $7.8m in South Korea following a $1m haul from 331 in the third weekend. Lincoln stands at $85.1m overall.

I think this is a good thread to say this: If I am not wrong, BOM has updated some WW figures.

 

Deathly Hallows 2 has risen to 1.341 billion (960 OS). That is about 14 million more.

The Dark Knight Rises is now at 1.084 billion (636 OS). I think that is just 3 or 4 million more, but still remarkable.

And Hobbit has been closed with 1.017 billion.

Is there any place available to be able to look up what movies are being released in each individual country? BOM only updates after the movie has been released.

A $6.2m haul in Thailand powered by the biggest opening day resulted in the biggest opening weekend. There were record debut weekends in the Asia-Pacific and Latin American regions.
