I thought that muppets would act like smurfs on a smaller scale...

Did not know that the scale would be that small

Foreign Box Office: 'War Horse' Opens Gently in Two Markets; Spielberg vs. Spielberg in Australia

"Alvin" and "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" pick up steam overseas.

Steve Spielberg is to some extent competing with himself in Australia.

While the director’s The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn opened via Paramount No. 1 or No. 2 in the market, the director’s War Horse from Dreamworks/Touchstone via Disney premiered in Australia's No. 5 spot, grossing an estimated $3.5 million from some 243 locations.

Overall, the World War I drama costarring Jeremy Irvine and Emily Watson generated $4 million over its six-day launch in its two-market offshore bow. (Since Paramount won’t report weekend numbers until Monday, it’s unclear if Tintin grabbed the market’s top spot. War Horse appears hard pressed to remain at No. 5.)

Opening in the U.K. and five other smaller markets was Sony’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, which collected $8.3 million on the weekend overall from 1,540 sites in 14 markets. First full week in the U.K. at 920 sites yielded $6.7 million of the weekend total for director David Fincher’s edition starring Rooney Mara of the Swedish thriller. Early international cume stands at $12.2 million over two rounds.

(Returns for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows were not made available by Warner Bros., on Sunday.)

Opening in at least a half dozen markets including Australia and Russia was 20th Century Fox’s Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, which collected $24.4 million on the weekend – up 48% from last weekend, says Fox -- from 6,764 locations in 57 territories.

Cume for the third installment of computer animation franchise about singing chipmunks stands at $81.1 million. Alvin is especially popular with school holiday crowds in France where it ranked second with $4.1 million drawn from 602 situations in its second market round for a local cume of $10.7 million.

Gripping the No. 1 spot in France for the ninth consecutive round was Gaumont’s Intouchables, the local-language comedy phenomenon about a wealthy quadriplegic (Francois Cluzet) bonding with a caretaker (Omar Sy) with a shady past. Weekend gross at some 898 screens bounced about 53% to $7.5 million, lifting the film’s market cume to $129.1 million.

Fox’s We Bought A Zoo introduced itself in six new markets, and collected $5.2 million on the weekend overall from 1,413 screens in 13 territories. Director Cameron Crowe’s family drama costarring Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson premiered No. 6 in Australia, generating $3.1 million from 279 locales. The film’s early cume stands at $7.8 million.

Sony’s seasonal family outing, Arthur Christmas, elevated its overseas cume to nearly $100 million ($96.9 million) since its Nov. 11 opening overseas after a $3.5 million weekend at 3,930 sites in 74 markets.

Fox’s release of The Darkest Hour, a Russia-set sci/fi-horror outing about alien invaders, made its debut in five new markets including Germany where opened No. 9. Weekend take overall was $3.4 million from 2,111 situations in 16 territories. Early international cume stands at $8.3 million.

Rubbeldiekatz, Universal’s German-language romantic comedy release, ranked No. 3 in its third Germany round (up nearly 80% from the prior stanza with $2.8 million drawn from 562 situations for an 18-day market cume of $10.4 million), and generated $3 million on the weekend overall from 643 sites in Germany, Austria and German-speaking Switzerland. Cume stands at $11.2 million.

Other international cumes: Fox’s In Time, $103.5 million; Universal’s Tower Heist, $57.5 million (after a $2.8 million round at 750 sites in 23 markets); Fox’s You Are The Apple Of My Eye, $25 million from four Asian markets including Hong Kong where it is the market’s biggest Chinese-language title ever; Disney’s The Muppets, $9.3 million; Universal’s The Change-Up, $36.5 million; StudioCanal’s Hollywood, $15 million over four rounds in France only; and Universal’s Johnny English Reborn, $154 million.
