Robertron Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 It's heading for $40m+ in Australia.After 7 days it's total was at $13.2m - and should be at around $23m this Sunday (thanks to a weekend which should come in around $6m) - this all basically guarantees a $40m finish.

JCS Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 UK, Germany and Russia open this week and this weekend's OS gross for Ted will give a good idea of what the film will end up grossing OS.The OS release has really been strung along though, France won't get Ted until October!

BenedictL11 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 http://www.deadline....rises-overseas/EXCLUSIVE: Of course a foul-mouthed teddy bear would translate internationally since it’s a beloved global plush toy. Still, MRC/Universal’s Ted is already open in 10 international territories and was #1 in almost every territory including an outstanding run in Australia. Now Universal opens it in 10 more markets this weekend and it’s already topping the foreign box office with big grosses in Germany and Russia plus previews in the UK. There, the Seth MacFarlane/Mark Wahlberg starrer has been #1 for two days of $5.3M previews, besting Warner Bros’ and Legendary Pictures’ third weekend of The Dark Knight Rises. Universal has planned the widest-ever release for Ted‘s official opening today in the UK and Ireland. In Germany, Ted opened #1 on its first day ahead of TDKR and grossed $1.2M on Thursday, a 2012 record best for Universal in this market. In Russia, Ted had a record-breaking start as well, opening Thursday with $1.4M as the #1 film ahead of TDKR. This is a record for a Hollywood comedy. Ted‘s international total has risen to $54.5M in just 20 territories, and Universal has 38 openings yet to release in the next few months.

JCS Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Why this movie is so successful as a comedy?Simply because it is very funny indeed, unlike a lot of modern comedy films. It was hilarious so I am glad it is doing so well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Ted must be one of the few comedies to translate well overseas, normally American comedies tend not to do as well but we saw this year with American Pie where the OS actually bettered the DOM gross.

iceroll Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 It's probably mostly due to the Teddy bear, OS audiences love talking animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) Family Guy is huge OS. You guys underrate the power of Seth MacFarlane internationally.
