Ted = Universal's biggest 2012 hit.The better question should be: Will Ted become the biggest R comedy ever worldwide ?

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.

300M OS locked.

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!

[CJohn]

Brazil will get the movie in September.

[Heretic]

Should do between $8-10m in it's 5 day UK opening.

Brazil will get the movie in September.

Still not as late as France!

Should do between $8-10m in it's 5 day UK opening.

Indeed it should and hopefully it will hit at least $35M with great WOM.

Expected number in Russia is between $3 and 4m this weekend.

Why this movie is so successful as a comedy? 69% on Rotten Tomatoes...I must admit I'm looking forward for its French release in October.

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.

I came here to see if this was already posted. Ted is kicking ass.

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!

[Jonwo]

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]

It's probably mostly due to the Teddy bear, OS audiences love talking animals.

[CJohn]

Family Guy is huge OS. You guys underrate the power of Seth MacFarlane internationally. All my friends wanted to see the movie because of him! I wanted to see the movie because of him.

Plus parsnips are quiet a popular root vegetable overseas.

[Jonwo]

Its at $54m at the moment, it should easily do around $150m OS maybe $200m if legs are good. $300m OS isn't going to happen.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

It will happen. Ted will become biggest R comdey WW. 600M is happening.
