surely300 in GreeceUp in Venzuela...Did the Passion Of The Christ do well in Israel?

Passion was never released, its target audience is Christians and there are not many of those in Israel.But You don't Mess With The Zohan is Sandler's biggest film here.

[ecstasy]

so Damon is not missed

LOL I don't think anyone noticed there. Their country was in a major Hollywood film. That's the real star.

[forg]

Saw on BOM that BL grossed $2.65M. Seems pretty damn solid. After looking at the previous posts, it looks like it's the 2nd biggest opening this year.

How is everyone holding up there anyway?

Yeah big box office for TBL! Although WOM is also mixed from what I gathered. The weather is better now in Metro Manila and nearby provinces but another storm affected North Luzon

Anyway, here's the press release of the movie's distributor

“The Bourne Legacy ” Thunders Past Php112 Million Mark

http://www.clickthec...movies/?p=15960

“Bourne Legacy” unmoved by the monsoon in Philippine theatres!

Bourne Legacy breaks box-office records in RP- Total gross of Bourne Legacy during its 1st 5 days of release in the Philippines hit a hefty US$ 2.7M (estimated P112 million).

According to a statement from Solar Entertainment, the local film distributor, “The Bourne Legacy exceeded all our expectation”, said Wilson Tieng in a statement. “We expected it to open big and break its own record but this is phenomenal.

We would like to thank the exhibitors for expanding their market and we look forward to what promises to be a magical run for the film.” Despite relentless rains in Metro Manila Filipinos flocked en masse to theaters nationwide to watch The Bourne Legacy would be the first Hollywood film in which Manila plays Manila and sailed past the Php17.6M opening day the biggest opening day for a Bourne franchise.

The Bourne Legacy has already doubled and tripled the lifetime gross of 2002, The Bourne Identity (P36.80M), 2004 The Bourne Supremacy (P35.90M), 2007 The Bourne Ultimatum (P 58.07M) in a span of 5 days.

Our tourist guide in Lebanon a Christian could speak Aramean - a movie for him. I asked him whether he has visited the Holy Land - no chance. They see themselves as Phoenicians and not as Arabs btw. Edited August 17, 2012 by Rudolf

Bourne is strong in the Phillipines. But we knew that would be the case. Everybody so excited to see the Phillipines in a big Hollywood movie. I think it's great.

Good to hear that things are getting better over there. That's a pretty damn good opening for BL but to be expected. You said WOM is mixed. Is it similar to WOM here in the states?

[forg]

^ Yup, been hearing it's boring and pales in comparison to the previous one but well seeing the country in a big movie makes up for whatever they thought about the movie

I hear we're going to get Ted on September.

Is Bourne still number 1?

[wileECoyote]

I hear we're going to get Ted on September.

If you love Family Guy you'll love Ted. Damn funny movie.

Is Bourne still number 1?

Yeah what's up with the international numbers? At least Australia is looking good.

[forg]

BOM is not updated yet so I don't know if Bourne is still #1 . The Expendables 2 could've challenged it. I hope BOM updates the data tomorrow

WileECoyote: I like Family Guy so I think I'll enjoy Ted

BOM finally updated! yay!
