It was down 65% in Japan, which is a market known for its strong holds. The film has been troubled by sharp drop-offs internationally, and that was certainly the case this past weekend, as it was down 65% in Japan. Terminator Salvation fell to second place with $18.94 million on 9263 screens in 71 markets over the weekend, for a total of $200.84 million internationally and $320.57 million worldwide. International Details - Terminating Another Milestone On the other hand, I'm not sure the film will do as well in most non-English speaking markets, as comedy tends to be harder to translate into other cultures. It will also top Terminator Salvation in this market, and could beat out Angels and Demons as well. Over in Australia it managed to dip just 30% to $1.80 million on 227 screens over the weekend for a total of $9.07 million. It is a couple of weeks away from overtaking Terminator Salvation in that market. it was down just 15% to $3.15 million on 425 screens over the weekend and $18.50 million after three.
TERMINATOR SALVATION (BLU RAY) FULL

The Hangover climbed into second place with $11.14 million on 2091 screens in 28 markets for a total of $47.81 million. International Details - Hanging Out with Hangover It also was impressive in China adding $5.2 million on 1009 screens for a total of $41.6 million, while it remained in first place in Australia with $4.95 million on 456 screens over the weekend and $21.51 million after two, and in Italy with $1.39 million on 565 screens over the weekend for a total of $8.06 million, also after two. The film's biggest market of the weekend was South Korea where it placed first adding $7.76 million on 1076 screens to its total of $27.81 million. This puts the film less than $100 million behind the original internationally, which is a lead that won't last long. Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen fell to second place with $57.50 million on 9158 screens in 61 markets for a total of $301.64 million. International Details - Transformers Involved in Change on Top

Over the weekend it added $34.27 million on 8210 screens in 62 markets for a total of $371.24 million internationally and $710.46 million worldwide.

Ice Age - Dawn of the Dinosaurs became the all-time highest grossing animated film on the international scene during the past week. The best of this week's releases that I can give a more detailed review for is Mystery Science Theater 3000 - XVI - Limited Edition Box Set. Unfortunately, when it comes to most of the really interesting releases, I'm still waiting for the screener to arrive, so I can't tell if they are DVD Pick of the Week material. That said, we are still in the heart of holiday shopping season, which means there are a couple of $100 million hits on this week's list, as well as some titles that are of interest. It's the week after Black Friday, which is widely reported as the busiest shopping day of the year, so it comes as no surprise that there are fewer releases this time around than there have been in recent weeks (including just a trio of spotlight reviews).Īfter all, it makes sense to release a DVD / Blu-ray before Black Friday rather than after. The bold credits above the line are the "above-the-line" credits, the other the "below-the-line" credits.
