Meantime, take a look at the following chart and see the not so fine line between delirious success and despondent failure in movie-making. (For those of you wanting to see the numbers presented in a more traditional table, don't worry -- the Top 25 worldwide film table can be found after the jump.)

How to read: From left to right, the first two numbers are a film's rankings Last Week (LW) and This Week (TW), Worldwide gross (in millions), which is the sum of Estimated Domestic Final and International gross to date. (The two numbers do not always add up to the worldwide number exactly due to rounding.) The International Impact Ratio indicates relative international performance. The Domestic number is either the actual final gross or the latest ShowbuzzDaily Domestic Ultimate estimate if the movie is still playing. The Overseas number is the actual gross to date, which tends to lag in reporting. An asterisk indicates significant overseas upside to come. The International Impact Ratio is the film's Overseas number divided by its Domestic number.
The worldwide box office ranking now includes movies released in 2011 through April 29. The total numbers at the bottom of the chart show that worldwide box office has crossed the $4.2 billion line, in this, the weakest third of the year. A reminder, we divide the year into thirds (Winter/Spring movies released between January and April, Summer Movies between May and August, and Fall/Holiday movies between September and December). We will chart the January-April movies through the end of May, when we will start tracking the international audience for the May-August films.
Check back tomorrow for a look at the mid-week domestic performance of movies currently in release (a combined look at Monday and Tuesday numbers).
