The table below shows the domestic and international grosses for the Top 25 films (out of the 47 movies released between January and April at over 500 theaters). Fast Five is still the #1 film worldwide released between January and April, although the fourth Pirates has almost matched Fast Five after only one weekend.

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 total numbers at the bottom of the chart show that worldwide box office has crossed the $4.7 billion line for the movies released January-April. (The totals do not include Pirates, Thor or Bridesmaids, all May releases.) Overseas grosses have almost caught up to the domestic total for January-April, while we expect overseas to beat domestic by a wide margin in the summer period.
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.
