The Hollywood Reporter has some quick overseas numbers, and THE SMURFS continues to feed the seemingly endless international appetite for 3D family movies. Smurfs has reached an unbelievable $364M overseas, for a worldwide total of half a billion dollars.
RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES also has a very handsome $250M internationally, but it's a lesser increment over its $174M domestic gross. Predictably, that's even more true of CAPTAIN AMERICA, whose $186M overseas is just barely over its $174M in the US. And COWBOYS AND ALIENS, which is close to eking out $100M domestically, has only $66M to its name overseas. (In terms of major territories, both Captain and Cowboys have yet to play Japan, and Cowboys hasn't hit Russia yet either.)On a far smaller scale, FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS, in a genre that doesn't always hit internationally, has impressively equalled its $55M US gross. In comparison, CRAZY STUPID LOVE is only at $35M overseas, despite US boxoffice over $80M.
The FINAL DESTINATION franchise has been surviving (unlike its stars) on its overseas business, and the fifth installment is no exception, with around $105M that more than doubles its $42M domestic result.
