Four new films opened this weekend in North America and have joined our worldwide box office tracking chart. Three of the four are toward the bottom of the chart and are destined to stay there. The other film, Act of Valor, is currently in the middle of the pack but should rise as moderate overseas box office comes in. We are currently projecting Act of Valor to hit $68 million in domestic box office, and the current zero overseas tally should go to about $40 million given the track record of movies about the U.S. military. That would put the film ranked around 16th or 17th among the films released in the last three months. (Click "read more" to see the latest chart.)
In contrast, Tyler Perry's Good Deeds, Wanderlust and Gone will not receive much -- if any -- box office overseas. Tyler Perry's films generally receive no international distribution at all, while bombs like Wanderlust and Gone do not visit foreign theaters in almost all territories.
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island continues to do brisk business overseas, now up to $159 million outside North America to go along with the projected $118 million domestic final. The film has an outside shot of reaching $300 million worldwide. The Vow and Safe House remain in the low-$30 million range overseas.
