>The biggest gainer in the international box office this week was The Smurfs.  Now with an overseas total of $321 million, The Smurfs has moved past Thor into the #9 position. 


Rise of the Planet of the Apes is starting to stall out overseas and will probably remain in 11th place, just behind Thor.

The Help is just behind #25 (Mr. Popper’s Penguins).  With only $4 million overseas, The Help will not big a big player internationally, but it should pick up enough in the next week or two to make its way into the Top 25 chart.
