Fast Five now challenging Rio for #1 on the January-April international chart. But the race is on: Thor (the first of many high-grossing international films this summer) is nipping at Fast Five’s heels.
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). Rio remains at #1 with $432 million worldwide, followed closely by Fast Five with a current worldwide total just shy of $400 million. Thor (with $370 million worldwide already) is also shown on the chart below, although it will mainly appear in the summer chart (for May-August movies) in a few weeks, as well.

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 temporarily includes one May release (Thor) for comparison purposes. The total numbers at the bottom of the chart show that worldwide box office has crossed the $4.5 billion line, in this, the weakest third of the year. (The totals do not include Thor, a May release.) 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 Wednesday for a look at the mid-week domestic performance of movies currently in release (a combined look at Monday and Tuesday numbers).
