X-Men: First Class added to the Worldwide gross list in the top 10, while Pirates 4 continues to dominate.
X-Men: First Class enters the 2011 Worldwide gross list at #8, while Hangover Part II is closing in on Thor and should take fourth place as early as next week. Kung Fu Panda 2 jumped past Rango in the rankings this week. Bridesmaids, which still has not been released overseas, moved into a tie for #15. But the gold standard remains Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which has grossed $600 million overseas alone.
Complete chart available after the jump.
The 56 films released so far this year total $7.4 billion in worldwide box office, with almost exactly half coming from overseas. As we move through the summer, we expect the overseas share to grow because blockbusters tend to do well exceedingly well in foreign markets.
