Hangover Part II and Kung Fu Panda 2 added to the Worldwide gross list in the top 10, both with much more upside to come.
Hangover Part II enters the 2011 Worldwide gross list at #5 (and Kung Fu Panda at #7), both having solid openings in only a few markets.  As both films expand around the world, the overseas total will balloon, pushing them toward the top of the list.  Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, playing all around the world, skyrockets to almost half a billion dollars overseas alone.
Complete chart available after the jump.
