>The Hunger Games has moved up to $216 million overseas (up from $194 million last week).  The film is probably headed for a worldwide total of $650 million, including the $388 million forecast domestic total.  Click “read more” to see the updated weekly worldwide table.     

Titanic 3D is doing even better internationally, now at $225 million overseas to date (up from $146 million overseas last week).  China’s total alone now stands at $105 million (up from $58 million at this time last week).  Russia’s total for the 3D re-release is now $10.3 million (up from $5.2 million last week), while Italy is now $8.2 million (up from $3.1 million last week).

Battleship (from Universal) has now grossed $129.6 million overseas (up from the $58 million international opening last week).  The film opens in North America May 18.   

This weekend’s North America openers (Think Like a Man, The Lucky One and Chimpanzee) should have extremely limited potential overseas in coming weeks.
