Battleship has stalled overseas — the foreign total is now $235 million (up marginally from $233 million last week). Dark Shadows moved up to $121 million (from $107 million last week), putting the Tim Burton film within sight of maybe $225 million worldwide. The Hunger Games edged up a bit to $247 million overseas (from $244 million last week), making just over $650 million worldwide a likely final outcome. Snow White and the Huntsman enters the chart with $39 million overseas to date. Not shown on the chart until it opens in North America next week, Prometheus opened in some territories this week to $35 million overseas so far.
