INTERNATIONAL BOX OFFICE NUMBERS through March 11

>John Carter joins the worldwide box office chart, ranked at #13 out of 44 wide-release films over the past three months.  We are currently estimating John Carter could total $75 million in North America, but the overseas total to date is already $70 million.  If the overseas total ends up around $125 million, the film could end up with a worldwide total just behind Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, moving up to a #6 or #7 ranking.  Click “read more” to see the updated chart.

The other films opening this weekend, Silent House and A Thousand Words, are dead last in the worldwide ranking, each with little chance of moving their overseas total above the current level of zero.

The Lorax has only grossed $2 million total to date overseas, in what appears to be an extremely slow rollout beyond North America.
