The Dark Knight Rises opened with $88 million overseas in a modest 17 territories. We’ll give Rises a preliminary overseas target of $490 million, slightly higher than 2008’s The Dark Knight, which grossed $469 million overseas. If our overseas target is correct, that put puts the worldwide target for Dark Knight Rises at $980 million, just behind The Dark Knight‘s $1.002 billion.
Ice Age: Continental Drift continues its blistering pace overseas, now $440 million to date (up from $339 million last week). We’ll raise the overseas target for Continental Drift to $590 million, which would be the second-highest overseas total for the series (behind $690 million for Ice Age 3 but ahead of Ice Age 2‘s $460 million and Ice Age‘s $207 million).
Amazing Spider-Man is starting to slow down overseas, now $386 million to date (up from $321 million last week).
