The big gainers overseas this week were The Expendables 2 (up $36 million to $102 million), The Dark Knight Rises (up another $29 million to $603 million overseas to date), Brave (up $17 million) and Step Up Revolution (up $11 million). Not reporting yet are Bourne Legacy and Ice Age: Continental Drift.
The Words will not be a player overseas, but the other opener this weekend, The Cold Light of Day, has already banked $13 million overseas — far above the $2+ million it will gross total domestically.
