RATATOUILLE remained tops at the overseas box office for the fourth time in a row, earning $21.9-million in 31 markets this weekend. The numbers were particularly impressive because the film has already opened in all the major; there were no new debuts to boost tickets sales this weekend. So far, the foreign sales ahve accumulated to $345.8-million.
SAW IV made a solid debut with $12.6-million in 15 territories, and STARDUST earned $11.2-million. With foreign sales totalling $60-million so far, the fantasy film is far exceeding its anemic U.S. numbers.
RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION added $3.5-million to its $55-million overseas accumulation, which puts its $5-million ahead of the U.S. box office totals.
Finally, the Spanish-language ghost story, THE ORPHANAGE, topped the box office in Spain for the third straight weekend with $4-million earned in 373 theatres. The total stands at $20-million.
