Transformers 2 is #1 overseas, Terminator 4 is #2

Hollywood Reporter informs us that TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN, which opened in only a couple of major foreign markets last week, nevertheless managed to blast its way to the top of the overseas box office charts, earning nearly $20-million in Japan and England. The sequel outperformed the opening of the original TRANSFORMERS film in both territories.

Apparently foreign audiences have a taste for high-tech sci-fi hardware this summer, because the #2 film this week is TERMINATOR SALVATION, which grossed over $18-million overseas, after having been #1 last weekend.
