That’s the biggest February opening, the top R-rated opening and Universal’s 2nd best opening of all time there. The only new opening this frame was Trinidad where Fifty Shades picked up a record-breaking $296K at 16 dates. Playing at 10,323 dates in 58 markets, the film is No. Fifty Shades has overtaken the lifetime international box office of Sex And The City ($263M) and tomorrow will pass the first Hunger Games‘ overseas total of $283M.

1 in North America - down 73% week-on-week – the offshore dip was just 56%.

PREVIOUS, 8:42 AM PT: Fifty Shades Of Grey continued to dominate the international box office this weekend, holding the No. While we wait on numbers from Warner Bros, figures for Fifty Shades, Kingsman, SpongeBob, Theory and more from the other studios are below the original post. Elsewhere, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water soaked up a fair bit of the kids and family business, and special mention goes to Oscar hopeful The Theory Of Everything, which crossed $100M worldwide today. The Colin Firth-starrer has become the top R-rated import into Korea ever - bigger than all James Bond and Jason Bourne movies - capitalizing on the Chinese New Year period which kicked off on Thursday and impacts box office in the regionwith $17.8M. But Fifty Shades wasn’t the only game in town around the globe as Fox’s Kingsman: The Secret Service exerted particularly tactical force in Asia. That helped the Universal and Focus Features title blow past $400M worldwide to $405.1M - with a lot of heat coming from the UK, Germany, France and Brazil. Also next week, Sound Editing Oscar winner American Sniper targets Germany, and Animated Feature laureate Big Hero 6 muscles into China.ġST UPDATE, 11:43 AM PT: International moviegoers shelled out $63.2M this weekend to see big spender Christian Grey woo lip-biter Anastasia Steele, bringing Fifty Shades‘ offshore cume to $275.97M after two weekends. Speaking of Fox Searchlight, the division’s Best Picture Oscar winner, Birdman, flies to France on Wednesday in one of its remaining international bows.

It rolls out in more than 30 offshore markets, including the UK and Russia, beginning Wednesday. Later this week, Fifty Shades will be faced with Warner Bros’ Will Smith con man comedy Focus both domestically and internationally. But it was up compared to last year’s similar frame which saw the entry of The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug into the Middle Kingdom and a big Robocop bow in Brazil. Overall, this overseas weekend was down compared to last frame when Fifty Shades racked up $156M over the three-day. (More detail after the initial posts below.) In total, the seven Chinese New Year/Spring Festival titles in Rentrak’s Top 20 grossed roughtly $120M in their market debuts. Just behind it was Chow Yun-fat gambling/action comedy From Vegas To Macau II which rolled to $29M in four Asian plays. That Jackie Chan period actioner, which also stars Adrien Brody and John Cusack, also picked up $33M. While the latter film benefited from the Chinese New Year celebrations in Asian markets - save China where it doesn’t bow until March 27 – it tied with the top title released this frame in the Middle Kingdom, Dragon Blade. Among studio titles this frame, it was followed by Fox’s Kingsman: The Secret Service with $33.4M in 59 markets and a new R-rated record in Korea. Combined with domestic, Fifty Shades stands at $405.1M worldwide.
