MORE FINAL UPDATE, 7:30 PM PST: Grosses for the last film of the weekend, _GODZILLA_, have been added below. All numbers final. 2ND UPDATE, 4:52 PM PST: Grosses are in on everything but

_GODZILLA_ as we are still waiting to hear from Warner Bros. However, they did report for the Tom Cruise sci-fi film _EDGE OF TOMORROW_. So, we have updated grosses for every other film but

the Big Lizard, including Fox’s _THE FAULT IN OUR STARS_, Sony’s_ 22 JUMP STREET_, Fox franchise_ X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, _Sony’s franchise player _THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2, _Uni’s

ill-fated domestic comedy_ A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST _ __and their comedy success _NEIGHBORS_, as well as BABYSITTING, _SPANISH AFFAIRS_, _HER _(which Uni is handling in South

Korea), Fox’s _THE OTHER WOMAN _and just got numbers in for Richard Linklater’s _BOYHOOD_ which was a favorite at the Berlin Film Festival this year and has been winning awards at festivals

Stateside, too. Uni is handling. All Final updated international numbers are below: 1st UPDATE, 6:32 PM PT: The big international news this weekend was the expanded rollout of _EDGE OF

TOMORROW_, and the launch of YA tearjerker _THE FAULT IN OUR STARS_. That’s in some way a mirror of the domestic scene, but not a perfect reflection. Sci-fi actioner _EOT_, from respected

director Doug Liman and starring Tom Cruise, one of the world’s most enduring names, bested the off-shore competition as it rolled out to cover 63 markets and take in $81M overseas. The

movie was not quite so big domestically where it docked at $28.7M in its bow. There, it faced off with _TFIOS_ – and in some international markets this weekend, was beset by that film (see

below). Otherwise, Angelina Jolie-starrer _MALEFICENT_ continued to cast a spell and _X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST_ hit milestones. This weekend was down about 21% on the last, but up 19% on

the same period in 2013. Movies in the market last year included _After Earth_ and the continued runs of _Fast & Furious 6_, _The Hangover Part III_ and _Star Trek Into Darkness_. The

slate of top films in the 2014 comparable frame is slightly similar, but before we start wagging a _plus-ça-change_ finger, it’s worth noting although there are again mega-watt stars and a

franchise continuation, there is also a teen romance doing wild numbers in such markets as BRAZIL and MEXICO. While _Edge Of Tomorrow_ and _X-Men_ rule the day in CHINA, this is the first

week in a while that there has not been a big new local counter-entry in that market. _Overheard 3_ is still playing well and the next weekend sees _Godzilla_ stomp in ahead of _Maleficent_

on June 20. Elsewhere, DreamWorks Animation’s _How To Train Your Dragon 2_ will breathe fire via Fox next weekend in 15 markets including Russia and some Asian and European outlets. Russia

was a No. 2 market for the first episode, and this movie played like gangbusters in Cannes recently. Speaking of Cannes, Palme d’Or winner _Winter Sleep_ goes out in its home territory of

Turkey next week. That should give a sense of how langourous the international market intends to be over the World Cup period that kicks off on June 12. Then again, look for _The Fault In

Our Stars_ which expands to eight markets including Germany (one of the book’s bestselling areas), Scandinavia, Chile and South Africa among others next week. KEY TERRITORY ROUND-UPS ARE

BELOW THE ORIGINAL POST PREVIOUS: 11:45 AM PT: Led by big bows in action-loving China, Korea and Russia, Tom Cruise-starrer _Edge Of Tomorrow_ grossed an estimated $81M on more than 19,000

screens in 63 markets this weekend. That makes the Warner Bros pic the frame’s No. 1 film overseas. The off-shore _EOT_ cume is now $110M, while worldwide is $138.9M. The well-reviewed

sci-fi actioner should prove to be Cruise and director Doug Liman’s biggest ever opening in CHINA with $25.1M at 6,813 screens – a little more than one third of the country’s total dates.

The $25.1M haul is slightly lower than what the film did domestically this weekend and is slightly more than the $23.7M Cruise’s _Oblivion_ did last year in its _entire_ China run. With 57%

of the market share, the movie was a clear No. 1. In KOREA, it’s also No. 1 on 801 screens. The total for the Memorial Day holiday weekend frame was $16.6M, 37% above _Mission: Impossible –

Ghost Protocol_. RUSSIA, which was expected to be Cruise’s biggest opening ever fell short behind _Oblivion_, a sci-fi actioner that bowed here last year. It grossed a total of $7.4M from

1,648 screens over the weekend. WATCH ON DEADLINE RELATED: UPDATE: Int’l Box Office: ‘Edge Of Tomorrow’ Cruises To $60.3M Through Friday; Saturday Lifts China Haul To $16.5M In 333

international IMAX plays, _EOT_ delivered an estimated $7.3M. Of that, CHINA was worth about $3.4M. In KOREA, the IMAX total was said to be above $1.1M. IMAX notes that puts the film on

track to become its 2nd biggest opener in the country behind last year’s _Gravity_ which pulled down $1.18M. MIDDLE EAST IMAX locations grossed $38K per screen. RELATED: International Box

Office: ‘Edge Of Tomorrow’ Dawns To $3.8M In Korea; Overseas Cume At $33M As Rollout Ramps Up Elsewhere, FRANCE was No. 1 with an estimated $3.2M from 585 screens. As was the case last

weekend in several markets, _EOT_ increased there on Saturday, spiking 63%. In its second weekend, the UK grossed $2.1M from 561 screens for a 31% drop from last frame. The cume there is

$7.2M. MEXICO opened to $3.2M from 1,238 screens, exceeding _M:I4_ by 17%, but falling in behind _The Fault In Our Stars_ (see below). Same goes for AUSTRALIA, where _EOT_ was No. 2 with

$2.8M from 477 screens. Other No. 1s were in the UAE’s bow with an estimated $1.2M on 81 screens and in SCANDINAVIA with an estimated $1.4M. Japan remains a major territory to bow on July 4.

With five territories added in its 2nd international frame, Disney’s _Maleficent_ scared up an estimated $61.7M. That takes its overseas total to $210.1M with a global cume of $338.2M.

MEXICO is still the top territory for _Maleficent_ at $29.7M, followed by RUSSIA at $24.1M, and the UK at $18.8M. Across LATIN AMERICA, the average drop-off was about 28% this frame,

according to Disney. In ASIA, the decreases were about 32% and in EUROPE they were higher since the movie opened over a four-day holiday last weekend. Jolie visited CHINA earlier this week

to promote the movie which opens on June 20, seven days after _Godzilla_ stomps into the Middle Kingdom. _X-Men: Days Of Future Past_ earned another $41.1m from 16,289 screens in 76 markets

this weekend. That brings the international cume to $421.2M and the global box office to $610.7M after less than 3 weeks of release. The added coin helped push Fox International over the

$1.5B global box office mark. In CHINA, _DOFP_ added $7.48M from 3,460 screens to cross the $100M mark with $104.3M. It is now the 3rd highest grossing Fox title of all-time in the market,

behind, natch, _Avatar_ and _Titanic_. In KOREA, the gang of mutants grossed $4.02M from 535 locations, reaching the same milestone for Fox as its 3rd biggest movie ever there. The

penultimate market to bow, SPAIN, was a No. 1 with $2.94M on 803 screens. In SINGAPORE ($604K from 58) and MALAYSIA ($456K from 145), the film becomes the No. 2 all-time Fox title, behind

_Avatar_. Other strong holds included BRAZIL ($3M from 765), the UK ($2.96M from 1,047), FRANCE ($2.68M from 740), AUSTRALIA ($2M from 523), MEXICO ($1.67M from 1,225), JAPAN ($1.3M from

653), GERMANY ($1.2M from 780) and RUSSIA ($1.1M from 1,144). Fox’s female-skewing, tearjerking adaptation of John Green’s beloved YA novel _The Fault In Our Stars_ enjoyed a stellar start

in the U.S. where it’s headed towards $48M. While there’s typically a smaller audience and less recognition for this type of film overseas, this weekend’s bow on 2,892 screens in 17 markets

was worth an impressive $16.59M. In BRAZIL, where a large part of the country is focused on the World Cup — and the general state of unpreparedness for the event that starts on Thursday —

young girls flocked to _TFIOS_. The opening was $5.8M on 684 runs – the movie’s No. 1 ex-U.S. perf – and bigger than _Godzilla_, _Divergent_, _Hunger Games_, _Twilight_, and this frame’s

_Edge Of Tomorrow_. (Interesting in this market is that another teen romancer, _Endless Love — _remember that one?_ —_ is entering the marketplace on Thursday). MEXICO also opened bigger

than _Hunger Games_ and _Divergent_ with $3.8M from 1,282. AUSTRALIA, which is habitually a strong market for teen romance, had a No. 1 bow with $3.7M from 272 to loop _Edge Of Tomorrow_

down to the No. 2 slot. Continuing in the counter-programming vein, _TFIOS_ opens in 19 new markets next weekend, including Germany and Switzerland. RELATED: INT’L Box Office: ’22 Jump

Street’ Opens Overseas In UK Far Outpacing First Installment The only studio opener in the UK this weekend, _22 Jump Street_ took advantage of the pre-World Cup slot to infiltrate the box

office, grossing an estimated $8.2M on 456 of its total 866 screens. The bow was three times the original film and 47% more than recent hit _Neighbors_. The original movie in the franchise

performed best in the UK/Ireland and Australia in 2012 with Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill collaring $15.9M in the former and $15.6M in the latter last time around. The Sony comedy also

released in the NETHERLANDS this weekend and was No. 1 with $801K on 86 screens to open 88% ahead of the first installment, which ended up totaling $1.9M when it opened in 2012. Seth

MacFarlane’s _A Million Ways To Die In The West_ opened to $10M in 21 markets last weekend. This frame, its overseas plays total $6.2M at 2,724 dates in 38 territories. That brings the

international cume to $19.75M. Universal says this session’s biggest opening was at No. 4 in TAIWAN with $443K at 67 dates. In DENMARK, it was No. 3 with $265K at 70 dates. AUSTRALIA held

for $1.1M at 243 locations for an 11-day total of $3.9M (it was the top holdover here). The UK cume is now $4.29M after pulling $802K in 468 locales. The UK was the biggest market for

MacFarlane’s _Ted_ in 2012 with $47.4M. This coming weekend it gives Korea, Mexico and Spain a shot. _Frozen_ is STILL doing figure-eights around the competition in JAPAN with an added $5.8M

this weekend – its 29th in international release. The cume there has now risen to $218.3M – a drop of only 22% and a total that’s more than half of its domestic take. The worldwide total is

$1,245.05M. Also opening in Japan this weekend was _THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL_, which checked in with $508K from 100 runs. The Wes Andersen pic’s overseas total is $103.7M. __ Godzilla

thrashed up $4.9M (it was estimated earlier as $5.4M) from approx. 5,600 screens in 64 markets for an international cume to date of $208.2M. The movie goes to China next weekend, which will

be particularly interesting to monitor. After that, the beast returns home to Japan for a July 25th bow via Toho. The top market for this picture so far is the UK with $27.7M, followed by

Mexico with $16.1M and Russia with $15M. The worldwide cume for the lizard, courtesy of Warner Bros. and Legendary films is $393.4M. Universal’s _Neighbors_ grossed an estimated $3.3M at

2,602 dates in 38 territories. OZ was the major holdover with $554K in 195 locations and a total of $15.98M. The international total is now $85.2M. Worldwide, the frat pack has a cume of

$223.2M. There are still 17 territories to bow in the next few months. Universal is counter-programming the movie in LATIN AMERICA where it opens in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Panama in

two weeks, and smack in the middle of World Cup action. Rounding out major studio business, Paramount’s _Noah_ sailed to a further $3.3M in 52 markets for an international cume of $239M

after eight weeks. The movie has yet to release in JAPAN where it anchors on June 13. Fox’s _Rio 2_ added $1.9M from 2,451 screens in 49 markets, to bring the international cume to $342M. In

VENEZUELA, it’s just passed _Frozen_ to become the industry’s all-time biggest movie with $12.8M. Sony’s _The Amazing Spider-Man 2_ continued swinging with $1.1M from 76 territories, for an

overseas cume of $502M. That figure means that international reps 72.1% of the film’s gross versus 65.4% for the original reboot in 2012. Fox’s _The Other Woman_ earned $1.2M from 968

screens in 40 markets, to cross the $95.6M mark. Spain, France and Italy are on deck for the next two weekends. The Academy-award nominated film _HER_ has made $1.7M in Korea since arriving

there 17 days ago; Uni is handling the release for Warner Bros. in that territory. KEY TERRITORY ROUND-UPS UK The UK was relatively wide open this weekend with _22 JUMP STREET_ the only

major studio entry. It opened to a collegial $8.2M to score the No. 1 slot and outperform the debut of recent comedy hit _Neighbors_. _Jump Street_ got a jump on the impending World Cup

meaning it could be one of the comedies that shows legs during the period when most of England’s eyes will be turned towards the pitches of Brazil (and pundits, broadcasters and broadsheets

will spend countless hours attempting, however fruitlessly, to relive 1966 — but, I digress). The film’s strong UK numbers this weekend may be helpful towards blunting any of the potential

damage this movie might face domestically following star Jonah Hill’s paparazzo-directed anti-gay slur last weekend. The star got out in front and delivered an apology on _The Tonight Show_,

and then _Entertainment Tonight_ and it’s possible this was a bigger deal in the States. The UK bow says the film found an audience, regardless as it sailed through with 36% of the

marketplace this weekend. Also in the UK, _EDGE OF TOMORROW_ was in its 2nd frame and held nicely from Friday to Saturday after increasing last weekend over the same 24-hour span but found

itself this weekend in the No. 4 slot. The movie took $2.1M from 561 screens for a drop of 35% and a cume of $7.2M. At No. 2 was _MALEFICENT_, which was shot at Pinewood Studios, and now has

a cume of $18.51M after this frame making it the film’s 3rd best ex-U.S. market; it grossed $4.4M on 513 runs. _X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST_ had a $2.9M weekend and was No. 3 in its 3rd

frame for a cume of $38.87M, beating all previous titles in the franchise. Universal’s _A Million Ways To Die In The West_ placed No. 5 in the UK and Ireland this weekend with $802K at 468

dates and a 10-day cume of $4.29M. CHINA _EDGE OF TOMORROW_ cruised into China this weekend and, as expected, performed solidly. With an estimated $25.1M in the Middle Kingdom, it surpassed

the full run of last year’s Cruise comp _Oblivion_ ($23.7M) which was that film’s biggest market. Cruise remains one of the biggest international stars out there, and the movie was expected

to perform well in territories that are high on famous faces mixed with action. While it’s gotten strong reviews and has great word of mouth, it’s not sure that can hold off _Godzilla_ next

week – already a potential hornet’s nest given the history between China and Japan from whence the creature, if not this film, comes. Both are released by Warner Bros so they have that going

for them. Another major star – and one who replaced Cruise in thriller _Salt_ a few years ago — Angelina Jolie, was in China last week to promote _Maleficent_’s release there. (Disney has

big skin in the China game, recently announcing a further $800M investment in the Shanghai Disney Resort that’s set to open in 2015.) The female-centric, animated, _Frozen_ did $48.7M in

China so we’ll wait and see what this unpredictable market has in store for a kind of villainess in live action from the same studio on June 20. Also in China this weekend, _X-MEN: DAYS OF

FUTURE PAST_ blew past the $100M mark reaching $104.3M to make it the No. 4 movie of the year there. Hong Kong thriller _OVERHEARD 3_ added $6.5M in six Asian markets for a $47M cume. KOREA

Through June 1, the Korean box office had four local films amongst the Top 10. They include _Miss Granny_, _The Attorney_, _The Fatal Encounter_ and _The Target_, all of which I’ve written

about previously. Most recently, _The Target_, which debuted in Cannes. The top six U.S. films through June 1 are _Frozen_, _The Amazing Spider-Man 2_, _Captain America: The Winter Soldier_,

_X-Men: Days Of Future Past_, _Non-Stop_ and _Noah_. This week, Lee Jeong-beom’s assassin thriller _THE CRYING MAN_ opened via CJ Entertainment and cumed $4M to be the 16th top grosser

worldwide in the frame. But it was _EDGE OF TOMORROW_ that was the big news out of Korea this weekend with a $16.3M bow over the five-day Memorial Day period on 801 screens. It bowed at No.

1. By way of comparison, Cruise’s _Oblivion_ did $9.9M total last year. _Maleficent_ has now earned $8.2M in the market which is the No. 2 territory for _Frozen_. Also, the

Universal-released _HER_ has a 17-day total of $1.7M, currently at 58 dates. The local title A Hard Day took the No. 2 spot, X-Men took No. 3, Maleficent No. 4 in the territory. Rounding out

the Top Five was local title _No Tears for the Dead_. LATIN AMERICA Coupled with Tom Cruise living, dying and repeating himself around the world this weekend, the performance of _THE FAULT

IN OUR STARS_ in BRAZIL and MEXICO is the other big story. In MEXICO _EOT_ opened to $3.2M from about 1,238 screens and exceeded _MI4_ by 17%. And yet, it was _TFIOS_ that grabbed the lion’s

share of that market and Brazil. In the latter, it earned an estimated $5.87M and was the movie’s No. 1 ex-U.S. perf. It also bested the openings of _Godzilla_, _Divergent_, _Hunger Games_

and _Twilight_. In MEXICO, it opened bigger than _Hunger Games_ and _Divergent_ with $3.8M from 1,282. The biggest sales markets for the book upon which the movie is based have been the UK

and Australia, but also Brazil, Germany and Mexico. That helps explain the massive debut and could be the key to the film holding throughout the World Cup. _MALEFICENT_, by the way, is at a

$12.6M cume. RUSSIA _EDGE OF TOMORROW_ was expected to bring Cruise his biggest local opening ever in Russia, but fell short there with $7.4M on 1,648 screens in the under served, yet

fast-burn market. This opening is behind Demonstrating just how fast-burn Russia is, _X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST_ opened there on May 23 to $10.3M and a No. 1 spot for that weekend. The

subsequent week, it fell to No. 2 with $3.69M. This weekend, it’s down to No. 4 with $1.1M. Its cume is now $20.3M in this territory. _Edge Of Tomorrow_ will have a relatively wide berth

when it comes to comparable Hollywood fare next week, but _How To Train Your Dragon 2_ does enter on June 13. GERMANY Richard Linklater’s _BOYHOOD_ debuted here after being a film festival

favorite in Berlin this year and at Sundance, South by Southwest and Seattle in the states (it just won three top awards in Seattle). The film, which Linklater wrote and directed over a

12-year period with the same cast, follows a boy from first grade to senior year in high school who must cope with the divorce of his parents (Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette). Not

surprising that after a warm reception in Berlin that it made its debut in Germany, Austria and Switzerland this weekend. Grosses just came in Monday and they show it grossed $334K at 124

runs in those three countries. It opened in limited release in 91 dates in Germany and had the second-best screen average of all the film this weekend with $3,032. American titles dominated

Germany this weekend. Although no new debuts, _MALEFICIENT_ held onto the No 1. spot here with a $1.8M weekend gross bringing its territory cume to $8M. The Disney film was followed by_

X-MEN _in the No. 2 spot with $1.2M for a total cume to date of $11.8M. Okay, how embarrassing is this? For Germany and for Cruise: Both in their sophomore frames, Tom Cruise’s _EDGE OF

TOMORROW_ lost out to_ A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST_, which came in No. 3 with about $946K compared to EOT with about $768K. Rounding out the Top Five was _NEIGHBORS_. SPAIN In the same

week as King Juan Carlos said he was abdicating to allow his son Felipe a shot at the throne, Spain finally saw the arrival of the _X-MEN_. The once and future mutants had a No. 1 debut of

$2.94M on 803 screens. The release sets it up nicely to have endure during some of the World Cup. Spain is the defending champion from four years ago (also the Euro Cup winners in 2012) and

is mad, mad, mad about _fútbol_. No. 2 was_ Maleficent_ in its second weekend; No. 3 was _Edge of Tomorrow,_ also in its second frame. So, while Universal’s smash _SPANISH AFFAIRS_ is

starting to wind down (No. 5 this week – its 13th – with $329K and a cume of $75.9M on a 297 date run), it’s a good time to be in the market. Other movies opening this week included local

drama _Blockbuster_ and the animated _Pancho_. In its second weekend, _EDGE OF TOMORROW_ grossed $544K with a big 75% increase from Friday to Saturday. It’s cume is now $2.5M. FRANCE _EDGE

OF TOMORROW_ faced off with French comedy _SOUS LES JUPES DES FILLES_ (a sort of _Sex And The City_ à la française) this week when it bowed on Wednesday and took the No. 1 spot. The first

day score was 83,213 admissions for _EOT_ versus 80,085 for _Les Filles_. Those figures included sneaks as is custom. Ultimately, Warner says it was the leader at the end of the weekend with

an estimated $3.2M from 585 screens – and, notably, a 63% spike on Saturday. Tom Cruise has a good track record in France where he’s the eighth highest draw amongst U.S. stars going back to

1993 (and not including this week), according to CBO Box Office. His Top Five films include the first two _Mission: Impossible_ movies, _War Of The Worlds_ and _Minority Report_. _X-MEN:

DAYS OF FUTURE PAST_ was No. 2 this week with $2.68M on 740 runs for a total cume of $24.3M. Meanwhile, _MALEFICENT_ has now earned $7.9M in the market; it took in $2.2M this weekend on 593

dates to take No. 4 after local title _Homosapiennes_. After a lackluster year in 2013, French movies are doing impressive box office with six titles in the Top 10 as of last week; one of

them is _BABYSITTING_ which Universal is releasing locally. That comedy, which is the 4th biggest local film in this country, has now taken $17.6M and has passed the coveted 2M admissions

mark, grossing $269K at 300 dates.
