'Titanic,' 'Battleship' top worldwide B.O. James Cameron's 3D redux earns $88 mil; U tentpole debuts with $58 mil.
Business boomed this weekend internationally, led by a pair of ship-themed pics, "Titanic" 3D and "Battleship."
"Titanic," released overseas via Fox Intl., grossed an astounding $88.2 million, of which China contributed $58 million -- the best-ever opening locally for Fox. The 3D re-do so far has grossed $146.4 million internationally, with a global cume of $190.8 million.
Universal's "Battleship," meanwhile, bowed in 26 overseas markets, more than a month ahead of its Stateside bow (on May 18), and collected a total estimated $58 million.
Domestically, Lionsgate's "The Hunger Games" continued to display marathon-like stamina, scoring $21.5 million -- its fourth straight win Stateside -- for a cume of $337.1 million.
The weekend's Stateside players, including three wide releases, struggled to keep B.O. totals afloat, down around 12% from this time last year.
Fox's "The Three Stooges" remake performed at the high-end of tracking projections, with an estimated $17.1 million, while Lionsgate's horror pic "The Cabin in the Woods" did OK with $14.9 million. Neither pic represented a major financial investment, however.
The weekend's third new entry, FilmDistrict's "Lockout," from distrib Open Road Films, earned a tepid $6.3 million.
Domestic three-day totals, at an estimated $108 million, clocked in at the lowest so far this year, behind the weekend of March 16-18 with $111 million.
"Battleship" furthers the trend of kick-starting a pic's global run internationally several weeks, if not months, before the U.S. In 2010, Paramount essentially started the summer season first overseas, when the studio bowed "Iron Man 2" internationally before the States. The same happened last fall with "The Adventures of Tintin" -- but more than a month in advance.
In the case of "Battleship," U aimed to avoid a summer pipeline filled with big-budget tentpoles made even more crowded by the Olympics and the European soccer championship.
But even after this weekend's sluggish domestic perf, year to date totals are still up approximately 18%-20% over 2011. As one distribution exec noted, "The biz is definitely in good shape headed into summer."
