This Means War still hanging on. It was a damn fun ride to watch.

On that list I've also seen Safe House, 1000 Words, and 21 Jump St.
* Eddie was good for the first time in a long time, reminded me of Carey in Liar Liar

Ghost rider isn't on there but I caught that too.

Casa De Mi Padre isn't doing too bad considering it is in Spanish and is a limited release. Good hold for 21 Jump Street to only drop 44%.

The Hunger Games Not Quite As Strong Overseas

Coinciding with its record-breaking domestic debut, The Hunger Games also launched in 67 overseas markets this weekend. It didn't exactly set the global box office on fire, though: the movie's estimated $59.25 million haul is very solid for the first in a new franchise, but it's a far cry from the remarkable $152.5 million start in the U.S.

The Hunger Games did take first place in most markets, including all of the major ones. It was most impressive in English-speaking countries Australia ($9.5 million) and the United Kingdom ($7.8 million), and it was also strong in Russia ($6.6 million). It had decent debuts in Germany ($4.3 million) and France ($3.8 million), but was comparatively stronger in the major Latin American markets Mexico ($3.6 million) and Brazil ($3.1 million).

Worldwide, The Hunger Games opened to $211.8 million, which ranks 21st all-time and fourth for a non-sequel behind Avatar, The Da Vinci Code and 2012. It still has a handful of significant launches on the horizon, including Japan, South Korea, Spain and Italy (it's unclear right now if it's going to open in China as well).

John Carter dropped 46 percent to an estimated $22.2 million, which brings its foreign total to a decent $172.1 million. The sci-fi epic still has to open in Japan, and it's almost guaranteed to close with well over $200 million overseas, though that's little consolation given how poor the movie has performed domestically (just $62.8 million through 18 days).

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel expanded to 18 markets and had its best weekend yet with $8.1 million. The geriatric comedy had its top opening in Australia, where it took second place behind The Hunger Games with $3.8 million. With $33.1 million in the bank already, the movie will expand in to nine more markets this weekend and is set for a limited release in the U.S. on May 4.

The Intouchables continued its unprecedented run this weekend with another $7.7 million from eight territories. Most notably, the movie debuted in second place in South Korea with just over $3 million including preview screenings. That's the first major non-European launch, and the strong figure is the latest indication that the French comedy/drama has truly universal appeal. So far, the movie has earned $291.7 million overseas, and The Weinstein Company has a New York/Los Angeles opening planned for May 25.

Sometime last week, Martin Scorsese's period drama Hugo passed the $100 million mark overseas. The movie has now made roughly $103.5 million overseas for a worldwide total just under $177 million.

Surprising that Hunger Games didn't have that big of an impact outside of North America. Nearly $10 million in Australia is incredible and I am sure that Liam Hemsworth being in the film gave it a boost here.

Hunger Games was awful. Two hours of those boring main characters was enough to put me to sleep. The concept was alright, though. I guess that is all you need now. It also needed more Woody Harrelson.

Keith's Box Office Top Ten of the Year.

1. The Cabin in the Woods (Lionsgate) 8/10
2. The Hunger Games (Lionsgate) 7/10

Will update this as I go along, the new release I really want to see this week is Cabin in the Woods, might see if I can catch 21 Jump Street too.

Mirror Mirror looking like it might turn out to be a bit of a flop, it only entered at number three in the UK this week, for me the other Snow White movie looks far more impressive.

Amazing that Hunger Games reached the $300 million mark so fast. Hasn't caught on as much in the rest of the world with "only" $157 million so basically half the North American box office. Still it is hugely profitable and the other two books will be coverted to movies very soon.

American Reunions debut was disappointing, expected it to be closer to $30 million since they had the full cast back. Maybe the home video releases hurt the brand a bit. Titanic did okay as a re-release considering it is three hours long.

3 Stooges opens this weekend and I hope it bombs.

Yeah it really annoys me that Titanic has done so well on re-release, can only think there are a whole new set of movie goers who never saw it the first time around, of course this will add fuel to the whole 3D is the future argament, and that bugs me even more!
