Universal Passing $1B At Overseas Box Office
Universal Pictures International said it will surpass $1 billion in international box office today. That marks the fastest it has reached the milestone, eclipsing the 2008 record of August 16. It’s the sixth consecutive year Universal has gone past the threshold, this time owing to such movies as Safe House ($77.5M), Dr Seuss’ The Lorax ($99.7M, with nine territories still to open), American Reunion ($177.4M, Battleship ($238M) and Snow White And The Huntsman ($220M). Most recently, the studio’s Ted opened in four territories and has already grossed $32.3Ml and still to come in 2012 are tentpole pics The Bourne Legacy, The Man With The Iron Fists, and Les Miserables.
I don’t think The Man With The Iron Fists is ‘tent pole’. Only cost twenty mill.
Must be that one part of the tent is really low….
After Battleship totally shat the bed Universal don’t even have a tent anymore, they just have a bunch of cardboard boxes that are all taped together.
