‘The Happening’ dominates overseas box office

happeningoverseasbo.jpgM. Night Shyamalan’s new mystery thriller “The Happening” topped the international box office this weekend with an estimated $32 million in ticket sales from 88 territories, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Marvel’s “The Incredible Hulk” opened in only 38 markets but came in second with an impressive $31 million. If you add these figures to the domestic results, the picture looks a little different.

The worldwide total for “Hulk” is currently estimated at $85.5 million, while “The Happening” scored $62.5 million (click here for full North American box office report).

Sex and the City” has been dominating the overseas box office for almost two weeks, but the New Line Cinema chick flick slipped to No. 3 this weekend with $23.3 million. “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” finished with a weekend gross of $18.5 million.

Other foreign results: “Kung Fu Panda” pulled in $14 million, while “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” earned $11.2 million.
