'Mamma Mia!' rules overseas b.o. yet again

Universal’s “Mamma Mia!” is still rocking the big screen overseas, clinging to the top spot for the fourth consecutive weekend with an estimated $15.3 million in ticket sales, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The hit musical starring Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth, among others, lifted its international total to $356.4 million, a far better performance than its $142.2 million domestic take.

Meanwhile, Pixar’s “WALL-E” finished second with $11.1 million after opening in several new markets, lifting its overseas total to $215.4 million. Ben Stiller’s “Tropic Thunder” followed at No. 3 with a weekend gross of $7.4 million and a total of $41 million.

At No. 4, Universal’s “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” took home $5.6 million, reaching an international total of $283.2 million. Following in fifth place was D.J. Caruso’s action hit “Eagle Eye,” which collected $4.2 million in 13 territories.

Other results from the international box office: “Wanted” scored $4 million to bring its total haul to $182.6 million; Peter Berg’s Will Smith vehicle “Hancock” climbed to $391.7 million after this weekend’s earnings of $2.3 million; “The Dark Knight” reached $460 million; and “Iron Man” earned another $2 million.

Also opening overseas was “The House Bunny,” which grabbed $755,000 in three markets.
