'Transformers 2' tops overseas box office

Michael Bay's anticipated sequel "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" debuted in only two markets this weekend, but that was enough to score $20 million and the top spot at the international box office.

"Fallen" is currently playing at 846 locations in the U.K. and Japan, and it looks like the follow-up to "Transformers" will easily beat the debut of its predecessor. The film opens in the U.S. this Wednesday.

At No. 2, McG's "Terminator Salvation" took home $18.4 million, lifting its total gross to $200 million. Following in third place was Todd Phillips' comedy "The Hangover," which brought its overseas cume to $30.4 million.

Meanwhile, "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" collected $10.4 million in fourth place, reaching a total haul of $192.5 million. "The Proposal" opened in fifth place with a weekend gross of $10 million.

Other results from the overseas box office: "Angels & Demons" picked up $8.4 million for a total of $329.2 million; "Up" brought in $6 million; "State of Play" pulled $3.4 million; and "Drag Me to Hell" collected $2 million.
