Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

While North American audiences rushed to see Judd Apatow's "Funny People," David Yates' "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" retained its top spot at the overseas box office with a weekend gross of $42.7 million.

Playing in 64 markets, the sixth installment in the series has lifted its international gross to $492.3 million. Worldwide, "Prince" has already collected a superb $747.7 million.

At No. 2, Pixar's animated family adventure "Up" took home another $23.7 million in 23 territories. Its total gross currently stands at $80.2 million, with more openings to follow during the next months.

Following in third place with $22.3 million was "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs," which brought its overseas cume to $549.7 million. Internationally, that makes it the highest-grossing animation flick of all time.

Meanwhile, Anne Fletcher's "The Proposal" generated $11 million, lifting its total gross to $78.2 million. At No. 5, Disney's "G-Force" finished the weekend with $10.9 million for a cumulative of $11.4 million.
