Those "Inglourious Basterds" are doing pretty well for themselves, as Quentin Tarantino's WWII drama topped the international box office again this weekend with an estimated $19.4 million in ticket sales. That brings the film's overseas total to $59.1 million. Congrats, Mr. Aldo Raine.
Following the basterds at No. 2 was Fox's animated flick "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs," which bagged another $15 million for a stunning total gross of $635.2 million. To be honest, I never expected this stinker to perform this well internationally.
Meanwhile, new entry "The Final Destination" finished third this weekend, earning $10.1 million in only four markets. At No. 4, "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" took home $8 million, bringing its total gross to $133 million.
David Yates' "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" collected $7.7 million in fifth place, bringing its international cume to $610.5 million. Nicely done as well, Mr. Potter. Worldwide, "Prince" has reached $904.9 million.
Other results from the overseas box office: "Up" pulled $7.1 million; "The Ugly Truth" took home $4.2 million; "G-Force" earned $6.6 million; and "The Proposal" and "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3" each brought in $3.1 million.
