Foreign Box Office

Animation is still doing business, but there are no new cartoons of late so the attention has swung to live-action.

Django opened 30% ahead of Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, which generated slightly more than $200 million in total overseas box office, about 60% of its worldwide take.

Django opened No. 1 in at least 23 markets including the U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Belgium and Poland “even with much of Europe buried under snow this weekend,” ...

As for animated features, here are the stats:

Hotel Transylvania -- $2.8 million foreign gross -- $173.8 million foreign cume -- Worldwide Total: $319,502,512

Rise of the Guardians -- $2.5 million -- $191.7 million foreign total -- Worldwide Cume: $290.1 million

Wreck-It Ralph -- $156.9 million foreign total -- Worldwide total: $337.7 million

The Mojo highlights that Life of Pi and Rise of the Guardians now run neck and neck domestically. Where Pi has really stepped out ahead of Guardians is in the foreign arena. There it owns a $181 million advantage.
