Latest from the B.O.:
Quote:
Godzilla earned an estimated $103 million from 64 overseas markets this weekend. Warner Bros. reports that 51 percent of sales were from 3D showings. Included in there is $14.1 million from IMAX, which is the biggest haul on those large-format screens so far this year.
The audience for Godzilla was 58 percent male, and 60 percent were 25 years of age or older. They awarded the movie a "B+" CinemaScore, which for this genre indicates mixed word-of-mouth.
The movie's biggest markets were the U.K. ($10.4 million) and Russia ($9.1 million), and it had the top opening of the year in Australia ($6.1 million). Other major territories included Mexico ($8.9 million), France ($6.5 million), Korea ($4.5 million), Brazil ($4.2 million), Italy ($3.6 million) and Spain ($1.6 million).
With tough competition from X-Men: Days of Future Past, it's going to take a big hit next weekend: still, it almost certainly has enough juice to end up over $230 million.
Godzilla opens in China in June, and then Japan in July. If it lives up to its potential in those two markets, it should wind up with over $400 million.

On a lighter note: Jimmy Kimmel says,"Godzilla is real!" and people believe him!
