The Da Vinci Code maintained much of its allure in the international marketplace this weekend, in spite of competition from new ultra-wide release X-Men: The Last Stand.
The X-Men sequel -- which had a record-breaking $107m North American debut and opened day-and-date in 95 other territories should still emerge as the international marketplaces biggest performer (distributor Fox International delayed issuing international figures until Monday, apparently because of the US Memorial Day holiday). But it appears to have faced stiff competition from Da Vinci in several major markets.
In its second weekend, the Holy Grail-themed thriller from Sony Pictures Releasing International (SPRI) grossed an estimated $92.8m from 12,038 screens in 82 territories, down a modest 40% from the films record-breaking international opening haul of $154.7m. The gross put Da Vincis international total to date at an impressive $320m.
According to estimates issued by SPRI on Sunday, Da Vinci held off Last Stand and retained number one spot in three major markets. In Germany, it fell just 13% to $11.6m from 1,165 screens, for a running total in the territory of $29.8m. In Italy, it dropped 43% to $6.4m from 910 screens, for a $23.4m total. And in Spain it fell by the same percentage to $6.3m from 752 screens, for a $20.7m total.
The film also took the top spot in two markets where its blockbuster rival did not open: in Japan, Da Vinci fell only 19% to $9.15m from 865 screens (for a $32.8m total), and in Korea it was off 45% to $4m from 210 screens (total - $15.4m).
The film dropped to number two in other major markets, SPRI reported. In the UK it was down 49% to $8.9m from 107 screens (total - $34.7m). In France it was off a very healthy 30% to $8.4m from 969 screens (total - $23.3m). In Australia it dropped 52% to $3.2m from 560 (total - $11.9m). In Mexico it fell 54% to $3m from 768 (total - $12.8m). And in Brazil it dived 61% to $2.8m from 534 (total $9.8m).
Da Vinci performed well in a number of smaller markets, staying at number one in Holland (where it actually increased its gross by 9%), Belgium (down only 2%), Switzerland (down 12%), Greece (down 12%), Sweden (down 19%), Austria (down 31%), Denmark (down 49%) and Argentina (down 35%).
The films only new market was India, where it opened with $655,000 from 120 screens and came in second to local hit Fanaa.
