Terminator Tumbles but still Takes Number One

August 12, 2003

It looks like Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines has peaked at the international box office. This week its figure dropped nearly $10 million to $25.6 million despite seeing a significant increase in prints to 6489. At this rate it is still one weekend away from hitting $200 million internationally.

Finding Nemo Watch: International Edition is still waiting for break out performances in major markets. It has already become the highest grossing animated movie in several markets including Mexico and Brazil. However, it won’t really take off till it opens in more major markets like Australia on August 28. Its total international take s is less than $60 million and would need to finish at or near $400 million to overtake The Matrix Reloaded as 2003's Worldwide Champion. Something that is in real doubt at this moment.
