A Journey To The West: Conquering The Demons remained in first place with $54.93 million in 6 markets for a total of $168.02 million after three weeks of release. It is the biggest Chinese film released this year, but it won't be the last to get to the century mark.
A Good Day to Die Hard remained in second place with $35.46 million on 10,587 screens in 67 markets for totals of $132.80 million internationally and $184.76 million worldwide. This is enough to cover its production budget, but it still has to work off its global P&A budget. It opened in first place in France with $5.24 million on 650 screens and in Brazil with $2.43 million on 550. Its biggest market so far is Japan where it has made $13.07 million, including $2.82 million on 644 screens this past weekend.

It opened in Germany, but struggled in fourth place with $1.42 million on 377 screens over he weekend for a total opening of $1.68 million.
