Foreign box office still sings for ‘Mia’
Sep 15th, 2008 | By David Harper | Category: MoviesVariety: “Mamma Mia!” remained golden at the international box office, easily winning the weekend with $17.5 million at 4,296 playdates in 44 markets in a frame dominated by summer successes.
Universal’s feel-good tuner has totaled an eye-popping $307 million outside the United States, dwarfing the $139 million domestic cume. And with back-to-back first-place finishes, it has kept overall foreign business decent at a time when moviegoing often lags.
