'Sex and the City' highly rated overseas
Rom com gives 'Indiana' a run for its money
Early fears that romantic comedies could not travel overseas were somewhat assuaged over the weekend as New Line's "Sex and the City" surged to the top of the international market and Fox's "What Happens in Vegas" hurdled past the $100 million mark.
In its second weekend, "Sex" edged out "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," pulling in $37.6 million from 5,708 screens in 40 markets compared with $36.5 million for the Paramount tentpole's third round on 7,519 screens in 53 territories. "Sex" reached an international cume of $91.5 million while "Indy" hit a lusty $325.1 million.
In Australia, where "Sex" debuted at No. 1 with $7.5 million, pirates served as indicators of what's hot at the boxoffice when police raided two retailers in Sydney that were selling pirated copies of the film two days before the opening. Nevertheless, many theaters in major Aussie cities reported sellout audiences on opening day, with many showings extended to movie houses that normally play art house fare.
In Hong Kong, women flocked to see the racy film, which was categorized as restricted to persons over 18. About 75% of the audience were women in their 30s and 40s who dressed up for the occasion and attended in groups, according to Joe Li, manager of the IFC Palace Theater in central Hong Kong's multinational business hub.
In South Korea, young women flocked to theaters largely devoid of men and ooh'd and ahh'd at each dress, high heel and closet full of clothes, according to reports.
"Sex" opened at No. 1 in 16 of its 25 new openings, including countries Greece, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, Estonia and Lithuania.
The Steven Spielberg-directed "Indy" has tallied $64.6 million to date in the U.K., $30.8 million in France, $21.7 million in Australia, $23 million in Korea, $15.5 million in Italy, $22.1 million in Germany, $16 million in Russia and $24.8 million in Spain. It premieres in Japan this weekend before the official opening June 21.
With "Sex" and "Indy" leading the way, overall summer business is beginning to boom. Paramount/DreamWorks' "Kung Fu Panda" joined the fray with a promising $20.5 million from 1,552 screens in nine markets; Disney's "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" reached a foreign gross of $101 million after a weekend take of $20.1 million from 4,473 screens in 26 territories; and "What Happens in Vegas" picked up $7.4 million from 3,482 screens in 60 markets on its way to over-$100 million glory.
"Panda," like Sony's new entry, the Adam Sandler starrer "You Don't Mess With the Zohan," are off to staggered rollouts, with "Panda" making the overseas rounds from now to the end of August. "Zohan," which opened to $2.1 million from 406 screens in Mexico and Iceland, also has overseas dates running to the end of August.
"Panda," meanwhile, blasted into Korea with $8 million in four days from 586 screens; Russia, $8.2 million from 574; Singapore, $1.4 million from 71 in three days; and Malaysia, $1 million from 58.
This coming weekend will witness a major competitive outburst as Fox unleashes M. Night Shyamalan's paranoid thriller "The Happening" on Friday in more than 60 territories, and Universal counters with Marvel Studios' "The Incredible Hulk," which launches day-and-date with domestic in 37 territories. Universal Pictures International has acquired "Hulk" rights from Marvel for international distribution, with the exception of Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Austria, France, Spain and Japan.
Gambling, like sex, has universal appeal. In the midst of the battle of the blockbusters, Sony's "21" managed to pick up another $4.6 million from 1,650 screens in 52 markets to lift its cume to $59.5 million.
"Caspian's" climb to the over-$100 million ranks came from No. 1 positions in 14 markets, with China delivering $3.3 million from 384 screens; Taiwan, $1.3 million from 34; and Hong Kong, $1 million from 68. The family offering finished second to "Sex" in Australia, opening to $4.1 million from 246 screens.
"Iron Man" forged another $4.1 million to lift its international cume to $248.9 million, and Sony's romantic comedy "Made of Honor" reached $35.1 million, following a $3 million weekend. Meanwhile, "Speed Racer" -- "Honor's" counterprogramming rival in early May -- hit $36 million after a $1.2 million weekend.
Pip Bulbeck in Sydney, Karen Chu in Hong Kong and Mark Russell in Seoul, South Korea, contributed to this report.

Barack Obama to guest on Q-Tip album
Barack Obama seems keen to add "hip-hop cameo" to the Related Experience section of his presidential candidate CV. A Tribe Called Quest's Q-Tip has enlisted the help of the American senator on his forthcoming album.
This July, Q-Tip will release The Renaissance, his first official album in nine years. It includes guest appearances by D'Angelo, Norah Jones and Q-Tip's former Tribesman Raphael Saadiq, but the most unexpected contributor is Obama, who speaks throughout one song.
"I've got Norah Jones on there, but Barack is the big one. You'll see what happens, I can't reveal too much," said Q-Tip.
The decision to release an album heavy on surprising guest appearances is an intriguing one. The rapper has been bouncing from label to label for some time, and his last two albums - Kamaal the Abstract, from 2002, and Open, from 2005 - were only available as bootlegs.
Nigel Godrich, the bleepy-bloopy producer behind Radiohead, Travis and Beck, will produce Q-Tip's next-but-one album, with recording to take place this year. English-born Godrich officially received his hip-hop cred when Q-Tip, in an interview with the LA Times this week, called him "really dope".
"He's a big fan of rap," Q-Tip said. "It'll be cool working with him." The process will also be documented in a film.
Hopefully, Q-Tip will also approach Obama for the Godrich-produced follow-up. We can't wait to hear that Illinois drawl cut up and looped into a Thom Yorke whine.
Then again, maybe we're in no rush.

Michael Johns Doesn't Inspire Idol Votes
Michael Johns Doesn't Inspire Idol Votes
Ryan Seacrest made sure enough to point out that, during last year's Beau ideal Gives Back week, no finalist was sent home, leaving the number of contestants intact for the following hebdomad. Simply Michael Johns could only "Aspiration On." "If there's a strain to go out on, that's not a bad one," the stoic Aussie rationalized nigh his Aerosmith-driven choice later auditory modality he, and not gent bottom-three dwellers Syesha Mercado and Carly Smithson, had been eliminated Thursday. Judgment day was put off for a night because of yesterday's second-annual star-studded Matinee idol Gives Gage special, which raised more than $60 one thousand thousand for charities benefiting impoverished children in the U.S. and Africa. (Less so far than last year's $76 million-plus extravaganza, merely the telephone lines were still afford during Thursday's show.) Merely only subsequently the scythe-wielding Seacrest had toyed with the theory that the 29-year-old heartthrob might be sticking around disdain having the lowest number of votes did he finally inform Johns that altogether had been american ginseng and done. "I'm in spades surprised," said the native of Perth, Commonwealth of Australia. And so was TiVo, which had predicted earlier, based on the telephone number of fast-forwards during Mercado's performance of Fantasia's "I Consider," that the big-voiced 21-year-old was on the chopping block. "For the past four weeks running, the person with the lowest viewership as recorded by TiVo subscribers has been voted to go base," the company said in a instruction Thursday. Just despite making another badly song option that set her up for yet another comparison to a far more accomplished isaac Merrit Singer, Mercado stillness has the probability to be fast-forwarded through, rewound, rewatched and paused to viewers' hearts content next week. Saami with Smithson, scorn what Marvin Neil Simon Cowell called an "angry" rendering of Queen's "The Read Mustiness Go On." Good as gold, however, were David Archuleta, wHO returned to form by accompanying himself on the piano as he sweetly panax quinquefolius Robbie Williams' "Angels," and Jason Fidel Castro, wHO was tops among E! Online readers, at least, after break out the uke for Hawaiian creative person Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." So somewhat. Goodness to middling, meanwhile, were Kristy Robert Edward Lee Cook, Rupert Brooke White and Saint David Cook. Kristy Lee side establish herself in unfamiliar territory—exterior the bottom three—Th after turning in what was plausibly her c. H. Best performance of the competition, a faithful interpretation of Martina McBride's "Anyway." Gabardine continues to turn in pleasant simply at last blunt performances, Tues night taking on the Carole King-penned "You've Got a Friend." Cook, on the other hand, didn't do himself justice with what was ultimately the least-enjoyable song of the night, "Innocent" by Our Lady Peace. Only despite a few hiccups, the charitable votes thrown their shipway were at least in holding with the subject of the week—Matinee idol Gives Back (so maybe Cook testament reciprocate with a proper song dynasty next time). Wednesday's 2 1/2-hour love-fest included taped and in-theater appearances by Brad William Pitt, Reese John Witherspoon, Robin redbreast Bernard Arthur Owen Williams, Billy Crystal, Miley Cyrus the Younger, California Number 1 Peeress Maria Shriver, NBA star Kobe Bryant, Teri Hatcher, Jacques Louis David and Queen Victoria Beckham, Mariah Carey, Sarah Silverman, Jemmy Kimmel and countless others. Other taped bits that didn't relieve oneself it into the main event, including messages from presidential candidates Edmund Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Lavatory MCain, supplemented the usual elimination-night fare this evening. Next week, the top heptad finalists will croon to the melodic phrase of Mariah Carey's No. 1 hits—of which at that place ar now more to choose from than there were on Battery-acid calendar week, thanks to her latest, "Touch My Body"—with the help oneself of client wise man Mimi herself. We can only hope Syesha testament in conclusion contract us feeling around "Emotions," Carly will sound as afters as "Beloved," Saint David Cook will regain his "Dreamlover" condition and it testament be "One Sweet Day" for completely of them. (We'd go on, merely "Fix It Happen" only hit No. 5 on the charts.)
