Int'l Box Office: 'Frozen' Nearing $1B …

Disney's animated family film Frozen, still in the top ten domestically after 13 weeks of play, is nearing its billion-dollar worldwide mark as it just passed Shrek 2 this week to become the 3rd highest grossing animated release of all-time (based on original runs and not including re-issues) and highest grossing original animated release of all-time. It took in an estimated $24.1M this weekend. Internationally, it has grossed an estimated cume of $579.9M; domestically, $376M for a total take of $955.7M worldwide.

Meanwhile, RoboCop (MGM/Sony) is blasting its way across international markets, having the bragging rights of taking the No. 1 spot in 15 out of 24 markets that it opened in this weekend. It grossed another $35M for a total cume at the moment of roughly $70M and is expected to gross about $200M at the end of its run. It has yet to open in some big markets including China, Brazil and Japan. Add that to the domestic box office and it is already nearing $100M this weekend.

Endless Love opened in 25 international markets - including Australia (where it bowed at No. 4 and brought in $1M in 217 date nights) and another 23 markets where they celebrate Valentine's Day - to gross an estimated $3.9M in total. In the U.K. and Ireland the estimated gross was $1.4M at 358 dates. It will open in 38 markets over the next few months with Russia and the Ukraine coming next on March 6.

The Wolf of Wall Street in Universal's 9 territories grossed another $6.4M in 1,500 venues to raise the 9-territory total to $95.9M. The film will cross $100 in those 9 markets this coming week. The total gross internationally is $175M. Added to the domestic estimated gross in the states which has a 4-day holiday (President's Day weekend), it's now at about $285.9M. It's being led by the UK and Ireland which tallied up $32.4M and then Germany $26.4. Spain accounts for $14.5M.

Monuments Men heisted another $8.9M this weekend from 2,365 screens. The UK market was the hot spot for the film having grossed $2.9M and taking the No. 2 spot behind The Lego Movie. The film will open in 30 more markets next weekend via Fox International.

Another Fox film, the animated Mr. Peabody& Sherman - which opened last weekend - bowed in three new markets and nabbed $5M which brings its estimated cume to $12.3M. It opened to No 3. in France with $1.96M and had a very strong hold in the UK for another $2.5M to raise its total cume in that market to $9.7M.

More to come, but that is international in a snapshot for now.
