The Brad Pitt drama earned an estimated $31 million from 53 markets, taking its foreign tally to $118.6 million. In North America, it has earned about $122 million, but has largely run out of steam a week before the Oscars are handed out. The film enjoyed first-place debuts in Italy ($4.6 million), South Korea ($2 million) and Taiwan ($1 million). A No. 1 Paris finish portends a French tally of $4.6 million in its second weekend, and in Spain it held on to the No. 1 spot with $3.3 million, also in its second weekend. A first-place finish in Japan ($3.1 million) and a muscular holdover in the U.K. ($2.6 million) helped the weekend tally. With its Oscar nomination in the animated film category, Disney's "Bolt' has been showing real spunk internationally, finishing second and pushing its overseas total to $131.8 million thanks to a $16.5 million weekend from 38 territories. A strong U.K. bow ($7.8 million) helped as did solid bows in Holland and Belgium. Other key Oscar bidders are doing nowhere near as well. "Milk" has earned $7.5 million to date; "Frost/Nixon" $6.4 million; "Doubt" $10.3 million; and "Revolutionary Road" $43 million. Finishing No. 3 overall was "Valkyrie," which expanded its run to include 18 markets in Latin America, southeast Asia and parts of eastern Europe. The weekend tally was $11.9 million from 55 markets, for an international total of $72 million. The Tom Cruise drama opened at No. 1 in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Mexico. "He's Just Not That Into You," at No. 4, broadened its overseas run to 16 markets for a weekend estimate of $11.4 million. The comedy opened at No. 1 in Australia with $3.8 million. Its foreign total stands at $16.5 million. New North American champ "Friday the 13th" slashed its way to $10.4 million from 30 markets. Top tallies included Britain with $2 million and Russia with $1.7 million. Two other North American debutants also appeared on the international stage: "Confessions of a Shopaholic" earned $2.8 million from five overseas markets. "The International" pulled in $2.7 million from three markets including Germany, where the Clive Owen espionage thriller played the just-ended Berlin International Film Festival.
