Well, the numbers are essentially in. Very little will change now.
Passion is going to finish at about $370 million and will not beat TRotK (this has been evident for many weeks).
Internationally, it's a slaughter. TRotK is in at more than $741 million overseas and Passion may barely hit $240 million ($237,743,103 as of June 6 with almost nothing left).
While many, myself included, vastly underestimated what Passion would do domestically, its phenomenal domestic success caused many to vastly overestimate what it would do overseas. While almost all films would love to do what Passion did overseas, its amazing levels of success seems to have been confined to the U.S. (and maybe Canada; not sure how the "domestic" box office split in those two countries) and Latin America.

I predicted early on that it would drop like a rock after this weekend and I still feel it will. It won't top 400 mil and it may not catch ROTK. It was still quite a run though and probably the most interesting movie story of this and most other years.

Any comment on Passion's international box office? About 2/3 of TRotK's worldwide box office was overseas and I think that's quite typical for most blockbusters. Passion's $240 million overseas box office would be more typical for a film that grossed $120 million domestically rather than a spectacular $370 million.
Thoughts?

Not suprisingly, Little Buddah flopped here.

The big question is Europe where almost everyone is nominally, at least, some kind of Christian. Are they that secularized that they are overwhelmingly really not very religious (I know they don't go to church much but that does not necessarily mean they are not religious) and didn't care about this movie?
