Speed Racer
hit the overseas market with all gaskets blowing. It earned just $12.8 million in
30 countries, to place third at the international box office, behind Iron Man,
which remained the top film with a gross of $39 million in its second week. (It
has now grossed $165 million overseas. With its domestic gross, its worldwide total
has reached $342.1 million after two weekends.) Twentieth Century Fox's What Happens
in Vegas actually earned more overseas than it did in the U.S., drawing an estimated
$23 million in 36 countries.
