October 24, 2005 — According to Hy Hollinger from the Hollywood Reporter: "A usually slow period at the overseas boxoffice perked up over the weekend as school holidays kicked off in several European markets, bringing about key new family film openings and expanded dates for a number of crowd-pleasers. The trend will likely carry over to this coming weekend when Sony's "The Legend of Zorro" takes off with a day-and-date blast with North America at more than 5,700 screens in 50 international markets. The weekend charge was led again by the Aardman Animations-DreamWorks Animation's "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit," followed by "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride," Jodie Foster starrer "Flightplan," the U.K. bow of Working Title-Universal's family comedy "Nanny McPhee," and the long-running "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." |
