And as a fine trade magazine tells us:

... The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies (plants $49.5M footprint in China debut. ...

Big Hero 6 continued its rollout with a Baymax-sized start in Korea where it took $5.1M ($6.4M cume including previews). That’s the 2nd-biggest opening ever there for a Disney Animation/Pixar movie. ...

Night At The Museum: Secret Of The Tomb dug up another $8.8M from 7,053 screens in 44 markets. ...

The Penguins of Madagascar have shifted their way to another $9.06M from 4,366 screens in 31 markets. Performing particularly well in Latin America, Penguins saw six markets across the region keep it in the No. 1 position for the second consecutive weekend (Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Central America, Chile, and Ecuador). ...

I keep thinking if Penguins had opened #1 in the U.S., there wouldn't be 500 layoffs and a studio closing going on at DWA now.
