Oscar bump boosts Black Swan,King’s Speech
Oscar nods have helped foreign revenues of Black Swan,The King's Speech,True Grit and The Fighter.
Despite Tangled’s continued lock on first place,Black Swan landed just a feather away from taking the top spot at foreign theaters over the weekend,missing No. 1 by a mere $131,664.
An obvious ‘Oscar Bump’ is strongly in play as international audiences in 29 territories boosted the mainstream art house wonder over the $150 million mark in global revenue with $16.7 million in weekend receipts.
Third place got an unexpected visitor as the Franco-Belgian comedy ‘Nothing to Declare’ in just four territories earned an impressive $13.95 million and is approaching $50 million worldwide. For a film that most people stateside have never heard of,that’s not a bad haul.
In six more territories than last week another Oscar darling,’The King’s Speech’,held steady in fourth place with $13.2 million and a global cumulative that is just a shilling shy of $200 million.
Other Oscar contenders continued to make their mark in the Top 20,with ‘True Grit’ in ninth place and ‘The Fighter’ in 19th place,having just crossed the $100 million mark in global dollars.
