SUNDAY 1:30 AM, 2ND UPDATE: It's a big holiday weekend, up from last year. Full analysis later today as the holiday box office reveals blockbuster successes and epic fails. For now MGM/New Line/Warner Bros' The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey crossed $200M domestic in 15 nights Friday on its way to $225M. Overseas, Peter Jackson's Middle Earth epic playing in 62 territories has an international cume of roughly $400M going into Sunday. That's about $600M worldwide and still climbing. Surprisingly, Working Title/Universal's Les Misérables placed behind Quentin Tarantino's controversial Django Unchained from The Weinstein Company, quite a feat for an R-rated pic. 'We are having a really big day on Django!' a TWC exec gushes to me Saturday. 'From what I can tell, it looks like we will be very close to Hobbit.' Yowza! Meanwhile, Tom Hooper's musical slips to #3 but crossed $100 million worldwide Saturday in 9 days. Playing this weekend in 8 international territories ' Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Hungary and Spain ' its overseas gross is $36.6M going into Sunday. Combined with the expected U.S. total of $67M, the worldwide cume should be $115+M by then.
