\"\"<\/a>Noah<\/a><\/i> may or may not be in the top ten in this, its fourth week of release.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/a> reports that Noah<\/i> is virtually tied with God\u2019s Not Dead<\/i> and newcomer Disneynature\u2019s Bears<\/i> for the #9 spot, with a weekend haul of $4.8 million each. Box Office Mojo<\/a> gives Noah<\/i> the edge with an estimated $5 million, while Leonard Klady<\/a> says God\u2019s Not Dead<\/i> is well behind the other two, with only $4.3 million.<\/p>\n

In any case, one<\/i> of those films will end up outside the top ten, in the #11 spot, when the final figures are released tomorrow. If Noah<\/i> turns out to be that film, then it would have one more thing in common with Son of God<\/i>, box-office-wise, as that film fell out of the North American top ten in its fourth week of release, too.<\/p>\n

Depending on which estimate one follows, Noah<\/i>\u2019s take this week represents a drop of between 33.8% and 38% since last week, which is smaller than the 50.8% percent drop that Son of God<\/i> had in its fourth week.<\/p>\n

Noah<\/i>\u2019s domestic total now stands at $93.3 million.<\/p>\n

The film also took in another $21.6 million<\/a> overseas this weekend to bring its foreign total up to $197.4 million. Its global total now stands at $290.7 million.<\/p>\n

Noah<\/i> is currently the 5th-best-performing Russell Crowe movie<\/a> ever overseas (and the 3rd-highest-grossing film overseas in which he was clearly the lead)\u2026<\/p>\n
