\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s official: Noah<\/a><\/i> is now the top-grossing Bible movie ever overseas, in unadjusted dollars.<\/p>\n

As of this weekend<\/a>, the film has grossed $243 million overseas, which is more than the $241.1 million that The Passion of the Christ<\/a><\/i> grossed overseas ten years ago.<\/p>\n

The film also grossed an estimated $210,000<\/a> in North America this weekend, raising its domestic total to $100.3 million. This is well, well behind the $370.8 million that The Passion<\/i> grossed in North America, and slightly behind the $101.4 million that The Prince of Egypt<\/a><\/i> grossed in North America in 1998 and 1999.<\/p>\n

Noah<\/i> is currently playing in over 40 territories and has earned $343.3 million worldwide so far. It opens in Japan next month.<\/p>\n

In other news\u2026<\/p>\n

Heaven Is for Real<\/a><\/i> landed in the #6 spot with $4.4 million in its fifth week, thereby raising its domestic total to $82.2 million. The film has earned another $2.2 million overseas for a worldwide total of $84.4 million.<\/p>\n

Moms\u2019 Night Out<\/a><\/i> slipped 55.9% from its opening last week to earn $1.9 million, thereby landing in the #10 spot and bringing its domestic total to $7.3 million. To my knowledge, the film has not been released overseas at all.<\/p>\n

God\u2019s Not Dead<\/a><\/i> earned $764,000 in its ninth week, thereby landing in the #14 spot and bringing its domestic total to just under $59 million. The film has earned another $1.2 million overseas for a worldwide total of $60.2 million.<\/p>\n

And finally, as of Thursday, Son of God<\/a><\/i> was still playing in 68 theatres and had inched up to $59.7 million in North America. The film has earned another $8.1 million overseas for a worldwide total of $67.8 million.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
