Holy shiz! What a way to start off the summer!

Battleship has reportedly made $100 million within the first 10 days of being open for international release, and furthermore, is expected to hit the $126.7 million mark by tomorrow!

Universal Pictures made the apparently-very wise decision to premiere the game-turned-action flick, which stars Alexander Skarsgard and Rihanna, overseas first, and it paid off, as it was the #1 opener in 16 territories this week - including Russia, Ukraine - and 37 in the last TWO - including Germany, Austria, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam!

And it's STILL going to open in Israel, South Africa, and Latin America before it hits the States and Canada on the 18th!

Yeah…we doubt this thing will have any trouble making back its budget - and then some!

Guess reviews aren't everything! Ha!

That's good, cause it's not gonna make anything once it hits the States.

For the movie to break even it has to surpass its budget (movie theaters and others make money of ticket price) No way this movie will make any money.

re: Okra - she has to show T and A to distract from her monotonous voice and bland expression.

Most people overseas are interested in anything American. Especially Asia. Asia loves White men like Alexander Skarsgard & Taylor Kitsch, aka John Carter.Asian women wanna date & marry them, Asian men, gay or straight, wanna hook up with them. Anywhoo, men like that are a dime a dozen in the states. Riahanna is always around here and theres always a Liam Nielsen movie America is harder to please since we're spoiled with everything and we've seen it all in a sense. it's up to the fans of these stars and the all the battleship stamp club nerds in America to put their ass in theaters to make it a US hit. of all else fails at least they got that overseas ching ching!

People who claim this movie won’t make any money are morons/have no understanding of how the box office works. This movie is performing very well. It opened #1 in nearly all its markets.

Also, to those who think this movie won’t make money in the US, all I have to say is “bytch you must be stupid”. This movie has big explosions, guns, patriotism, hot chicks, and good-looking “heroic” men. Yeah, it’s going to be raking it in by the boat load.

Quite an achievement for a movie whose promotional posters seem like copies of two Asian movies :

This movie looks shitty to me. Like Transformers, more explosives than storyline.

Sally…then why did they release it overseas first? Because the studio is predicting that it will bomb in States (Anything under $160m domestic would be a bomb). Boxoffice predicts the movie will need to make $500m world gross to break even. It never will.
