The religious thriller, director Ron Howard’s big screen adaptation
of Dan Brown’s book of the same name, scooped $60.4 million (£40.26
million) outside of the U.S. to claim the number one position for its
second consecutive week.
Stiller’s sequel has proven to be the most popular choice Stateside,
taking $53.5 million (£35.7 million) over the Memorial Day weekend
(22-24May09), but its pull wasn’t as strong overseas and it debuted in
second place with $50.1 million (£33.4 million) at the global box
office.
Star Trek came in a distant third place with $11.5 million (£7.6
million), while X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Hannah Montana rounded out
the top five with $7 million (£4.67 million) and $3.1 million (£2
million) respectively.
