Finishing second in the foreign marketplace was the DreamWorks Animation comedy "Kung Fu Panda." Playing on 6,236 screens in 55 markets, the martial arts saga took in $215.9 million. The weekend also saw "Kung Fu Panda" go past $200 million domestic. People just like butt-kicking pandas.
Although it won't open in the United States until next weekend, the musical "Mamma Mia!" opened in a dozen foreign markets on 1,368 screens and, according to media reports, took in $24 million. It topped the box office in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Australia and the U.K. People, it seems, just like ABBA.
