Ok, ‘The Happening’ is a terrible movie, but taking the number one spot overseas is quite an accomplishment. M. Night Shyamalan’s movie made $32.1 million at 5,714 screens in 88 territories. That’s about $5,600 per screen. ‘The Incredible Hulk’ came in second, but managed to make almost $10,000 per screen at 38 markets.
The $32.1 million comes after Shyamalan’s awful box office result of ‘Lady in the Water’ in 2006. The fantasy only made $30 million overseas during its lifetime. It’s clear Fox’ aggressive marketing campaign paid off. The trailer with falling bodies gave people high hopes for his new thriller. It’s too bad this is one of those ‘the best is in the trailer’ movies and most will leave disappointed.
Europe was leading the ticket sales for ‘The Happening.’ France grossed a good $4.6 million, followed by Spain with $3.8 million. The U.K. brought in $3.4 million and several other countries ended the weekend with around $2 million.

The weekend in quotes will give you a general idea of the upcoming movies this weekend. As you might have expected, the reviews for ‘The Happening’ weren’t favorable. Currently, the M. Night Shyamalan movie has a Metacritic score of 4.6, based on just 4 reviews. The strange thing is, all the reviewers gave the movie a 5.0. Logic tells us the Metacritic score should be 5.0. But not according to Metacritic.com.
‘The Incredible Hulk’ is doing better, but not great. A Metacritic score of 6.8. Well below Iron Man’s 7.8, but beating Indy’s 6.5. Let’s take a look at the actual quotes.
