Who would have thought the two biggest Chinese stars in Hollywood would do well in China, right? Well, they’re off to a good start, but nothing amazing. The Jackie Chan and Jet Li fantasy made $2.3 million in its first day at the Chinese box office.

Nothing amazing for Hollywood standards I must say, since it was the biggest opening in China this year. Still, it only topped the $15 million Yuan opening by the Chinese movie ‘Warlords’ by $1 million Yuan. “It is reasonable to assume box office income will top 100 million in [its] first week,” said the vice president of the Shanghai United Cinema Line.

Their fellow Asians liked ‘The Forbidden Kingdom’ too, taking the number one spot in Korea with $2.6 million in its first weekend. Especially good if you consider the Korean box office isn’t doing that well these days.

In another slow weekend at the box office, ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ took the top spot overseas, making an estimated $7 million at 1000 screens — yes, that’s $7000 per screen. Since the male nudity picture is launching in different territories during the whole summer, it managed to make this in only 9 countries. Leading the box office success was the UK, with $4.1 million during the weekend, followed by the second week in Australia with $1.6 million.

‘21′ is still doing well with $6.2 million and a $30.7 million total. ‘Horton Hears a Who!’ also made another $6.2 million, with a total of $127.2 million overseas. ‘Street Kings’ did $6.1 million, while ‘Fool’s Gold’ added $5.1 million to their total. And lastly, ‘The Spiderwick Chronicles’ is still pulling in some good numbers with $4.4 million for the weekend and a $81 million total overseas.

‘21′ earned a little under $10 million last weekend at the overseas box office. Taking the number one spot (as expected) from ‘Horton Hears a Who!,’ which made $9.5 million, it’s clear these are slow days outside the US too. Third came in ‘Street Kings’ with Keanu Reeves, doing $8.8 million.

The number two at the US box office, ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall,’ was only released in Australia and had a good opening with $1.7 million. Just like America, the rest of the world is getting ready for this summer’s movie overload.
