ART-HOUSE AND OVERSEAS MARKETS SOLID, TOO

In limited release, Paramount’s critically praised Nebraska, starring Bruce Dern, opened strongly in two theaters in New York and two in L.A., where it earned $140,401, or $35,000 per theater. Overseas, the box office was somewhat more robust than it was domestically as Thor: The Dark World continued to hammer the competition with $52.5 million in 70 markets to bring its international take to $332.8 million and its worldwide total to $477.9 million. At the same time, Gravity, playing in 63 markets, passed the $500 million mark worldwide with a total of $514.9 million.
