Bilbo, Thorin, Legolas, some really nasty Orcs, and the rest of the Middle-earth crew charged ahead with a $117.6M international rollout this weekend. The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies stormed into 37 markets and outperformed the previous two installments in Peter Jackson’s trilogy on a local currency and admissions basis. Records were set, notably for a December IMAX opening with $6.4M. Continuing a trend, Germany was the biggest play with $19.5M — that market ended up being tops for The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug last year with $88.7M.
