It looks like Jumper is continuing to kick ass in international markets where it has just held the number one position for the third week in a row. We get news of its bounty from the legendary caves of Yahoo:
The sci-fi fantasy “Jumper” led the foreign box office for a third consecutive weekend, according to studio estimates issued Sunday. The movie, starring Hayden Christensen as a young man who can “teleport” around the world, pulled in $12.8 million from 44 markets; its total stands at $81.9 million.
I must admit, I am a little surprised. I found this film to be a let down, mainly because so much potential was there and it failed to deliver. To continue on the top spot for 3 weeks running internationally is a huge success for the film and I am wondering why its legs are so strong abroud. Is it a lack of quality competition or just a universal appeal for sci-fi that is causing its success?
International friends – why do you suppose Jumper is still doing so well round the globe?
