>Overseas box office show big gains for Puss in Boots and Real Steel, now at $142 million and $186 million overseas to date, respectively.  Both films are solidly in the top five films worldwide, approaching $300 million worldwide each.

New Year’s Eve has $13 million overseas to date, but it only stands at $44 million worldwide when the estimated domestic total is factored in, well behind the $216 million worldwide total for Valentine’s Day.  The other opener this weekend, The Sitter, has no overseas receipts yet and should not be much of a factor internationally at any point.
