Overseas, two films that are regarded domestically as disappointments -- Angels & Demons and Terminator Salvation -- were doing stand-out business over the weekend. Spreading into 70 countries, the latest Terminator edition added $67.5 million to its gross to bring its foreign total to $97.2 million. Angels & Demons continued to perform strongly overseas, drawing $22.3 million, bringing its overseas total to $292.9 million and putting it into position to cross the $300-million mark internationally this week. It is the year's biggest hit abroad. Combined with its North American gross, it has now earned $409 million worldwide. IMDB
