"Despite the disappointing outcome in North America, 'The Island' is ruling the overseas box office.

According to Hollywood Reporter, ""The Island"" finally had its day in the sun as weekend estimates placed the film No. 1 at the international boxoffice. ""The Island"" grossed an estimated $12.4 million from more than 4,800 screens for a cume-to-date of $84.8 million in 44 markets. A solid opening in France of $3.4 million from 640 prints earned the Michael Bay actioner the No. 1 spot -- 11% ahead of ""Batman Begins"" and on par with ""Constantine"" -- with admissions expected to be almost double the No. 2 debut of ""The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

The $125 budgeted worldwide total now stands at $117 million."
