As the major studios find dates for late-summer leftovers, "The Bourne Ultimatum" dominated the overseas market for a third weekend in a row and the fifth time in the past six weeks.
The Matt Damon spy thriller grossed $13.8 million from 40 territories last weekend, lifting its international total to $145.2 million, according to final data issued Monday.
It enjoyed No. 1 openings in India, Portugal and Serbia, and extended its reign in such markets as Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
"Bourne" is scheduled to open in 11 more overseas markets, including Italy on November 1 and China on November 15.
As it expands its global run, "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" took in $5.2 million from 26 countries for an early total of $26.9 million.
"The Simpsons Movie" was third with $5 million from 11 markets for an international total of $332 million. Homer and family held at No. 1 position in Italy, scoring $4.6 million for a two-week gross of $17.4 million.
Recent overseas entry "Superbad" tallied $5 million from seven markets, and "No Reservations" delivered $4.6 million from 50 markets to raise its international haul to $30.7 million.
Domestic champ "Resident Evil: Extinction" also opened at No. 1 in Mexico ($2.1 million) and Taiwan ($1.1 million). Details of first-weekend sales in Russia, Ukraine and Malaysia were not available.
