Warner Passes $1B in Overseas Ticket Sales

“Valentine’s Day,” “Sherlock Holmes” and “Clash of the Titans” help studio hit international benchmark for 10th straight year

Warner Bros. Pictures announced Monday that it has already surpassed the $1 billion revenue mark in international theatrical gross less than five full months into the year.

It’s the 10th consecutive year the studio has met that benchmark, with “Valentine’s Day” ($102.5 million in overseas gross), “Sherlock Holmes” ($307.7 million) and “Clash of the Titans” ($303 million) leading the way.

Warner set an all-time revenue record in 2009, with $3.7 billion in global ticket sales. Foreign sales accounted for $1.78 billion of that total, also a record.
