Hollywood ? Though it fell to No. 8 on the domestic front, “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” remained firmly entrenched atop the overseas box office for the weekend ending Jan. 27, drawing an estimated $23 million from 6,538 venues across 49 countries. The epic adventure’s foreign haul has climbed to $364.3 million, the ninth highest gross of all time.

“Vanilla Sky’s” $4.2 million bow in the United Kingdom, though, was enough to unseat the reigning “Rings,” which earned $3.4 million in its sixth frame for $71.2 million there thus far.

“Ocean’s Eleven” lifted an estimated $10.4 million from 2,139 sites in 17 nations, coasting to $62.3 million so far. George Clooney and company held onto to the top spots in Germany ($15.3 million in the till), Australia ($8.2 million) and Spain ($5.5 million).

“Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” is still attracting crowds, pulling in around $9.7 million from 5,161 theaters and propelling its total to $578.6 million, the second-highest gross of all time.

Though “Harry Potter” and “The Lord of the Rings” have dominated the world over the past few months, there was one place where they were trumped: Mexico. South of the border, “Monsters, Inc.” has roared past the fantasy titans by reaching $18 million through its seventh week, making it the second highest-grossing picture there behind “Titanic.”
