The following comes from a Variety e-mailing about the continuing success of Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit throughout the world:

Clay stayed king at the foreign box office as UIP’s Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit easily won its third straight weekend with $15.75 million at 3,782 playdates in 32 markets.

Underlining the attraction of family fare worldwide, Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride finished a respectable second with $9.4 million at more than 1,930 engagements in 19 countries.

The victory for Gromit — marked by strong holdover numbers — lifted the toon to a $63.7 million offshore cume and a worldwide total of nearly $108 million.

Gromit remained dominant on its U.K. home turf, with a 31% sophomore-session decline to $8 million at 502 locations for an impressive Blighty cume of $29 million. It easily topped a solid opening of UIP’s family comedy Nanny McPhee with $4.5 million at 423 and a moderate launch for Corpse Bride with $2 million at 403.

The second French frame for Gromit declined 26% to $2.15 million at 539 for a $5.4 million cume; the German soph sesh slid 29% to $1.48 million for a $4.2 million total.

Gromit also launched in first in Belgium with $427,000 at 86 screens in its first five days, 91% ahead of Aardman Animations’ Chicken Run.
