Its international cume is now $420.3M with a worldwide total of $645.2M.

China remains the top territory for Cap with a cume there of $107.6M. That’s more than three times the next best score which comes from the UK ($30.2M).
Disney’s other major international player, Frozen, packed in a further $7.2M in its 23rd weekend of release overseas. Japan remains the top ex-U.S. market for the pic ($118.2M) where Disney says it maintained the No. 1 spot for the weekend, facing off with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and local sci-fi comedy Thermae Romae II. Last weekend, Frozen became the highest-grossing animated film of all time internationally. Its worldwide cume is $1,143.7M with $743.6M from overseas.
