MUMBAI: Not only has Warner Bros.‘ Clash of the Titans won box-office plaudits in the US, it has showed its supremacy in overseas territories too wherever it released. The film grossed an estimated $44.2 million in its opening launch on 4,240 screens in 15 markets.
The film has become only the third title of 2010 to take the No. 1 spot overseas.

According to Warner Bros, Titans beat the comparable opening grosses in the same 15 territories recorded by 300, the 2006 hit ($38 million) and 2004‘s Troy ($32 million).
