Prince Of Persia conquered the world, or at least its box office—except for the United States, where Shrek Forever Afterwon its second weekend in a row.
The new Walt Disney Co. adventure fantasy Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time was the top movie worldwide (coming in third in North America) by winning in 41 foreign markets.
Prince Of Persia earned $30.2 million in the United States and Canada. Disney forecast the film would earn about $37 million after Monday, the Memorial Day holiday in the States, in line with industry forecasts. The international total was $59.0 million from 47 countries.
The big disappointment of the weekend turned out to be Sex And The City 2, which fell far short of the three-day, $57 million launch for the first film in the series two years ago.
Comparisons between the Shrek and Sex sequels were a little dicey.
