International
Maleficent should cross $600M worldwide by next weekend. The big question is if Japan can help carry it to $700M.

deadline
...While it crossed $200M domestically this weekend, Disney‘s Maleficent continued its international run adding $16M in 54 territories (93% of the international marketplace). In its 2nd weekend in China, the film earned $2.6M with a cume there of $38.7M. It’s performing well in a tough spot that saw it sandwiched in between the opening two weeks ago of Godzilla and this week’s TOAE bow. The overseas total is now $383.7M and the film has become the highest-grossing live-action Angelina Jolie title of all time at home, abroad and combined. The bump this weekend makes it the 4th highest-grossing global release of 2014 behind Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and X-Men: Days Of Future Past. Maleficent hits its last international market on July 5 when it ventures into Japan.

Angelina Jolie’s “Maleficent” is still hanging out in the top 5 and has now cracked the $200 million mark. It has already outgrossed “Godzilla” in its fifth week whereas that monster movie is basically on fumes domestically (and no longer in the top 10 and probably going to fall slightly shy of $200 million at home). Jolie's film will cross $600 million next weekend. A sequel awaits.
