Move aside Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter there's a new batch in town. Ocean's Eleven, American Pie 2, and Spy Game are all widening their release to plenty more countries topping Rings & Potter in some of them.

Still the winner this weekend was The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. The blockbuster managed to conjure up $33.6 million from 41 countries propelling its foreign total to $286.7 million. It still ruled the U.K., Germany, Spain, and South Korea with generally mild drops. Among its debuts were its magical $453,000 in Hungary and out-of-this world preem in the Czech Republic with $356,000. With Italy, Japan and others still ahead expect the film to reach that $578 million I originally predicted.

Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone on the other hand will soar past my prediction of $578 million forking in another $17.3 million from 50 markets, hoisting its cume to $539.2 million. Harry has already climbed to the thirteenth spot on the all time list in Australia with around $19.3 million unseating Babe.

Ocean's Eleven proved it was a major international contender scamming in $12.8 million from 13 countries over the weekend totaling $28.1 million thus far. The remake posted Warner's second-biggest debut ever (behind Potter) in Germany, Austria, Australia, New Zealand, The Netherlands, and Portugal. Germany's $4.9 million and Austria's $701,000 blasted well above Steven Soderbergh's Erin Brockovich by 78% and 49% respectively. In Australia, Ocean's Eleven blasted off with the industry's 11th highest bow ever with $2.8 million. The film grabbed $717,000 in the Netherlands and $345,000 in Portugal. In Switzerland the crime-caper grabbed Warner Brothers' third-best opening ever with $769,000. The star-studded affair also landed in Thailand with $714,000 and Israel with $613,000.

Making its final major market stop, American Pie 2 cooked up $1.4 million in Mexico, pushing its foreign total to $131.4 million.

Spy Game ensured strong starts and a possible century mark finish over the weekend especially in France, where it commanded pole position (overthrowing Rings) with $2.8 million, Mexico with $990,000, and Belgium with $331,000.

Next weekend Black Hawk Down gives The Fellowship a rung for its money in the United Kingdom opening along Iris and Long Time Dead. In Germany Don't Say a Word tries to whisper its way to the top alongside Thir13en Ghosts and Innocence. Australia gets In the Bedroom, Jeepers Creepers, Serendipity, and Sous le Sable (Under the Sand). And France gets a huge amount of openers including Thir13en Ghosts, Bandits, Hearts in Atlantis, and Behind Enemy Lines.

Expect Black Hawk Down to garnish about $5 million in the U.K. leading Rings, which should fall to about $4.8 million. In Germany Ocean's Eleven should continue to lead at $3.8 million while in Australia Eleven should continue at about $1.5 million. In France the openers should cancel each other out leading Rings to recapture the lead with $2.8 million.

These are my predicted foreign totals for the selected films:

Spy Game: $112 million

Ocean's Eleven: $205 million

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: $578 million

Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone: $577 million (I'm going out on a limb!)

Atlantis: The Lost Empire: $78 million

The Princess Diaries: $71 million

Shrek: $259 million

American Pie 2: $161 million

The Others: $126 million
