As predicted, The Battle Of The Five Armies earned $2.77 million over its sixth weekend to bring its total to $249.5 million. This represents a 43% from last weekend; this hold is in line with The previous Hobbit films over the same weekend: Jouney - 45% decline and Smaug - 42%, but more than the LOTR movies (34-37%).
Currently it is impossible to say whether BOTFA will pass Smaug's $258 million domestic gross. It will probably finish between $255 million and $260 million.
International
The Hobbit opened to a massive $49.8 million in China at the weekend. This is the highest three day opening for Warner Bros. in China ever! It was far larger than Smaug's $33 million opening, and in just three days it has almost eclipsed Journey's four week run of $50.2 million. It will certainly top Smaug's $77 million total and should easily earn way over $100 million there.
This puts BOTFA's international total at $617 million. China's opening means that its very likely to cross the $700 million barrier by the end of its run. However, when the domestic total is added in, it probably won't make $1 billion worldwide, but it will certainly come very close and earn more than Smaug's $960 million.
