Box Office Report: 'Bad Teacher' Hits $200 Mil Worldwide
Sony’s Cameron Diaz starrer Bad Teacher has become the third R-rated comedy this summer to cross the $200 million mark worldwide, underscoring how well the genre is now working internationally.
The raunchy pic hit the milestone over the weekend, earning $2.2 million at the foreign box office for a new international cume of $102.6 million.
Bad Teacher -- also starring Jason Segel and Justin Timberlake -- has grossed $98.1 million domestically for a world total of $200.7 million (the comedy is done with its theatrical run in North America.)
The movie’s better-than-expected performance means strong profit margins for Sony, which made the Jake Kasden-directed pic for under $20 million. The studio purchased Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky’s spec script in 2008; Jimmy Miller and David Householter produced.
