Thor and Fast Five might be generating the biggest headlines, but Fox’s Rio is nesting with equal gusto at the international box office. It now ranks as the second-most-successful spring toon of all time after Ice Age: The Meltdown, which cumed $460.1 million overseas. Rio, with a total of $292 million, is headed toward a projected $350 million haul and has already outgrossed last spring’s How to Train Your Dragon, which earned $277.3 million offshore. Rio is doing almost triple the business overseas that it’s doing domestically. The biggest territory is Brazil — not a surprise, given the film’s setting — where Rio has taken in a stunning $38.4 million, followed by Mexico ($25.2 million) and Russia ($24 million). It’s no slouch in China or France, either, grossing $20.2 million and $19 million, respectively.
