Universal/Working Title’s Ticket to Paradise has winged past the $100 million mark globally. With Tuesday’s grosses included, the Julia Roberts-George Clooney rom-com’s split is $20.6M domestic and $81.9M from the international box office for a worldwide total of $102.5M so far.

Having released early overseas, Ticket to Paradise, directed by Ol Parker, just went out in North America this past weekend. With a $16.3M launch, it exceeded projections and drew an A- CinemaScore; it’s currently 89% positive with audiences.

The tropical romp about a divorced couple who team up and travel to Bali to stop their daughter from making the same mistake they once made, has been humming along nicely since its offshore rollout began in early September, helping bring back the underserved “older” female demo which has been amongst the most reticent to return to cinemas. Domestically, the launch-weekend audience was 64% ages 35 and up.

The five top offshore markets are Australia ($9.9M), UK/Ireland ($9.7M), Germany ($9.6M), Spain ($3.8M) and Saudi Arabia ($3.4M). Japan is still to release on November 3.

This session, and at today’s exchange rates, Ticket to Paradise surpassed the total overseas haul of About Time and Yesterday, while the EMEA region overtook the lifetime of Last Christmas. Also, 29 markets have now overtaken the run of Bridget Jones’s Baby including Mexico in the most recent frame.

Earlier this month, this latest collaboration for Roberts and Clooney led the duo to a new milestone. Five films in which the mega-stars have worked together have grossed a combined $1 billion at the worldwide box office.

I had the chance to watch 'Ticket To Paradise' last night.
Really loved it, the chemistry between Julia and George was perfect.

I contributed to this million as well. LOL. I really liked it, although it was hard for me to believe that they were really exes, as George and Julia looked like they were having too much fun!!!

Embarrassed to say I haven't seen it yet, but loving the positive reviews and impressive box office numbers. Hoping to catch it soon.

Hey girlfriend- where the hell have you been?  Good to her from you

Working my ass off (not really, it's still quite large). Lots of assignment work plus a couple of original projects I'm scrambling to get going. Hoping to squirrel away enough by April to get me through the year without taking on any new work, so I can concentrate full time on my own stuff.

Had a pilot make it to the very last level of decision-making before the studio passed on it. Wasn't my story; I was the hired gun writer. But it still hurt to get that far only to get the pass. The credit would have done wonders for me. Bright side is I'm being rejected by outfits I couldn't get a look from before.

How has everyone else been?

Finally saw it. Really liked it. An old-fashioned romcom in the structural sense, but with enough of a fresh take to make it really enjoyable. And they obviously had fun making it. Very entertaining. Well done, George.

Way2Old - I'm glad you're moving up the ranks and your hard work is finally starting to be recognized. The more you work, the more contacts you make and sooner or later someone will offer you the break you deserve. I hope it happens soon!
