Fifty Shades Is on Track to Earn 500 Million
Fifty Shades of Grey has earned 338.4 million from global box offices, becoming Universal Studios' highest-grossing R-rated film internationally, and is fast approaching a combined domestic and international haul of 500 million. The film has also been No. 1 for the third consecutive week in a row and is the best-selling film of the year so far. Its 338.4 million overseas earnings now outrank those of Universal's previous best-performing R-rated international hit, Ted, which earned 332.4 million. Domestic earnings of 147.8 million mean the film has earned 486 million so far. The largest foreign market for the film has been the U.K. where it has earned 46.9 million. Deadline
