Quentin Tarantino’s latest release, Inglourious Basterds, rose quickly to the top of the US box office on its opening weekend, taking in $37.6 million.
Elsewhere it toted up $27.5 million in 22 countries to accrue a worldwide total of $65.1 million.
The flick, which has put Tarantino back in place as a major director, is about a bunch of Jewish commandos in World War 11 with a plot to take out Nazis.
Starring Brad Pitt, it also promises to do wonders for Harvey and Bob Weinstein of Weinstein Co – and overseas for Universal.
Basterds was Tarantino’s best-ever opening. In comparison, Kill Bill – Vol 2 pulled in $25.1 million in 2004.
The Sony sci-fi flick District 9 came in second over the weekend, with domestic takings of $18.9 million, followed by the robust G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra at $12.5 million. The Time Traveller’s Wife brought in $10 million.
