“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe” looked to wind up the weekend with $8 million from 32 territories, including China, where the film debuted to $2.3 million — equalling the China bow of 2001’s “Pearl Harbour,” the market’s second biggest box office champ.

In Japan, “Narnia” retained the No. 1 spot with a $5.1 estimate, down just 24% from its opening smash weekend. Its Japan market total is a mighty $18.7 million. “Narnia’s” global total, more than $690 million ($401.2 million international), now surpasses that of 1994’s “Forrest Gump” in the all-time box office sweepstakes.
