LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - "Good Day to Die Hard" is off and running overseas. The Bruce Willis action film took in more than $10 million in its debut in seven Asian markets for Fox.
"Django Unchained" was the top international moneymaker for the fourth consecutive week, adding $18.7 million from 66 markets. Quentin Tarantino's slave saga has now brought in $187 million overseas.
"Good Day to Die Hard" opens Thursday in North America. The leading market was Korea, where it made $4.2 million. It broke a Fox record in Indonesia with $1.4 million and was the biggest of the franchise openings in Hong Kong with $1.2 million.

Fox also opened "Lincoln" in seven new markets, contributing to the DreamWorks' historical drama's roughly $10 million weekend overseas, in which it played in 51 territories. Australia was the top new market with $1.8 million for "Lincoln," which has brought in $47.6 million from foreign markets overall.
