"Iron Man" stayed golden at the foreign box office with $25.6 million at over 5,000 playdates in its third frame while "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" launched powerfully with $21.7 million at 2,000 in a dozen markets.

"Iron Man," which has now cumed $206 million internationally, posted impressive holdover biz with a decline of only 34% from its second frame. Top takes came from the U.K. with $3.7 million to lift the Brit cume past $25 million along with $2.2 million in Australia and $2 million in South Korea.

"Narnia," which won't move into most markets until June, opened 33% above the launch in comparable markets for predecessor "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." It posted its biggest grosses in Mexico with $7.5 million, Russia with $5.6 million and South Korea with $3.5 million.

Fox's second frame of "What Happens Vegas" stayed solid as a counter-programming choice with $20 million at 4,200, declining only 20%. The romantic comedy's foreign cume has hit $55 million, led by $7 million in the U.K. and $6.7 million in Spain.
