Quentin Tarantino’s WWII tale "Inglourious Basterds" conquered the worldwide box office, as the film opened to an impressive $37.6 million domestically and $27.1 million more overseas.
Tarantino has made all his films with Bob and Harvey Weinstein, first at Miramax and then at TWC. Their previous venture was "Grindhouse," made up of two films: Tarantino’s "Death Proof" and Robert Rodriguez’s "Planet Terror." The project was a financial disappointment, grossing $25 million domestically.
Elsewhere in the domestic box office, Sony’s "District 9" held up well in its second weekend, with $18.9 million from 3,050 runs for a cumulative of $73.5 million.
