Family entertainment Charlotte's Web saw a 113% boost after taking $1m for its opening weekend in Germany while Warner Bros' African-set thriller Blood Diamond took more than $3m from seven territories internationally. New entry Miss Potter broke into the top 20 with its UK opening, earning $2.1m over the three-day period.
