Spain flocks to 'Crash'

Pic narrowly loses out on the top slot to 'Pink Panther'

"Crash" cashed in on its Best Picture Oscar in Spain, where the ensemble drama jumped from 15th to second place over the weekend, but showed only modest traction in re-releases into other markets.

"Crash" grossed $1 million at 157 playdates in Spain, narrowly losing out on the top slot to "The Pink Panther." The weekend represented a 256% hike over the previous frame and pushed nine-week Spanish cume to $6.2 million.

The re-release in Italy generated moderate results with $263,959 at 122 sites but less impressive in the U.K., where "Crash" is available on DVD, with $71,973 at 65 engagements. The German re-release was modest with $51,088 at 56 as was Holland with $43,849 at 22.

"Crash" has totaled over $30 million overseas with the U.K. its top market with $10.3 million.
