U2 tour tops $554 million, still going
LOS ANGELES — U2 isn't a band that does things on the cheap. When frontman Bono and guitarist The Edge went to Broadway, they did so via "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," which has already earned itself the distinction of being the most expensive show in Broadway history. The band's "360

So perhaps the news Monday released via concert promoter Live Nation that trumpets the "360 Tour" as the highest-grossing rock 'n' roll endeavor ever should come with an asterisk. After all, no doubt it's one of the most expensive traveling rock shows ever, if not the most. Yet with 26 dates to go, the "360 Tour" has grossed more than $554 million since it launched in 2009. That beats a previous record

In the statement, U2 manager Paul McGuinness was quoted as saying, "That dollar figure for the gross looks enormous. Of course I can't tell you that the net is, but I can tell you that the band spend enormous sums on production for their audience."

U2 only operates the scale of grand these days, but big, of course, is not always directly related to artistry. "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," for instance, is the Broadway show the critics love to hate, and the "360 Tour" came at something of an odd time for U2. The trek was staged in support of the band's 2009 album, "No Line on the Horizon," which, while successful, didn't spawn a hit on on par with a "Beautiful Day" or an "Evolution."

LOS ANGELES — The 3-D animated movie "Rio" doesn't fly into U.S. theaters for another week, but it's already a hit overseas.
'Rio' is already a big hit across the ocean
The family film about birds who embark on a Brazilian adventure opened in 72 foreign markets this weekend and collected a strong $55 million, according to an estimate from distributor 20th Century Fox. The movie opened in the No.1 slot in 32 foreign markets, including Mexico, Germany, and China. And the film did the majority of its business in 3-D theaters, which comprised 71 percent of overall ticket sales.
"Rio" was originally slated to premiere in the U.S. this weekend. When the domestic release date was changed many of the international dates were left intact because a number of schools are out on holiday abroad.
Not surprisingly, the movie had one of its best debuts in Brazil, where it grossed $8.3 million — the biggest-ever opening for an animated film in the country. Fox unveiled a strong promotional push in Rio de Janeiro, sending a number of press outlets to its March 22 premiere there.
In Russia, "Rio" was previewed in theaters early, so it had a slightly higher gross of $10.4 million. That was the best opening of any film to date this year in that country.
The film opens in 19 additional foreign markets next weekend.
