Universal's smash spy spoof Johnny English has hoisted its international running total to $90.5m after 25 days on release, adding $8.2m from 3,000 theatres in 37 countries over the weekend, according to estimates.

The comedy placed second in the international market behind Fox's X2: X-Men United and managed several decent holds despite the global mutant onslaught.

Highlights included a second place finish in the UK behind opener X2, dropping 44% and adding $2m from 456 theatres for a mighty $24.8m total after 24 days.

The UK cumulative gross is already equal to the final box office for star Rowan Atkinson's 1997 hit, Bean. That film went on to gross some $240m worldwide, more than $190m of which came from theatres outside the US.

Johnny English also finished second behind X2 in Germany, adding $1.9m from 775 sites and slipping 31% for a 25-day gross of $17.2m.

Spain yielded $440,000 from 271 sites, which represented a 35% drop for a fourth place finish and $5.7m after 25 days.

In Australia all films took a big hit from X2, with Johnny dropping 66% for a $392,000 gross from 211 theatres. Its cumulative total after 25 days is $6.6m.

In its third week in Mexico, the comedy added $215,000 from 141 theatres, dropping 42% for a seventh place finish and a $1.7m running total. The cumulative gross to date is 150% bigger than the final gross for Bean.

Openings are still to come in 11 countries, including Argentina on May 8.
