Universal Pictures has passed $2 billion at the international box office for the first time in history, the studio announced Wednesday.
International hits “Fast & Furious 6” ($549.3 million), “Despicable Me 2” ($485.4 million) and “Les Misérables” ($293 million) led the charge. The studio crossed the milestone after Tuesday box-office totals were tallied.

Universal hit $1 billion international earlier this year in record time, and kept its momentum long enough to shatter its previous record of $1.794 billion.
Other titles that fared well overseas include “Mama” ($76.1 million) and “Oblivion” ($197.2 million), which did so-so business at home but opened No. 1 internationally.
