Theatrical circuit, straight stanza, cume, tentpole

Marvel Studios' "Iron Man 2" ruled the foreign theatrical circuit over the weekend for the second straight stanza, taking the No. 1 spot with $57.2 million from 10,774 locations in 61 markets, and hoisting its accumulated overseas boxoffice total to $194 million.
That puts the sequel to 2008's "Iron Man" $71 million shy of the original's total foreign gross after only 12 days of international play (it began its offshore run on April 28). Of the cume so far, $190.3 million was derived from territories handled by Paramount International, which is handling "Iron Man 2" costarring Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow in most offshore markets.
"Iron Man 2" got a huge weekend boost from its China opening where the Jon Favreau-directed sequel drew $7.3 million from about 3,000 situations.
Paramount reports the China opening tally is a full 209% better than "Iron Man's" comparable opening market figure. In Germany and Austria, "Iron Man 2" drew a combined opening tally of $3.88 million, sufficient for a No. 1 finish in each market.
"Iron Man 2" also finished No. 1 in Korea ($4.7 million from 834 locations for a market cume of $22 million), Australia, Turkey, Russia, Brazil, Italy and Mexico.
In France, the sequel snared $4 million from 655 locations, down 55% from the opener, but far more than enough to rank No. 1 in the market. In the U.K., "Iron Man 2" took the top spot with $4.9 million drawn from 426 spots (down 53% from the opener) for a market cume of $23 million.
Paramount opened "Iron Man 2" a week before its domestic bow over the weekend to maximize foreign playtime before the June 11-July 11 World Cup soccer tournament eats into theatrical audiences, especially those for action titles. As it also handled the original, Paramount is distributing the sequel. But "Iron Man 2" is the first Marvel theatrical release since Disney acquired the company last year.
Competition with "Iron Man 2" for the top overseas spot this coming weekend will heat up considerably as Universal opens its summer tentpole, director Ridley Scott's "Robin Hood" starring Russell Crowe, in some 56 markets. After making its debut at the International Festival de Cannes on May 12, "Hood" begins its foreign run in France and Russia plus four other territories. (The film's domestic run begins May 14.)

Please explain to me the emboldened parts.
