With a little help from their awesome soundtracks, Fifty Shades Darker has made an impressive box office debut at number one worldwide, while coming in second to The Lego Batman Movie domestically.

"Universal's 'Fifty Shades Darker' felt the love from global audiences as it earned an impressive $146.9 million worldwide, with over $100 million generated in 57 international territories," said comScore's Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian.

"That franchise film was followed by another piece of branded entertainment with fellow newcomer 'The Lego Batman Movie' from Warner Bros. constructing a solid $92.6 million 61 territory second place worldwide debut."

The numbers for Fifty Shades Darker may rise as the Valentine's Day celebration nears, making it a pretty nice box office hit for the second installment in the series.
