In India, parts of the movie were censored following complaints from local Christian communities. In Samoa, the film was banned by principal film censor Lei'ataua Olo'apu. Olo'apu stated that he was banning the film because it was "critical of the Catholic Church" and so as to "avoid any religious discrimination by other denominations and faiths against the church". Angels & Demons grossed $150 million worldwide in its opening weekend, including $48 million in the United States and Canada and became the #1 movie in the world for that week. Overseas Angels & Demons maintained the #1 position for the second weekend as well even with the release of Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian which opened at #2. The Da Vinci Code had opened domestically to $77.1 million, but the sequel's opening met Columbia Pictures' $40–50 million prediction, since the film's source material was not as popular as its predecessor's. The film has grossed more than $350 million worldwide so far, and it's eventually the largest grossed film of the 2009 so far.
