Overseas, the pic earned $5.7 million from its first raft of markets for a global start of $17.7 million.

  UN teams respond to deadly earthquake in western Nepal The powerful 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck the remote and rural districts of Rukum (West) and Jajarkot shortly before midnight on Friday (local time) as families slept in their mostly mud-brick homes, trapping many under the rubble. Several aftershocks have since been reported. The shaking was also felt in the capital, Kathmandu, about 510 kilometres (about 315 miles) away.

Estimates indicate that thousands of school aged children live in the af...
