'Fifty Shades of Grey' Box Office News Update: Remains Red-Hot at Box Office and in Billboard As Well

Everything about "Fifty Shades of Grey" is red-hot these days. And there seems to be no stopping the successes of the erotic novel and its movie adaptation as the official soundtrack of the film is also making a statement of its own.

In a report, Billboard said the companion album of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" has scored the biggest debut for a multi-act compilation soundtrack since 2005.

The original soundtrack – including contributions from Beyoncé, Ellie Goulding, Annie Lenox, the Rolling Stones, and the Weeknd among others – landed at No. 1 on Soundtrack Albums, it added.

Billboard noted that "Fifty Shades" soundtrack is also tied at the second spot on Billboard 200 as it debuts with 258,000 album copies earned over the weekend.

It clarified that the original soundtrack album was able to sell 210,000 copies in the traditional way, marking the largest sales debut for a soundtrack since 2009 when Michael Jackson's sold 373,000 copies for "This Is It."

But unlike "This Is It," "Fifty Shades of Grey" has a multi-artist soundtrack. The feat achieved by "Fifty Shades of Grey" is the biggest since the last multi-artist compilation debut "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" in 2005.

That album, which sold 317,000 copies in its first week 10 years ago, featured tracks from 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Mobb Deep, Young Buck, and Tony Yayo among others

In a Forbes report, the movie based from E.L. James' sadomasochist books has already been placed among the top "directed-by-a-woman" global grossers ever.

"Fifty Shades of Grey" was a blockbuster in U.S. and Canadian movie theaters, earning $93 million in its four-day holiday weekend debut from Feb. 13 to 16.

The movie had crossed the $100-million mark at the domestic box office as of Thursday.

Forbes said the film continues to burn up the worldwide box office as well, with around $209 million in overseas grosses for an estimated $311 million worldwide total either on Friday or very soon after.
