Though Labor Day is upon us domestically — and its somewhat equivalents in many overseas markets to mark the end of summer — the hits keep coming as holds this session were strong on the season’s leaders while a new entry surprised. To wit, and starting with the latter: Sony\/Escape Artists’ The Equalizer 3<\/em> blazed to a $60.6M<\/strong> global start this weekend, to clock the franchise’s best opening ever. Of that, the $26.1M<\/strong> debut in 49 international box office markets was also a new record bow for the Denzel Washington-led series.<\/p>\n The offshore start is 19% ahead of the previous installment and 29% ahead of the original in like-for-like markets at current exchange rates. And, there’s plenty of releases still to come including Mexico, Brazil, Japan and Korea in October.<\/p>\n Breaking News<\/span><\/p>\n Breaking News<\/span><\/p>\n Through this initial suite, the Top 5 markets are the UK<\/strong> ($3.5M), France<\/strong> ($2.8M), Germany<\/strong> ($2.4M), Spain<\/strong> ($1.7M) and Saudi Arabia<\/strong> ($1.6M).<\/p>\n In holdovers, and as we reported on Saturday, Universal’s Oppenheimer<\/em> has crossed $850M global, now at an estimated $851.3M<\/strong> through Sunday. This makes the Christopher Nolan juggernaut his 3rd biggest title ever worldwide, surpassing Inception<\/em>. <\/p>\n The 7th overseas frame was good for $49.7M<\/strong> (-32%) in 83 markets to bring the offshore cume to $542.7M<\/strong>, which tops Interstellar<\/em> to make Oppenheimer<\/em> the No. 3 Nolan title of all time internationally just behind Dark Knight Rises <\/em>and Inception<\/em>. The Cillian Murphy-led epic is Nolan’s biggest movie overseas when restated to today’s dollars.<\/p>\n New this session was China<\/strong> where Nolan has a big fanbase — and where he was the first major Hollywood filmmaker to do a tour since the pandemic. Coming off of a terrific 9.5 Maoyan audience score, the five-day opening cume is $30.3M, ranking a strong No. 1 ahead of local competition. That gives the film the biggest Hollywood opening this year behind only Fast X and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts <\/em>(note that Meg 2: The Trench<\/em> is excluded here as it is a China co-production). This is the 2nd biggest opening for a Nolan film in the market, trailing only Interstellar<\/em> by 17.8%.<\/p>\n The IMAX portion of Oppenheimer<\/em>’s China debut was a massive 30% at $9.3M on just 1% of the country’s screens. Noted IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond, “In its impressive debut in China, Oppenheimer<\/em> showed that it’s nowhere near finished dazzling audiences worldwide with its bold and uncompromising vision.” The global IMAX total is now $170M.<\/p>\n Overall to date, 59 markets have made this Nolan’s biggest move ever including Germany, France, India, Spain, Netherlands, Brazil and Italy.<\/p>\n The Top 5 markets through Sunday are the UK<\/strong> ($70.7M), Germany<\/strong> ($45.4M), France<\/strong> ($39.3M), China<\/strong> ($30.3M) and Australia<\/strong> ($25.3M).<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Warner Bros’ Barbie<\/em>, which, again as we reported yesterday, became the No.1 film of the year globally through Friday, dolled up another $13.2M<\/strong> from 75 markets across the 7th weekend for a running international cume of $771.5M<\/strong>. The overseas frame saw a slight 33% dip from the last with great holds in a number of hubs: Spain (-11%), UK (-12%), France (-22%), Italy (-29%), Germany (-31%) and Holland (-33%).<\/p>\n The global cume that puts Greta Gerwig’s phenom above all else in 2023 is $1.381B<\/strong>. To reiterate, this is WB’s biggest movie ever worldwide, its 3rd best internationally and tops for the studio in 37 markets including the UK, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and Poland.<\/p>\n Here are Barbie<\/em>’s Top 5 best overseas scores to date: UK<\/strong> ($119.5M), Australia<\/strong> ($54.7M), Germany<\/strong> ($54.9M), Mexico<\/strong> ($54.2M) and France<\/strong> ($46.8M). <\/p>\n Elsewhere, Sony’s Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story<\/em> added $8.7M<\/strong> in 64 markets for a $50.3M<\/strong> offshore cume and $79M<\/strong> global. Holdovers on the word-of-mouth pic were down just 30%. Still to come are Japan, Italy and Korea later this month.<\/p>\n WB’s China co-pro Meg 2: The Trench<\/em> chomped on another $8.5M<\/strong> in 77 markets. Offshore is now $296.6M <\/strong>with global at $375M<\/strong>. Top 5 here are China<\/strong> ($116.5M), Mexico<\/strong> ($20.7M), UK<\/strong> ($15.8M), France<\/strong> ($14M) and Spain<\/strong> ($12.2M).<\/p>\n Finally, Paramount’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem<\/em> opened in six new markets this session as it continues staggered rollout. The full frame put $5.4M<\/strong> on the half-shell in 57 markets to lift the international tally to $44.9M<\/strong>. Holdovers were down just 28%. Globally, TMNTMM<\/em> is at $152.9M<\/strong>. Still to release are Australia, Korea and Japan.<\/p>\n MISC UPDATED CUMES\/NOTABLE<\/strong> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nRelated Stories<\/h3>\n
