Refresh for latest…: Last week’s champ, and this week’s holdover winner, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, took in an estimated $28.7M overseas, keeping the momentum spurred by its recent world premiere in Venice. The offshore drop was 44% which is good for this sort of title.
The international running cume is $76.3M; and the worldwide total is currently $264.3M through Sunday.
Imax added $4.7M in global box office for the 2nd frame.
Japan is set to release on September 27th and will be the last overseas market to open
Universal/Blumhouse’s Spak No Evil also started chatting overseas this frame in 73 markets and with a $9.3M start in 73 markets. The offshore debut is in line with recent horror comps.
Continuing to perform in seeming lockstep for two very different genre propositions are Columbia Pictures/Wayfarer Studios’ It Ends with Us and 20th Century Studios/Disney’s Alien: Romulus.
The former has yet to release in Hong Kong and Japan and is showing strong playability with $7.3M from 61 markets this session. That brings the cume to $180.6M overseas and $325.5M worldwide.
Also after getting to the three-century mark last weekend, 20th Century/Disney’s Alien: Romulus is now at $330.7M global, with $229.4M coming from international markets. The Fede Alvarez take is still sticking at the top of the charts in China, Japan and Korea (among non-local titles) in what amounted to a $6.3M overseas frame.
The overall overseas drop was 55%. The Top 5 markets to date on Romulus are China ($104.2M), UK ($16.7M), Korea ($14.5M), France ($11.3M) and Mexico ($8.2M).
Deadpool & Wolverine danced to another $5.7M internationally this session. That brings the overseas total to $683.5M and global to $1.305B. After eight weekends in worldwide play, the Merc now fronts the 23rd movie ever to cross $1.3B.
Top 5 markets to date: UK ($72.7M), China ($59.6M), Mexico ($43.5M), Australia ($42.5M) and Germany ($38.3M).
