Black Panther 2 Jumps To $676M WW; Strange Inanimate World – Deadline

November 28, 2022

In its third weekend, Disney/Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever continued to reign supreme at the global and international box office. With a $32.1 million offshore framework (-53%), the following has a total overseas of $308 million for $675.6 million worldwide until Sunday.

Before taking a closer look at the grip wakanda foreverhowever, attention turns to Disney’s newest entry this session, the animation strange world which arrived with a thud at $9.2M in 43 foreign markets and $27.8M worldwide, including the five-day national holiday.

strange world is an original animated IP that, heading into the weekend, was eyeing a $25 million offshore startup and found itself worlds away from it.

The film about a family of explorers entered the overseas landscape with no holidays to boost it and the World Cup acting as a distraction while skipping several markets. Last June, Disney chose to forgo a theatrical release in France to take a stand against the market’s archaic windowing system. Then, as we reported last week, the studio preemptively withdrew from theaters in more than 20 international markets where the film’s LGBTQ+ content would most likely have forced edit requests.

By taking this preventive measure with strange world in regions like the Middle East, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Vietnam, and East and West Africa, we noticed that Disney was probably leaving some money on the table. Last years Charm made just under $25 million in the same markets where strange world does not release – and that he himself was less than he could have been given Charm died out as many of these areas struggled against Omicron.

At the end of the day, strange world was consistent in that it didn’t click anywhere. The first market was the UK to $1M, followed by Spain, Mexico and Italy with $700,000 each and Germany at $600,000. The film is eyeing a potential $40 million overseas finish.

In other new pieces, Matilda the musical by Roald Dahl had a strong No. 1 launch in the UK with $5 million. Sony and TriStar Pictures released the film there while Netflix has it in the US and other markets starting December 25.

The new version of the Tony and Olivier award-winning musical won a 45% share of the UK box office over the weekend, clinching around 50% ahead of Black Panther which is in its third weekend, and five times more strange world.

At current exchange rates, by Mathilde opening is 60% ahead of The The greatest showman and is set up for a long run in the UK.

Back in the waiting game, black panther 2The international run-up of $308 million topped the final gross of 15 MCU releases so far (excluding China and Russia and at current rates). It is currently running 5% lower than the original Black Panther and 6% late Thor: Love and Thunder while 7% ahead of Thor: Ragnarok and 16% above The Batman.

On Monday, BP2 will pass Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets to become the No. 7 highest-grossing film of 2022. It is still targeting an international finish of around $415 million.

The 5 main markets to date are the UK ($32.3M), Mexico ($29.3M), France ($25.2M), Brazil ($16.2M) and Korea ($15.9 million). The worldwide IMAX total is $43.5 million.

Projector of The menu served another $5.4M of 41 contracts this framework, bringing the offshore count to $14.8M and worldwide to $33.5M. The decline since opening was 39%, including a 30% jump in Indonesia and small declines in Mexico, Germany and Italy. The UK leads the game to $2.4 million.

In the local game, thriller The night owl bowed #1 in Korea with $6.1 million while the Japanese title Detective Conan: Halloween’s Bride raised his China Cume at 120.5 million RMB ($16.8 million) after two images and before One Piece Movie Red going there on December 2.
