Similar to recent weeks, we’re still in a holding pattern at the international box office, awaiting major new wide studio releases. There were a few milestones this session, however, and Japan has in general been a bright spot with local pic One Piece Film: Red and the continued thrum of Top Gun: Maverick while the market does the bulk of the lifting to potentially push Jurassic World Dominion across the $1B mark worldwide.
Japan this frame did help get Universal/Amblin’s six-film Jurassic franchise across the $6B mark globally to $6.06B. The current installment, Jurassic World Dominion, is now at a worldwide tally of $990.4M through Sunday. As we noted last weekend, Japan was the last major market to release, and may be the swing on whether the JWD dino-meter clicks past $1B. The market was the top holdover with a 25% drop in its 5th frame, for a $40.9M local cume.
Offshore, JWD is at $615.7M, surpassing No Time To Die to become the 3rd highest-grossing Hollywood pic of the pandemic era overseas.
Overall, Universal/Illumination’s Minions: The Rise Of Gru led offshore play with a $15M weekend in 84 markets (-45%). The gang passed $500M on Thursday overseas ($514M.1 through Sunday) and is pushing the five-film Despicable Me franchise across $3B internationally. The global total is now $868.9M.
Notable markets include the UK ($50.6M), Germany ($30.8M), Japan ($30.3M) and France ($23.5M).
Universal’s Nope trotted into 20 more markets in the session for a total 78. The weekend scared up $8.3M (-54% in the holdovers) for a $31.1M international cume. Global is now at $148.7M. Of that, IMAX reps $13.1M.
Brazil scored the 4th biggest horror opening since the start of the pandemic at a No. 1 $600K, above both Peele’s earlier titles. S
