After debuting early last weekend, Universal’s The Fall Guy expanded to 78 overseas markets during its sophomore session, adding $25.4M for a running total of $36.9M at the international box office. That’s in line with Bullet Train and above The Lost City at the same point in release. Globally, the David Leitch-directed action romance is at $65.4M.

Odeon was the top-performing circuit, and Everyman registered a 9% share, 3.1 points higher than their average for the year. Performance across 51 IMAX screens made up 7.6% of the total. The weekend result is well above Bullet Train and The Lost City. Monday is a holiday.
Mexico opened to $2.5M at No. 2 across 1,607 screens. The Fall Guy performed best in high-attendance and middle-to-high income theaters from main and second tier cities, with strong indexing from VIP sites at 18.1% of admissions.
France debuted with $2.3M, ranking No.2 in the market behind local breakout Un P’tit Truc en Plus. The opening, excluding previews, is above The Lost City. Word of mouth is positive with a 3.8 from AlloCiné audiences. There are staggered school holidays afoot and next week includes a five-day weekend.
