Film

UPDATED: As it’s early January, we are still largely in holdover mode. But that shouldn’t discount the performance of those movies that released at the end of last year and are still doing solid business. Among them are Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King and Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Also, as previously noted, Moana 2 has surfed past $1B global.

For its part, Mufasa roared in with another $20.3M this session, in 52 overseas markets. The international total through Sunday is $382.2M for $588M global. In its 5th offshore weekend, the dip was 31%. The Top 5 markets to date are: France ($35.9M), UK ($32.6M), Mexico ($26.8M), Germany ($26.3M) and Italy ($22.6M).

As for Paramount’s super Sonic, it’s now set a new record as the franchise’s highest-grossing title with $420M global through Sunday, besting the $405M of Sonic 2. Of that, $203.5M is from 64 offshore markets. The holdover drop was 36% internationally this session, during which it added $15.2M
