Film

Warner Bros/DC’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom began offshore rollout on Wednesday, and with numbers through Friday included has grossed $40.9M in 73 international box office markets. This portends a full overseas opening in the $70M range. With domestic’s three- and four-day, the global start will top $100M.

Overseas, the UK debuted on Thursday, with $712K from 1,1994 screens, ranking as the runner-up behind the strong continued performance of Wonka. The number is roughly on par with The Flash and 33% below the original Aquaman, both of which opened on a Wednesday. Through Friday, the UK is at $1.6M.

Germany also kicked off on Thursday, taking $520K on 589 screens and ranking No. 1. The results are more than double the opening day of The Flash, ahead of The Marvels (+81%) and Black Adam (+27%) and on par with Ant-Man and the Wasp. They are 31% below Aquaman. The launch saw 68% coming from 3D. Including previews, the running cume through Friday is $1.5M.

In China through Saturday the cume is $23.2M (today’s portion of that is not included in the international total above). The film has a 9 on Maoyan vs a 9.3 for the original film. Maoyan is projecting a final of $47M for the full run in the market which has become increasingly tepid towards Hollywood and where a host of local end-of-year titles will join next weekend.

The Top 5 markets on Aquaman 2 through Friday are China ($13.9M), Mexico ($3.4M), Brazil ($1.9M), Indonesia ($1.9M) and France ($1.6M).

Meanwhile, WB/Village Roadshow/Heyday Films’ Wonka has crossed the $200M mark worldwide, landing at $215.8M through Friday. The overseas portion of that is $151.9M. Thursday’s $7.1M in 77 markets was on par with the same day last week.

The Top 5 markets to date are the UK ($32.5M), Mexico ($14.3M), Germany ($8.7M), Australia ($8.2M) and Spain/Japan ($7.6M).
