\tIn its third weekend, Disney\/Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever <\/em>continued to reign at the global and international box office. with a $32.1M<\/strong> offshore frame (-53%), the sequel has an overseas total of $308M<\/strong> for $675.6M<\/strong> worldwide through Sunday.<\/p>\n

\n

\tBefore we look more closely at the hold on Wakanda Forever<\/em>however, attention turns to Disney’ new entry this session, the animated Strange World<\/em> which arrived with a thud at $9.2M<\/strong> in 43 overseas markets and $27.8M<\/strong> globally, including the domestic five-day holiday.<\/p>\n

\n\tStrange World<\/em> is original animated IP that, as we came into the weekend, was eyeing a $25M offshore start and ended up worlds away from that.<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe 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 also skipping several markets. Last June, Disney chose to forgo a theatrical release in France as a stance against the market’s archaic windowing system. Then as we reported last week, the studio preemptively opted out of theatrical in more than 20 international markets where the movie’s LGBTQ+ content would have very likely forced demands for edits.<\/p>\n

\n

\tBy taking this preemptive step with Strange World <\/em>In such areas as the Middle East, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Vietnam and East and West Africa, we noted coming in that Disney was likely leaving money on the table. last year’s Encanto<\/em> did just under $25M in the same markets where Strange World<\/em> is not releasing \u2014 and that itself was lower than it might have been given Encanto<\/em> went out when many of those areas were battling Omicron. <\/p>\n

\n

\tUltimately, Strange World<\/em> was consistent in that it just didn’t click anywhere. The top market was the UK<\/strong> at $1M, followed by Spain<\/strong>, Mexico City<\/strong> and Italy<\/strong> with $700K Germany<\/strong> at $600K. The movie is eyeing a potential $40M finish overseas. See Anthony’s take on why it didn’t go straight to streaming everywhere. <\/p>\n

\n

\tIn other new play, Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical<\/em> had a strong No. 1 launch UK<\/strong> with $5M. Sony and TriStar Pictures released the movie there while Netflix has it in the US and other markets beginning December 25. <\/p>\n

\n

\tThe new take on the Tony and Olivier Award-winning musical nabbed a 45% share of the UK box office over the weekend, landing an estimated 50% ahead of Black Panther<\/em> which is in its third weekend, and five times above Strange World<\/em>. <\/p>\n

\n

\tAt current exchange rates, Matilda’s<\/em> opening is 60% ahead of the<\/em> Greatest Showman <\/em>and is set up for a long UK run.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\tBack in holdover play, Black Panther 2<\/em>‘s $308M international cume has exceeded the final gross of 15 MCU releases so far (excluding China and Russia and at current rates). It is currently running 5% below the original Black Panther<\/em> and 6% behind Thor: Love and Thunder<\/em> while 7% ahead of Thor: Ragnarok<\/em> and 16% above The Batman<\/em>. <\/p>\n

\n

\tOn Monday, BP2<\/em> will pass Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore<\/em> to become the No. 7 highest-grossing movie of 2022. It is still eyeing an international finish around $415M.<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe Top 5 markets to date are the UK<\/strong> ($32.3M), Mexico City<\/strong> ($29.3M), France<\/strong> ($25.2M), Brazil<\/strong> ($16.2M) and Korea<\/strong> ($15.9M). The global IMAX total is $43.5M.<\/p>\n

\n

\tSearchlight’s The Menu<\/em> served up another $5.4M<\/strong> from 41 markets this frame, taking the offshore tally to $14.8M<\/strong> and global to $33.5M<\/strong>. The drop from opening was 39% including a 30% jump in Indonesia and soft dips in Mexico, Germany and Italy. the UK<\/strong> leads play at $2.4M. <\/p>\n

\n

\tIn local play, thriller The Night Owl<\/em> bowed No. 1 inch Korea<\/strong> with $6.1M while Japanese title Detective Conan: The Bride of Halloween<\/em> raised its china<\/strong> cume to RMB 120.5M ($16.8M) after two frames and before One Piece Movie Red<\/em> travels there on December 2. <\/p>\n
