FRIDAY UPDATE:<\/strong> Universal \/ Amblin Entertainment’s Jurassic World Dominion<\/em> increased its offshore footprint to 15 markets on Thursday and has cumed $ 16.7M<\/strong> from those early releases through yesterday. The reboot threequel is now looking at a $ 50M + international box office opening this session. Domestic launches on June 10, as do 44 more offshore markets next week, including China where the movie is leading presales for that frame.<\/p>\n

The Colin Trevorrow-directed JWD<\/em> is currently led by Korea, and is also excelling in Latin America. <\/p>\n

Korea<\/strong>, as previously noted, opened huge on Wednesday’s Election Day holiday, setting a pandemic record and scoring the 4th best bow of all time. It experienced a typical post-holiday decline on Thursday and then increased today. The film is seeing competition from local hit, The Roundup<\/em>which has gone bonkers in the market that’s not had a homegrown title to embrace in some time. JWD<\/em>‘s cume through Friday in Korea is $ 8.4M (Friday’s $ 1.3M portion of that is not reflected in the overall international total above).<\/p>\n

Italy<\/strong> is the only European market where JWD<\/em> is stomping out this weekend, and had a strong $ 1.3M Thursday to start 75% above Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom<\/em> and 15% above Jurassic World<\/em>. The performance was bolstered by the national bank holiday. This is the best UPI opening in the pandemic, ahead of No Time To Die<\/em>and the 3rd best overall opening of the Covid era, behind Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/em> and Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness<\/em>.<\/p>\n

After squashing previous previews for the recent Jurassic<\/em> movies on Wednesday (see below), Mexico<\/strong> added $ 2M on Thursday for a $ 5.1M cume to date. JWD<\/em> commanded an 84% market share and marked the 3rd best second-day performance of the current era, again behind just Spider-Man: NWH<\/em> and Doctor Strange 2<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Brazil<\/strong> opened on 1,847 screens Thursday to $ 600K, in line with Jurassic World<\/em> and outperforming Fallen Kingdom<\/em> (+ 52%) and Venom 2<\/em> (+ 25%). It is the 5th biggest opening of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Argentina<\/strong> grossed $ 400K on Thursday, well above the previous Jurassic<\/em> titles as well as Top Gun: Maverick<\/em>. Fifty-two percent of box office was generated from 3D in the market. This is the 3rd best opening of the pandemic, again behind the two recent Marvel movies.<\/p>\n

Central America likewise kicked off with $ 400K on Thursday – a franchise best and UPI’s biggest opening day of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Other Latin American markets including Peru ($ 300K) and Colombia ($ 200K) are chomping on strong starts.<\/p>\n

More to come throughout the weekend. <\/p>\n

PREVIOUS, THURSDAY:<\/strong> Universal \/ Amblin Entertainment’s Jurassic World Dominion<\/em> stormed into Mexico<\/strong> on Wednesday with $ 3M worth of previews. That’s the best opening preview performance in the rebooted franchise, overtaking 2018’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom<\/em> by 53% and 2015’s Jurassic World<\/em> by 81%. Both of the earlier films had sneaks on a holiday. <\/p>\n

As we noted yesterday, the Colin Trevorrow-directed Dominion<\/em> is putting its dino-print out in 15 early overseas markets this weekend, ahead of the domestic bow on June 10. Projections for the current international box office frame are at $ 45M +, though we’ll have a clearer picture tomorrow as more numbers emerge , including from rollout in Brazil, Hong Kong and Italy.<\/p>\n

Regarding Mexico, the $ 3M yesterday represents the market’s 3rd biggest opening since the beginning of the pandemic and is topped only by Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/em> while 15% behind Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness<\/em> when comparing Wednesday starts. Technically, Doctor Strange<\/em> and JWD<\/em> were both in previews on a Wednesday, though the releases are just about as big as an opening day. <\/p>\n

Chris Pratt \/ Bryce Dallas Howard-starrer Dominion<\/em>, which also welcomes back legacy cast including Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, took 88% market share in Mexico on Wednesday and ranked No. 1 in all theaters. It also had the 3rd best opening for UPI behind Fate Of The Furious<\/em> and Furious 7<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Also as previously noted, JWD<\/em> stomped into Korea<\/strong> on Wednesday with $ 6M for the 4th biggest opening day of all time in the market – and the top pandemic-era bow. Wednesday was the Election Day holiday and there was sharp drop-off today as a result. The two-day cume there is now $ 7.1M.<\/p>\n

Dominion<\/em> takes place four years after Isla Nublar has been destroyed. Dinosaurs now live – and hunt – alongside humans all over the world. This fragile balance will reshape the future and determine, once and for all, whether human beings are to remain the apex predators on a planet they now share with history’s most fearsome creatures.<\/p>\n

The latest installment in the $ 5B + franchise also features new cast members DeWanda Wise, Mamoudou Athie, Dichen Lachman, Scott Haze and Campbell Scott. Returning cast includes BD Wong, Justice Smith, Daniella Pineda and Omar Sy. <\/p>\n

The screenplay is by Emily Carmichael and Trevorrow from a story by Derek Connolly and Trevorrow, based on characters created by Michael Crichton. Producers are Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley. Executive produces are Steven Spielberg, Alexandra Derbyshire and Trevorrow.<\/p>\n

We’ll have updates throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
