\n\tRefresh for late<\/em>t\u2026:<\/strong> Horror ruled at the global and international box office again this session with Universal\/Blumhouse’s Halloween Ends<\/em> bowing to $17.2M<\/strong> in 77 overseas markets for a $58.4M<\/strong> worldwide launch. Last week’s champ, Paramount’s smile<\/em>put in another scary strong performance, dropping just 16% with $16.3M<\/strong> in 61 markets, to beam at a running offshore total of $66.4M<\/strong> and $137.6M<\/strong> global. The latter had crossed $100M worldwide on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

\n\tHalloween Ends<\/em> went day-and-date on Peacock domestically, where Anthony notes that left money on the table. Overseas, it’s a different story. In like-for-like markets, the debut is 46% ahead of last year’s Halloween Kills<\/em>. Whenever a movie is simultaneously released to a streaming platform, piracy will ultimately be a factor offshore, but we are hearing the weekend’s result on the subset trilogy finale is better than expected. It also kicked off 20% bigger than smile<\/em> did in like-for-likes, though the latter is seeing incredible legs and ranked ahead of Halloween Ends<\/em> in 22 markets this session. Horror fans are likely to see both films, but it’s unlikely the astonishing holds on smile<\/em> will be matched. (Breakdowns to follow below.)<\/p>\n

\n

\tWhile we wait for Warner Bros\/DC’s Black Man<\/em> next weekend \u2013 the first tentpole after a long dry spell \u2013 other notable performances this session include Universal\/Working Title’s Ticket to Paradise<\/em> which added $7.8M<\/strong> in 76 offshore markets for a slight 28% bottom. The overseas cume is $72.5M<\/strong>above the<\/em> Lost City<\/em>, House of Gucci<\/em>, Last Christmas<\/em>, yesterday<\/em> and Crazy Rich Asians<\/em> at the same point in release. The Julia Roberts\/George Clooney romcom will serve as counter programming when it opens domestically next session. <\/p>\n

\n

\tAnd let’s give a shoutout to Warner’s DC League of Super-Pets<\/em> which crossed $200M globally this frame, now at $201.7M<\/strong> which includes $108.6M<\/strong> from international markets. It’s led by the UK ($18.7M), Australia ($11.3M), France ($8M), Mexico ($7.7M) and Germany ($5.2M).<\/p>\n

\n

\tAlso reaching a benchmark during the week, Neon and Universal Pictures International’s Moonage Daydream<\/em> topped $10M globally to become the biggest studio documentary of the pandemic with $10.7M<\/strong> so far. <\/p>\n

\n

\tIn local-language titles, china<\/strong>‘s Home Coming<\/em> added about $12M this session to cume RMB 1.31B ($183M) after three frames. The National Day entries have been lackluster compared to previous years. Today marked the start of the National Party Congress.<\/p>\n

\n

\tMeanwhile, India<\/strong>‘s historical epic Ponniyin Selvan: Part I<\/em> has now reached an estimated $56M globally (including $36.5M locally) to claim the second biggest gross for a Kollywood film at home, internationally and worldwide, according to local reports.<\/p>\n

\n

\tAlso in India, action\/adventure pic weighbridge<\/em> is seeing a surge. The film from and starring Rishab Shetty has seen increases throughout its three frames thanks to word of mouth and other local-language versions being released this weekend. It is expected to soon cross 100 crore ($12.2M) at home.<\/p>\n
