Refresh for latest ….: As we reported earlier today, Deadpool & Wolverine this weekend crossed the $1B global box office milestone , a major feat and with swagger to spare. But, hey, there’s a lot going on at turnstiles alongside the Merc with the Mouth.
'Deadpool & Wolverine' Struts Past $1B Global Box Office; Soon To Become Biggest R-Rated Movie Ever Worldwide
Impressively, a female-driven title that cost peanuts is making bank. To wit: Sony and Wayfarer Studios’ It Ends With Us has had a mega $80M global opening. The international box office portion of that, before a lot of other markets weigh in, is $30M. Notably still to come are France, Germany, Colombia, Thailand, Indonesia, Italy, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Korea and Japan.
The adaptation of the best-selling novel by Colleen Hoover is just getting started with a third of the overseas footprint left to come and word of mouth chomping along. The film ranked in the Top 2 spots in 32 markets, running alongside Deadpool & Wolverine, and was No. 1 in 12 markets.
Yeah, It Ends with Us star Blake Lively is married to D&W ’s Ryan Reynolds, and there have been a lot of co-photo ops recently — nobody’s gonna deny that that’s a help in both directions. We also hear strongly that Lively was integral to It Ends with Us creatively and deserves a huge amount of credit here. The studio also gets huzzahs for an ultimately perfect release date.
Digging down, in Europe, It Ends with Us delivered $13.5 million with the UK taking the No. 1 slot at $5.7 million. Latin America debuted to $7.8 million , led by a No. 1 in Brazil with $3.4M. In Mexico, the movie nabbed a great $2.5M.
In Asia Pacific, the film logged $6.6M, led by Australia with a really impressive $4.7M and followed by India with a strong $600K. The Middle East took in $2.1M with the UAE pulling in $802K and Saudi Arabia opening to $671K.
Here are the Top 5 markets to date (note the first one, that’s impressive): Saudi Arabia ($23.5M), Mexico ($15.6M), UK ($15.4M), Germany ($12.7M) and France ($11.3M).
