Well that's a poor start. How much of that drop is due to this film not having IMAX showings?

 

It's doing pretty much as I expected. I predicted 132 mln RUB OW, Kinometro even less (110 mln RUB for Russia only). No one expected to match Awakening numbers (185.8 mln RUB). 

It's like a global trend that unnecessary sequels are doing worse than their predecessors. And this one clearly belongs to this category. 

 

Don't think lack of IMAX screens hurt it.  But 3D release only could prevent some people from going to cinemas.  Sony insisted on it to prevent piracy.

Wait, there are no 2D shows available in any market with this early rollout?

The international cume is $18.9M on the Kate Beckinsale-starrer. She’s been traveling with the film, heading to Berlin, Moscow and Mexico City.

Malaysia was also tops with $915K from 300 screens. The film, directed by Anna Foerster, also ranked No. 1 in Singapore, Vietnam, and Cambodia.
