BoxOfficePro: The studio reports that in Colombia, Encanto is already the sixth-highest-grossing animated release of all time and the highest-grossing animated film of the pandemic era. Total is $5.9M.

BoxOfficePro reports that the Top markets are Korea ($26.8M), the U.K. ($19.3M), France ($15.6M), Mexico ($14.9M), Brazil ($12.1M) and Australia ($10.7M).

Encanto and Ghostbusters are neck and neck in screens this weekend, with the lower ticket prices for the Disney movie wonder if it can keep the top spot. House of Gucci doing well in big cities.

That'd be an amazing result! No other movie has crossed the 10M audience threshold since Frozen 2 in 2019. It's been a while.
