  1. Deadline:

     

    The Disney/Pixar pleaser crossed $700M during the past week worldwide and added Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Singapore to the toon’s territories this frame. With$10.9M more from international play, its global total is now $715.63M after 11 weekends. The Scandinavian territories got off to a great start with Denmarkposting the highest ever non-sequel opening for a Pixar release. It also grabbed the No. 1 slot, coming in above the debut of local title Summer Of 92 about the underdog Euro Cup champs of 23 years ago. Sweden opened above Pete Docter’s acclaimedUpSingapore brought the 2nd biggest Disney/Pixar animated opening weekend of all-time. Elsewhere, the holds continue to be joyful: France (-5%), Australia (-13%), UK (-18%), Japan (-24%), Hong Kong (-36%), Korea (-39%), Thailand (-38%). Italy is next for Riley and friends on September 16, followed by Germany on October 1 and the China start which is not yet dated.

    :D

    It opened with just $5M in France and it's going to end with more than $30M and possibly $35M if these insane drops continue.

  2. Exactly. Also if the film breaks out in China, 1.2 billion might be even possible! With the first non Disney film crossing 1 billion, this is a major moment for animated films in box office history.

    Not only is Minions the third animated film in history that reaches that mark - the major news here is that Despicable Me franchise is now the ONLY animated franchise EVER to have 2 spots in the top 5 highest grossing films of all time, with Illumination Entertainment becoming only the other studio (next to Disney) to have 2 films in the 5 highest grossing animated films of all time.

    This news can't be glanced over.

    Also the Minions/DM franchise has a key strength point over IA (Europe/Latin America strong) of KFP (Asia strong): it is huge in all continents: North America, Latin America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Australia – making it the only animated franchise, next to Frozen, to achieve sizable grosses in all these regions.

     

    It may even beat Frozen.

    You can't predict China.

    :)

  3. ... and here's the first trend for the weekend from insidekino.de - and it's a sad one, only 1 release with more than 100k admissions. :stretcher:

     

    #1: SOC - 200k admissions (the only bright spot)

    #2: MI5 - 90k (-35%, I think MI4 total is now completely out of reach)

    #3: Hitman - 80k (was in front of MI5 on Thursday but seems frontloaded)

    #4: Minions - 75k (-30%)

     

    ...

    At least Minions has a decent drop.
