DEADLINE write-up is here
Illumination/Universal’s animated hit keeps on going, adding another $4.2M in 44 markets this session. That takes the overseas total to $753.8M and the global kitty to $1.015B. Italy was the top holdover this session with a total of $20M after four weekends, and Japan, where it was No. 3 in the 9th frame, is now at $63M. DM3 is the No. 6 animated movie ever at the worldwide box office. To top the No. 5 movie, Zootopia, it would need another $8.8M.

Isn't the number better than the normal 40% drop this has been having?
If it increases (as it always does with actuals), it will be around a -37% or -38% drop. Around the same drop every weekend (which in itself is a great drop on any weekend of course).
If it keeps that pace, it should land around 1.025B or a bit more (maybe 1.030B)
Japan is having a holiday starting Sunday, so it will get a boost there (its run there is simply incredible, one of the best runs along with China).

@HereticDo we have a list of highest grossing animated films in the UK in local currency?

IT
New LineContinuing to break records after its mega global opening last weekend, New Line/WB’s adaptation of Stephen King’s Itadded 10 overseas markets this session for another $60.3M. That takes the offshore cume to $152.6M in 56 international hubs. The worldwide cume is $371.3M. This weekend’s drop was just 37% abroad.
The Andy Muschietti-helmed scarer had a fantastic bow in Mexico where it dominated 90% of the Top 5 movies with $13.85M on 4,300 screens. This is the biggest opening weekend ever for a horror movie there, WB’s best of 2017 and the studio’s No. 3 all-time biggest in the market.
Likewise, Sweden’s bow ($2.6M/186 screens) set records for the best horror launch and WB’s top 2017 debut frame. Further creating new thresholds for the biggest horror launch ever are Israel, Portugal, South Africa and Turkey.
In holds, It dipped just 38% in the UK for a cume of $27.7M to lead all markets. Australia floated its cume up to $11.8M. The movie stayed No. 1 and fended off four new opening pics for the honor. It also held No. 1 in Russia with $13.8M to date. Further No. 1s were in horror-friendly markets Brazil ($10.9M so far) and Spain($7.2M to date).
Indonesia meanwhile dropped by just 1% to lift its cume to $4.1M and Hollanddeflated by only 15% for a $3.3M total so far.
There are still several markets to go with France and Argentina launching next weekend and benefiting from the great momentum.

DM3's run is kind of like Dory to me. Both made $1B but their runs (apart from Dory's domestic) were kind of uneventful. They just were there. Sure $1B is a major accomplishment especially for animated films but it's less impressive then say Minions run, Frozen's run, or even Zootopia's run.
When a film breaks 4 box office records for an animated franchise, and propels its franchise to become highest animated franchise both OS and worldwide in history and when DM3 becomes the 3rd highest animated film all time OS, I call that very eventful:)
Dory had a superb run DOM, an OK run OS. DM3 the opposite: OK DOM but superb OS.

No disrespect to Illumination fans but both of their films last year: Pets and Sing felt like more impressive runs. DM3 felt like one of the most uneventful $1B run in my opinion.
This is because many look at domestic and focus on it more. Sure, Pets and Sing had way more impressive DOM runs, but DM3 had an insane OS run that will end up almost matching Minions at today's ER which makes it 3rd all-time OS among animated films. A $1B is a $1B, there is no such thing imo as an uneventful milestone as 1B. It's just that when focusing on DOM more in an analysis, the OS run gets less focused on and hence the view that it's not as exciting as the domestic run.

This is again insane for IT.
$60m second weekend beats the horror opening weekend again.
Those international holds are jaw dropping. Happy to have contributed again this weekend!
This is mind blowing!!
Annabelle 2 also almost at $100m domestically and now over $290m worldwide, surpassing Split and Get Out.
What a time for horror!
It will cross 700m WW or close to it by end of run. Amazing.

You are asking why people care about DM3 when it is talked once a month or may be less and it has had such a monstrous run. Last year we were talking x10 times about Moana for such a mediocre run. I can't imagine what it would have been like with Zootopia or Dory.
I am not telling you to like it nor to care but can't the fans of the franchise have their moment after such an impressive feat? It's not like there has been overtalk about that movie... Actually quite the opposite.
Oh and Illumination scored big box office records that even Disney or Pixar haven't even reached yet despite being in the business for over 20 years, so yup
-
The 4 box office records smashed by DM3 this year are:
1. Highest grossing animated franchise of all time worldwide
2. Highest grossing animated franchise of all time OS *internationally*
3. Only animated franchise to have 2 films crossing 1B worldwide
4. Only animated franchise in history to have 3 films crossing 900m and 950m worldwide
Plus: Illumination is now the only animation studio to have 3 films crossing 900m worldwide in their original runs. Not even Disney or Pixar did this in original runs for anby of their films (Nemo crossed 900m in its 2nd DOM run)
In the words of Chris Meledandri:
“The shadow of Disney is so large and looms so powerful that it’s shocking when we go head to head with them and we do beat them,” Meledandri said. He credited his films’ consistency and “populist” appeal.

DM3 is now the third animated film in history to cross 750m OS, after Minions and Frozen.
Second non-Disney/Pixar film to cross the mark after Minions.
And with a total of 1B+, yea, DM3 is a story of the year for sure.

Finally saw this and really liked it.
Gonna see it again. Very few things could have been done differently imo (maybe less CGI with pennywise) but overall superb film. Loved it.
