Good news from the UK thread: DM3 has reached £47.2m in the UK as of last weekend. It needs only £200,000 to cross DM2 and only £400,000 to cross Minions to become Illumination's highest grossing film ever in the UK and the third highest animated film ever in the UK after Toy Story 3 and Shrek 2.

The first film in the trilogy sold nearly 45% of its available weekend admissions. I'm sure there'll be a certain degree of frontloading here, but a total over ¥2 billion (~$20 million) is very likely. War for the Planet of the Apes had a so-so debut in second place, selling 148,909 admissions over the weekend frame on 756 screens. And since opening on Friday, the third film in the Apes series sold 192,328 admissions. Its debut is down 4% compared to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, but considering how it dropped in other established markets, I'd consider this debut "good". It'll probably exceed ¥1 billion with around ¥1.2/1.3 billion ($10/11 million). Outrage Coda experienced a rather harsh second weekend drop, but its strong weekdays have propelled it near a ¥1 billion total already. It'll have to stabilize very soon though over the weekends to keep its hope of reaching ¥2 billion alive, but at the very least, it's still almost guaranteed to become the highest-grossing film in the Outrage franchise. Ajin: Demi-Human exceeded the ¥1 billion milestone over the weekend, after three weeks in release. It's on course to exceed ¥1.5 billion ($13 million), perfectly solid for this time of year. A Dog's Purpose continues to hold well, and its total in Japan will soon overtake Mexico's to become its second biggest international market (obviously behind China's mammoth total). Love and Lies has yet to have its weekend figures released for some reason, but it debuted in 10th place so I'll leave its estimate here for now (I'll update when available). CORPSE
