Not sure how normal this is but this seems like a hella impressive holiday bump internationally
It did open in India this weekend but still, they're not typically a significant Hollywood market
Australia was also new this weekend, but this is still an excellent bump.
QuoteIllumination/Universal’s Migration winged its way to a 70% jump overseas amid the holidays, and crossed $100M worldwide. It added $17.1M in 68 offshore markets this weekend for an international total of $46.5M as staggered rollout continues. The global cume is now $100.8M.
Australia was a new play with $2.9M, since beginning release on December 26th’s Boxing Day holiday.
France was up 116% this session while Germany doubled last weekend’s result. Italy increased 86% and Spain was up 38%. Denmark (+208%) and Netherlands (+130%) also saw mega upticks. The Top 5 markets to date are Germany ($6.8M), Mexico ($5.4M), France ($6.6M), Italy ($2.9M) and Spain ($2M). -

How so? What am I missing here? Inside Out is the Oppenheimer to JW's Barbie (even though they didn't open the same week). It's not the Mission Impossible in that year, because there was no second movie making close to a billion. Inside Out WAS that second movie. Avengers was basically at the end of its run then, so it's not a comparable situation.
Probably counting Minions as the other >$1 billion film, though that was released 3 weeks after Inside Out.

But is it worth premium price to see in theaters for a family of 3+?
It's getting harder to justify for families when there are similar films like Leo (another recent heartfelt animated film with talking animals) available for free at home.

Puss in Boots nearly got there off a $12M opening, and Migration doesn't face any competition until Kung Fu Panda 4 in March.
I doubt Migration will get the same kind of multiplier as Puss. That had much better reception (to the point of being considered a possible Oscars winner) and basically zero family competition its whole run (only the tail end of Strange World, which was done by that point). Migration will have to deal with the staying power of Wonka and several other animated films still in release. Films like Trolls 3 and Wish don't have too much left in the tank but they'll still siphon millions of dollars that would otherwise have gone to Migration.

I'd like to throw some water on these Disney defenders in here saying the company is fine. It's actually the opposite. The theme parks took a hit this Summer.
There was a summer slump, but it seems overall business had been trending up until then.
QuoteThe theme parks segment had more than $24 billion in overall revenue for the first nine months ended July 1. That’s 17% higher than the first nine months of 2022. Theme park admissions alone accounted for nearly $8 billion of 2023′s nine-month total, up 21% from the same period in 2022.

Easily, its a sequel to a $1.1b grosser that might do only 20% of that
Looks like Marvels will beat Alice Through the Looking Glass for the largest ever drop for a sequel.

Out of the recent global phenomenons, Japan has only embraced TGM and Mario. NWH, Avatar 2, and now Barbie were all disappointments in Japan compared to other markets (with Barbie being closer to bomb territory).

It will be the biggest movie of the year eevrywhere. Mario is a toast.
Don't think it will come close to Mario in Japan for obvious reasons.

Seems like $550M is a more likely target at this point. Probably another $30M or so DOM, $75-85M International. Another $100-110 total.
So potentially lower than TLM WW but with a much lower domestic gross and a higher budget. Really did not see this coming at all.

From 2015 onwards minus 2020 . Highest grossing movie domestic has been 600M+
There wasn't one in 2016 either. Rogue One was #1 with $532 million DOM.

Barbie is this year’s TGM
It really is. Not only in the raw numbers (which are huge), but in the sense that it's grossing quadruple or more what most reasonable predictions had before tracking hit. What a thrilling development after much discourse on here about how this summer wouldn't have another TGM.
-
Just no words for this performance. Mario looked super safe to win the year both DOM and WW, but Barbie has a real shot of taking the crown.

Mario will pass Conan for #2 this year. The weekday holds have been up two weeks in a row.
It's really benefting from summer weekdays, especially as the only kids-skewing film until the new Crayon Shin-chan next week,

Saturday and sunday in Australia have been the biggest of all time.
Really the ken- apocalypse 😭
Out of all the individual market records, this one is the most amazing to me.

Looks like TLM will need a serious push to reach $300 million DOM after all. Losing 1000 theaters this weekend and immense competition from Barbie absolutely crippled its remaining legs.
-
Barbie is a much needed win for WB. Imagine predicting a year ago that Barbie would outgross Flash final DOM after just 2 days.

My god. I admit I haven't been following tracking recently, but I never expected Barbie could be this huge. Depending on WOM, beating Mario DOM to win the year is on the table.

Not surprised by the gender divide. There is a big anti-feminist wave in South Korea in recent years.
-
That puts MI7's 6-day total roughly $5.6 million behind Indy's. The second weekend will likely be lower too thanks to the effect of Barbieheimer, but hopefully it can start to gain ground from the 3rd weekend onwards.

Getting Madagascar vibes from this. The Christmas holiday period pretty much ensures this will be a hit given it's the only kids-skewing film like Puss was last year.
-
This is like the sixth time Awkwafina has voiced an animal (third time voicing a bird). Depending on her role in Kung Fu Panda 4, that will be seven.

In the UK, $13.8M made for the best start for the franchise at 717 locations. India, for its part, launched with a No. 1 $9M at 1,872 locations for the best weekend bow of the year. In Australia, the No. 1 debut was good for $8.3M and the best-ever for the Mission movies. France launched M:I7 to $7.7M at 785 sites while Taiwan drove up $7M from just 101, the best of the bunch.
That's an insane PTA from Taiwan.

Top 5 next weekend thoughts
Barbie 148M
Oppie. 70M
MI7. 25M
SOF. 13M
Insidious 7M
Doubt Sound of Freedom will drop that hard. The increase this weekend is a sign that WOM is still building (helped by the theater expansion).

What a shocking drop from Crystal Skull's ~$475 million OS minus China. In admissions, the drop is even more horrible.

Will be interesting to see if it does manage to crawl over Paw Patrol in the end. A big-budget WDAS musical losing to that film is just embarrassing.
