Added 400k to earlier estimate 129.3m . INTERNATIONAL (100%) $129,700,000 WORLDWIDE $129,700,000

Just in time for Dune, which the run time need longer runtime to accommodate 4 shows on IMAX in a day

So we found the shortfall to 50m here....

Maybe Denis canadian status boost the box office profile further Zero until sandworm eats away AT&T

I saw this film last week in a almost full house IMAX hall but the standard screen next to it hardly reach any satisfactory level. After coming out from movie, I think this movie have enough material to go for trilogy but that means some expanded storyline need to be emplaced and that is a super risky move. Overall I think BR2049 is a better made movie but Dune has a more interesting world and story.

So when can we expect the non-market factor ticket purchase for Chang Jin Lake to subside? A lot of countries have patriotic movies and it is understandable but none of it going this shameless like in China. This is like North Korea, or HItler or ww2 Japan in making.

Is Halloween fall during weekend actually better for box office?

Didn't expect Dune to fall below 100k, but the mid-week number has been strangely strong for Dune like NTTD. Dune should be able to top 1.7m admission that translate to about $20m+

The offshore cume is now $348.3M for $447.5M worldwide. Daniel Craig’s last turn as Bond will soon overtake Godzilla Vs Kong to become the No. 2 Hollywood title of 2021, behind F9. The UK continues to lead play with a fantastic $93M through Sunday. The weekend hold was -46% at No. 1 despite the arrival of Venom 2. On Saturday, NTTD jumped 60% pointing to the multi-generational aspect of the title. The movie is now the UK’s third biggest Bond and Universal’s third biggest picture ever. Germany has grossed $46.3M to date with a terrific 22% drop this session, still at No. 1. Likewise, France maintained the top spot with a 37% dip for $17.3M through Sunday. Other major market cumes include Japan ($16.3M) and Netherlands ($12.1M). In Hong Kong, NTTD is now the biggest 007 movie ever at $6M. China releases October 29, followed by Australia on November 11.

The international cume in the format is now $19.3M and the global IMAX total it $31.6M.

HOLDOVERS VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE Sony/Marvel Sony’s sequel is having a wild ride overseas with $62.3M from 44 offshore markets this session, a 42% drop in holdovers. That lifts the international cume to $115.6M after the movie already set pandemic records in Russia and Latin America, demonstrating again that audiences are returning when the product is there . As noted above, the Tom Hardy-starrer has landed No. 1s in 39 markets and is currently outpacing pandemic releases Shang-Chi (+102%), Black Widow (+76%), No Time To Die (+34%) and F9 (+17%) at the same point in release and in like-for-like markets. Western Europe delivered $18M for the symbiote with records in both Spain ($3.9M) and Italy ($3.7M) as the highest openings of the pandemic era. In the former, the debut was 8% above the original film. The UK launched at $8.3M, 7% ahead of Venom and the second-best standard opening of the pandemic. The Middle East earned $6.9M. Saudi Arabia accounted for $2.1M which is Sony’s best start ever. Eastern Europe contributed $7.3M, led by Ukraine’s third best opening weekend of all time at $2.7M. Poland’s launch was 59% above Venom with $1.3M. As a region, Asia grossed $17.8M from six markets. The opening was the highest in Taiwan ($2.8M) since cinemas resumed operations. Korea’s $9.5M start was the second best for a Hollywood title during the pandemic and is especially notable given how soft the market has been of late. India likewise gave Venom the second best start for a studio movie at $2.1M. Strong IMAX results out of Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea helped propel the global total to $12.7M. In holds, Russia has now cumed $28.2M to make Venom 2 the biggest Hollywood movie of pandemic times. In Latin America, it retained the top slot across the region. Mexico has now grossed $16.8M and Brazil was down just 34% for a market cume of $7.2M. The first movie did 75% of its business overseas, including a massive $269M from China. Venom 2 does not yet have a China date, but will see upcoming releases in France and Germany next session, followed by Australia and Japan in November and December.

So far each weekend in oct generate close to 110m gross but 2019 had 134m and 146m in 2018, suggest that there are 20-30m "unclaimed" box office still available out there.

Where is North korea and Russia hacker when you need them??

In the nutshell....

I am disappointed by Japan number especially 1.8m is even lower than BR2049's 2.7m. I think Japan is the 1st major territory that Dune open lower than BR2049. HK, Taiwan and Japan number confirm that Dune will likely do half as much as Tenet in most Asia countries.

It is very funny to see all the diversity and inclusion in the film industry only cover racial diversity, forgetting the fact that product diversity is also very important health indicator.

But 48% 3rd weekend from Columbus week suggest the movie is stabilizing. If BW can catch some break at 4th or 5th week at 40% range drop, no way we can rule out the same for V2. Of course BW has better mid-week thanks to Summer but V2 is doing ok to close that gap during weekend. Not to mention if the movie can hit 198m range, Sony will give it a try to 200m during the week or leading up to NWH opening.

It is definitely a disappointing domestic number but far from flop, at least the overseas number are in as good as it get range.

That is why we have theme park segment and art house segment of cinema

HK over 50m certainly help its chance to pass 100m , even by crawling to that threshold. V2 good Saturday means the odd of over 200m is still looking good. Currently 14m ahead of BW at the same point of running. I honestly don't think so, If F9 able to only -50.3% when BW took over, NTTD will have some solid chance holding better than that. Spectre drop 55% in 3rd week because of HG part 2 that came over 100m, Dune isn't going to be that big and part of the "suffering" of losing PLF/IMAX screen was already reflected in this weekend

The buzz from US overperformance certainly help the international debut. It is massive almost everywhere
