Universal’s holiday pic gave its heart to $8Mworth of new business this session. Across 40 markets, the Emilia Clarke-starrer has now grossed $36.2M for $67.9M global. There were 16 markets added this weekend, with good holds in already opened hubs. Comparatively, the film is running 6% above Yesterday, 21% over The Intern, 23% ahead of Crazy Rich Asians and almost double About Time. France was a No. 7 opener at $874K, but above comps and looking toward holiday business. Brazil debuted to No. 1 with $600K from 478 locations. The UK leads all play with a 27% dip this session for $12.8M to date. Germany shed 26% for $4M so far and Australia is at $5.3M after a 35% slide in weekend 4. Russia, Korea, Mexico and Japan will be unwrapped this coming session. Source: Deadline

Last Christmas Universal’s holiday comedy romance added 11 markets this session for $8.6M from 21 so far. The like-for-like debuts are 11% above Me Before You and 25% ahead of Yesterday. The international cume is $13M to date for $35.5M global. The UK naturally led play with a $3.4M No. 1 start. This was director Paul Feig’s second best Friday bow, fractionally behind Bridesmaids. The Emilia Clarke-starrer also outpaced Ford V Ferrari which was a new opener. In the UK, Last Christmas is tracking in line with The Fault In Our Stars and ahead of other comps. Germany was a No. 2 bow with $1.58M on par with TFIOS, Yesterday and The Intern. Australia was the top hold with $3.2M to date and a solid 25% drop in weekend 3. There is plenty of overseas play to come with France, Brazil, Spain, Russia, Korea, Mexico, Japan and Italy counterprogramming through late December. Source: Deadline

Last Christmas obviously won’t make what many here were expecting but there’s precedent for it to still have a decent opening. In 2016 Universal’s “Almost Christmas” had a 507k in previews but $15.6 million OW (as per The Wrap). And Paramount’s “Instant Family” had a 550k preview for a 14,5M opening weekend (according to Deadline). Hopefully it follows one of these movies, considering its budget wouldn’t be bad. One can only hope.

Last Christmas tickets only went on sale last friday. Could be a reason for the softer sales? -

When it’s closer to its release (like 2 days before), I’d be really thankful if someone could post how Last Christmas is doing. Not sure if it’s worth to check this now, since it’s not a big movie and tickets just went on sale last friday. -
