Pretty sure EMEA would be biggest in local currency.
Checked IM3 was beast in Europe. ER and 3D would be another factor. Would be $450mn EMEA easily.

This week will drop 55% Approx. $125-130mn closing i.e. ¥13.5-14 Billion IMO.
Weathering with You ¥14.05 Billion. So I will bet my money on WWY unless some miracle.
I guess there isn't one, so, speak.
Guess Asia will be region to watch. India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Phillipines, Thailand and Vietnam shall crack a good number.
China hopefully open big.
30k interested in Dolittle on BMS, 2 Weeks out. Final number shall be 100k.
That's really great. FWIW can open to $700-900k OD, perhaps $3.25-4mn weekend. That's just reading from BMS and RDJ hype.
RDJ should have done some larger than life and witty character film. That's what Hollywood lacks. Stars don't consolidate their image, except Rock. Rock in an action film can still bring good numbers internationally, but remove him from action stuff and he is fuss. RDJ has a bigger potential stardom, he needed to consolidate post Iron Man hype with something like Sherlock or some original action film even.
Still Asia will open well for the genre. Expecting $350mn, may be even $400-500mn if well liked.
