MinaTakla Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 BOSS BABY DWA/20th Century Fox From DreamWorks Animation, the Fox release has nothing to cry about in Russia where a $10.3M No. 1 opening is Fox’s biggest ever on an animated title. The Tom McGrath-helmed pic stars Alec Baldwin (in the English-language version) as the eponymous besuited infant who infiltrates the Templeton family house with an agenda beyond just learning to crawl. The total offshore debut was $16.3M in five markets and on 2,083 screens. Australia adopted this baby to the tune of $4.1M at No. 2. Peru was next with $883K at No. 2 and 5% bigger than Despicable Me 2. Ukraine came in at No.1 with $519K (2.3 times bigger than Megamind whose IBO final was $173.5M), and Chile was also over that film by 11% with $450K at No. 1. There is a lot of competition in the family space during school holidays over the next several weeks, but the new concept appears to be clicking thus far. Another comp here to keep an eye on is DWA’s Home which released in March 2015 and went on to $209M offshore. Boss Baby waddles into 36 more markets next frame. http://deadline.com/2017/03/beauty-and-the-beast-kong-skull-island-power-rangers-china-weekend-box-office-international-1202052444/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze123 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 This movie is a solid hit for dreamworks. Based on this and Home, DWA should focus on "original" flicks than sequels. Sequels have under performed for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Impossible Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Could see it doing $50M+ in China. So $500M is still in play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP1025 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 1 hour ago, Mr Impossible said: Could see it doing $50M+ in China. So $500M is still in play. According to members in the China forum, this won't be released in China (not sure if quota issue or something else). Along with not getting a release in Japan, Boss Baby is missing out a huge chunk of the Asian market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) It's crazy that Japan has embraced Illumination and spit all over Dreamworks to the extent they don't even bother releasing movies there any more.

John Rambo Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Boss Baby did solid business in Indian Metros as well. Usually these kind of movies go unnoticed but this movie had a baby theme which most of them liked. Well deserved success. Btw why no release in Japan? They could give it a try if movies like Hunger Games can release and gross within 5mln why not this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
