I think you will see most being overestimates as Sundays seem to be weaker than Friday in most markets due to piracy..

 I foresee big drops going forward..due to piracy..

That shouldn't happen as almost all markets Sunday was over before Disney announced the numbers. Taiwan is probably because its Taipei numbers that are available at that time, Taiwan is estimated based on that, which is most of times very close.

Singapore actual $734,018

I know but Local Theater chains usually only send the actual Sunday numbers to them early next morning. I know Singapore does this by 9am on Monday morning; emails from Theater Chains to Distributors.

I will never understand why countries like France or Portugal are only getting this on December 3rd on Disney+. No Premier Access, no theatrical release. Nothing. Meanwhile everyone I know already watched it.

For France they have a quite strict release windows law for SVOD:

According to the law if the movie play in theater, it cannot play on Disney+/Netflix/etc,,, the next 3 years, maybe if a movie get a PVOD it also create some windows where SVOD is impossible that Disney want to avoid.

According to this, they could have struct an exceptional deal with France exhibition market but theater refused.

 

I would suspect something similar for portugal, skipping PVOD for regulation reason.
