Do we know how many major markets still left to open? The rollout pattern may distort the projection. 

 

Imdb usually have a list (but it isn't always perfect), in this case it say Minions 2 still has to open in France, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and Italy

From Deadline Hollywood:

 

In like-for-likes at today’s exchange rates, the new openers are 23% below Minions and 13% below Despicable Me 3. Including Australia, results in Week 2 are tracking 13% below Minions and just 3% below DM3. France, Japan, Korea and Italy are still to unleash the little fellows.

 

Gru and the crew set some new milestones internationally with four markets scoring the biggest animation opening weekend of all time (Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Venezuela); and 52 markets setting the best animated launch of the pandemic

 

Universal pulled out all the stops on a global marketing campaign that included pop-up stores, music festival appearances and shopping mall takeovers as well as a clever TikTok “Minions In Suits” challenge that went viral over the frame.

I know it's hella early but is a billion looking achievable?

Maybe no. The opening in US (3-day) is below Minions and OS like Deadline said is below Minions and DM3 + this won’t have China.

Full Update From Deadline Hollywood:

 

After debuting in Australia last session, this origins story from directors Kyle Balda, Brad Ableson and Jonathan Del Val came in above expectations with an $87.2M weekend in 61 markets. The offshore cume through Sunday is $93.7M for $202.2M worldwide. The overseas portion is running just 13% below Minions at the same point and 3% behind Despicable Me 3.
There are still such major markets to go bananas as France, Korea, Japan and Italy.

 

As noted above, there were milestones aplenty while 11 markets had the biggest Universal animation opening weekend ever excluding previews (Argentina, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Egypt, Pakistan, Poland, Uruguay, Turkey, Chile, Norway); and 14 markets had the top Illumination animation launch weekend of all time outside previews (Argentina, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Pakistan, Poland, Uruguay, Turkey, Chile, Norway, UAE, Vietnam, Sweden, Egypt).

The UK was the biggest opener at $12.9M. Saturday saw a 50% bump versus Friday (which had seen the best start ever for a Universal animated film and an Illumination title). The Friday/Saturday are 2% ahead of the first film, and 6% ahead of the opening two days for Incredibles 2.

 

Mexico is estimated at $12.4M across 920 locations and 4,053 screens. This would make it Universal’s 3rd biggest animated opening weekend behind Minions (-15%) and DM3 (-4%). 

 

Germany’s weekend is estimated to reach $4.8M from 698 locations and 1,359 screens, in line with DM2, and below DM3 and Minions.

 

Spain is playing across 424 locations and 873 screens with the overall weekend estimated at $3.6M, the biggest animated opening of the pandemic and just below Minions and DM3.

 

Indonesia is on track for an opening weekend of $3.4M from 776 screens, the biggest Universal and Illumination launch weekend of all time including previews.

 

Outside the Top 5, Argentina is tracking to $3.3M, the top animation opening ever for box office, and the 3rd best among all titles; Brazil grossed an estimated $3.2M; Poland is estimated at $2.4Mthe top Universal and Illumination animated opening of all time, and the 2nd biggest animation ever excluding previews. The opening day had already broken the record as biggest of the pandemic, beating Spider-Man: No Way Home. Netherlands is seeing $2M, just 1% off Minions excluding previews and the Middle East as a whole is forecasted to $4.7M.

 

In Israel, the TikTok stunt “Minions in Suits,” helped propel the movie to $1.5M for the biggest animation opening of all time as well as Universal’s 2nd biggest opening weekend of all time excluding previews (only behind Fast 8).

 

In Australia, and with kids’ holidays, the sophomore session increased by 50% versus last weekend for a running cume of $12.2M.

 

The overseas IMAX total on TROG is $1.3M.
