OD here in Denmark is surprisingly very good

[Poseidon]

This one is definetely outpacing the original in Germany. Yeah, bad weather helps, but it's a big surprise. 

France looks to open in the same region as the first movie as well.

That was all you. Thank you for service, sir.

looks like most markets are gonna be right around the original unless WOM is particularly toxic

Seems to be opening around what the first did in Europe and China 

 

however, legs probably won’t be as good and domestic is a lot lower so worldwide will be lower than the first

[fmpro]

20-21 mill $ OD in China

[fmpro]

Read somewhere that budget is 129 mill

 

Should be fine financially and a 3 one could happen

Speaking of China, Warner Bros’ coproduction Meg 2: The Trench has taken its first bites at the international box office, grossing $11.5M through Thursday in 57 markets. The giant shark also swam into China today, opening with an estimated RMB 146.1M ($20.4M). That figure is not included in the numbers through Thursday and while there is not yet a Maoyan audience score in the market, the ticketing platform is predicting an RMB 1B ($140M) finish across the full run. 

 

 

Thursday for the pic was worth $8.1M. Latin American markets opened strong with the film ranking No. 1 for the region, topping the opening days of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny by 134%, Pacific Rim: Uprising by 94% and Godzilla: King of the Monsters by 51% as well as coming in roughly on par with The Meg.

The top plays to date are France with $2M in the first two days, followed by Mexico with $1.4M on Thursday at No. 1 and above Kong: Skull Island (+4%), Godzilla: King of the Monsters (+8%), Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (+29%), Rampage (+30%) and nearly triple the opening day of Indiana Jones 5. Germany at $1.1M was double the first day of the original and is 6% above Indy 5, 42% over Rise of the Beasts and 32% over the first day of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. Italy is tracking ahead of most comps including the original, Indy 5 and M:I7. Indonesia is next up with $537K while Netherlands debuted on Thursday with a strong 3D share of 54%. Opening day results are 19% above The Meg, 27% ahead of King of the Monsters, 49% over Mission 7 and 52% ahead of Jurassic World Dominion.

I thought Ben Wheatley was an inspired pick for such nonsense. Had faith it would be better than the first, which I enjoyed. This being worse than that is disappointing. He should go back to making small British indie flicks.
