Borobudur Posted December 25, 2023 Posted December 25, 2023 Wonka is one of the best suit movie for holiday. I am quite certain that all the good will built from pre-Christmas will peak from now to New Year. The overseas grosses have been the most impressive part for Wonka. It beats the Johnny deep version in 2005 easily when JD when at his popularity peak. This caught me by surprise because I always thought willy wonka is more American pop culture. Quote
Purple Minion Posted December 26, 2023 Posted December 26, 2023 $16.3M total in Mexico after a good Monday. Quote
MovieMagic Posted December 30, 2023 Posted December 30, 2023 In his latest article, Scott Mendelson says the global total is at $346 million as of now. Has this been sourced anywhere else? Quote
Borobudur Posted December 31, 2023 Posted December 31, 2023 Quote Warner Bros/Village Roadshow/Heyday Films’ Wonka had a sweet weekend with an estimated $39.1M in 77 overseas markets for a jump of 17% from last session. The offshore cume is now $244.4M with global at $386.9M (which includes domestic’s Monday estimate). Increases were seen in France (+92%), Netherlands (+60%), Germany (+40%), Italy (+29%), Argentina (+29%), Mexico (+20%), Australia (+12%) and Spain (+8%). Additional strong holds were seen in the UK (-8%), Brazil (-9%) and Japan (-15%). Quote The Top 5 markets are the UK ($55.3M), Mexico ($19.7M), France ($16.2M), Germany ($14.9M) and Australia ($13.9M). In Imax, Wonka’s global total is $14.5M. Korea is the last market to release and is set to debut on January 31. Quote

Avatar 2 legs would get wonka to 640+ since avatar got a very strong post new year 4th weekend hold across western hemisphere. So anything borderline 600m is my guess since there is one last major market up for release for wonka in South Korea. Quote

Sure but January & February are practically empty and Wonka seems to be the clear choice for most people in terms of what to watch. I also don't think Wonka is nearly as frontloaded as NWH or Avatar 2 Quote

Also, wonka may not as frontloaded as NWH but actually is pretty on par or weaker in many territories in Asia as compared to avatar 2. Quote
Purple Minion Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Deadline: Wonka added $28.9M, also in 77 overseas markets. The drop was a terrific 27% and holds are strong including in Netherlands (+6%), Brazil (-16%), France (-17%), Spain (-17%), Italy (-22%), Mexico (-26%), Australia (-26%), Germany (-32%), and Japan (-33%). The international cume to date is $301.2M with global at $465.8M, well on the way to $500M+ in the coming weeks. IMAX reps $16.1M worldwide. Korea, which has a fondness for Hollywood musicals, is the final market to release and is dated on January 31. The Top 5 markets so far are the UK ($67.2M), France ($22.7M), Germany ($18.6M), Australia ($18.1M) and Netherlands ($10.9M) --- note: they forgot Mexico, which should be close or above France. 1 Quote
titanic2187 Posted January 14 Posted January 14 If wouldn’t for SK still on its way, I will start my doubt if this can pass 600m. Anyway, the holds post-holiday hasn’t been good. Probably the holiday feel good tone means there is no more hook for people to seek out the movie after the holiday. Quote
MovieMagic Posted January 14 Posted January 14 I’m curious why the tone around this film’s performance is so negative on here? Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think $500 million world wide was being predicted for it a few months ago, so anything beyond that is stellar to me. Am I missing something? Quote
nguyenkhoi282 Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Should land right around 600M. 200M DOM + 400M OS (give or take some on both sides). Quote
