INTERNATIONAL NUMBERS
Fox got Alita: Battle Angel out early and strongly in Asia
with $32M while Warner Bros began offshore rollout on The
Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, for $18.1M.
Fox took advantage of the Chinese New Year to push Alita into
South East Asia. This one doesn’t open in North America until

next weekend, and so far reviews on the James Cameron-
produced pic are mixed. But the play here is international,

particularly Asia given the manga source material. Fox is
happy with the results which are from just 11 markets,
especially in Korea where the film came in at No. 2 amid
strong local competition. Overall, Alita is outpacing Maze
Runner (+23%) and Ready Player One (+5%) in like for like
markets and at today’s rates.
Lego blocked together $18.1M in 63 markets, including majors
the UK, Brazil and Spain. Somewhat surprisingly, Lego is not

as well-known a brand overseas, but has certainly lifted its
profile through the four movies WB has released in the past
few years.
Fox also hit a new milestone in Japan this weekend
as Bohemian Rhapsody crossed $100M. This is the first of the
studio’s titles to hit the mark since Avatar and the first foreign
pic since 2017’s Beauty And The Beast. Bo Rhap is up for seven
BAFTAs here in London tonight and star Rami Malek has been
putting in appearances at pre-ceremony soirées around town
this weekend. In other milestones, Sony’s Escape
Room topped $100M overseas.
Universal/DreamWorks Animation’s How To Train Your
Dragon: The Hidden World was the overall leader at the
international box office — not counting the China movies. The
weekend was good for $38.2M to lift the overseas cume
to $138.7. Also, Aquaman got his fins wet in Japan, the final
market for the Warner Bros/DC hero. With $6M, it opened
No. 1 to cume $792M offshore. The global tally is $1.12B.

INTERNATIONAL NUMBERS
Expanding to a handful of key markets this weekend,
Universal/DreamWorks Animation’s How To Train Your
Dragon: The Hidden World swooped into the top spot on
the international box office chart with a $40.2Mframe. This
lifts the overseas running total to $84.4M from 41 markets so
far in release. Universal took a long lead on Dragon
3 offshore, going out in Australia just after the New Year to
take advantage of the peak summer holiday season there
Bowing in 23 international markets this session, the Dean
DeBlois-directed HTTYD3was No. 1 in 20 of those new homes.
It played like a fury in Mexico with $7.7M at 865 locations for
the biggest launch weekend ever of a DWA title. The UK
bowed to $6.8M at No. 1 and ahead of both prior installments.
Italy is also tracking well ahead of those two movies while
Brazil’s hold was a terrific -27% at No. 1 for $10.3M after three
frames. Oz leads all play at $15.5M.

Last week’s offshore leader, M Night Shyamalan’s Glass —
which Disney is releasing abroad — dipped 49% in the 3rd
session. It added $12.2M in 54 markets for an overseas cume
of $110.3M, still running marginally below the previous
Eastrail 177 trilogy entry, Split. The worldwide total will pass
$200M once today’s actuals are finalized, or with tomorrow’s
numbers.
Behind Glass, five-time Oscar nominee Green Book, which is
going out internationally via a mix of Lionsgate and Amblin
Partners, had a combined $11.9Mweekend for a $25.5M cume
to date.
China has helped push Fox’s Deadpool 2 ahead of the
original Deadpool’s worldwide gross.
With $784Mglobal, DP2 is now the highest-grossing film in
the X-Men franchise.
It’s also worth highlighting the China performance of
Sony’s Escape Roomwhere the reported $9M budget pic has
now grossed $33.5M after three weekends. The week-to-week
drop was just 17%. While there hasn’t been much new blood
ahead of the February 5 holiday, the performance is notable in
that few mystery-thrillers like this see the inside of movie
theaters in China. That has raised curiosity along with a
cultural resonance given the popularity of escape rooms in the
big cities.
In milestones, Warner Bros’ Aquaman has topped $1.1B global
($783.4M international) and opens in Japan on Friday. Also
from WB, Creed II topped $200M global this round while
Disney’s Ralph Breaks The Internet has now surpassed the
original Wreck-It Ralph both domestically and internationally

as it closes in on $500M global.
