The studio cume is $144.3M and the overall total thus far is $192.2M, and the shoot-em-up is expected to cross $200M this week. Of that, Universal’s portion is $23.8M at 4,889 dates in 50 territories. Lucy has jumped back to the top spot internationally with an added total of $25.5M in Universal and EuropaCorp territories combined. There were no major studio films making their first offshore foray this week. Russia’s cume is $7.4M and Spain’s 24-day total is $4M. UPDATE, Monday: Expendables bowed Thursday at No. Elsewhere, Universal has the Patrick Hughes-helmed movie in Italy, Russia and Spain, where it added an estimated $2.1M at 966 dates this frame.
That’s still well shy of the 2nd film’s eventual $305M gross and Japan is the only market remaining to bow. The international weekend estimate is $17M for an overseas cume of $88M and a worldwide take of $124.7M. The last Exp3 installment opened to $13.77M and ultimately grossed a little over $53M in the Middle Kingdom. We are expecting updated China figures a bit later. 2, behind holdover Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. The film opened in China earlier this week and Rentrak is estimating an $11.5M weekend for a $33M cume since Sept 1. PREVIOUS, Sunday, 12:38 PM PT: International weekend estimates are now all in with the notable reappearance of the Expendables 3 crew near the top of the charts. See below the earlier post for more on what’s happening in this week’s select markets of Korea, China and Spain. Guardians Of The Galaxy, currently with a worldwide cume of $586.17M, opens in Japan on the 13th… and China is still to come. The Maze Runner will also start its rollout, and Cannes darling Pride hits the UK. Next week will see the China bows of Into The Storm, Divergent and Lucy, as well as the international debuts of Laika’s much-trailered The Boxtrolls in the UK and Mexico among other territories.
China, after an unofficial blackout period for part of the summer, continues to deliver with Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes at $72M after two frames, and a with bit of extra cash for Exp3 (although even final estimates are still not available there). It’s been a somewhat hazy, lazy end to summer overseas for Hollywood, although Lucy (a French production released in most markets by Universal) continues to fire up strong openings – Russia is next week – and Hercules showed muscle this frame, notably in Brazil.
