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.
