SATURDAY UPDATE:<\/strong> Universal\/Amblin Entertainment\u2019s Jurassic World Dominion<\/em> is storming to a projected $386M<\/strong> worldwide cume through Sunday. In its second offshore frame, it added 57 new markets, after releasing early in 15 last session. The international box office cume through Friday is $135M including the new hubs and the holdovers. Through Sunday, it\u2019s estimated to land a full overseas weekend of $175M<\/strong>, lifting the running offshore total to $244M<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the same suite of new international markets this session, and at today\u2019s rates, 2015\u2019s Jurassic World<\/em> opened to $226M ($187M excluding previews) while 2028\u2019s Fallen Kingdom<\/em> bowed to $227M ($212M excluding previews).<\/p>\n

Even though JWD<\/em> is coming in lower than those movies, it is ahead of pre-weekend projections, notably with strong play in China<\/strong> where it\u2019s on track to hit $50M+ through tomorrow. This will instantly make the Colin Trevorrow-directed threequel the No. 1 Hollywood release of 2022 there, overtaking Universal\u2019s own The Bad Guys<\/em>. <\/p>\n

There are currently about 80% of cinemas open in China \u2014 all of Shanghai remains closed, and some of Beijing. Critical and social scores are lower versus the previous movies (8.1 on Maoyan and 6.5 on Douban), but the market has been starved for major action tentpoles. The opening day Friday ($14.9M\/99.8M RMB) was by far the\u00a0biggest launch for an imported title in 2022, and the\u00a03rd\u00a0highest since the beginning of the pandemic. Saturday grossed an estimated $21.2M (142M RMB), landing the\u00a0highest single-day performance by an imported film this year. It is also the first time that any film has grossed over 100M RMB on a single day since Feb 14, during the Chinese New Year holidays. <\/p>\n

FRIDAY UPDATE:<\/strong> Universal\/Amblin Entertainment\u2019s Jurassic World Dominion<\/em> is putting its dino-print out in an additional 57 overseas markets this weekend after stomping into 15 early hubs last session. Through Thursday, the Colin Trevorrow-directed threequel has grossed $95.1M<\/strong> at the international box office. When including Friday\u2019s China<\/strong> start, that rises to $110.4M.<\/p>\n

China, as we noted in this week\u2019s global preview, is a key swing this session. The market has been hobbled in the past several months by Covid lockdowns and restrictions that slowly have started to ease.<\/p>\n

The Friday debut of JWD<\/em> in the PRC, a market that has embraced the previous pics, was on 60,000 screens and grossed 89M RMB ($14.6M) for a total of 103.83M RMB ($15.3M) including Thursday previews. That\u2019s slightly below the opening day for 2015\u2019s Jurassic World<\/em>\u00a0(109.7M RMB). JWD<\/em> dominated the market with 90% of total box office and contributed to the first time that China has grossed over 100M RMB on a single day since February. JWD<\/em> is also by far the biggest opening for an imported title in 2022, and the third-biggest since the beginning of the pandemic, only beaten by last year\u2019s Fast 9<\/em>\u00a0(378.7M RMB) and\u00a0Godzilla Vs Kong<\/em>\u00a0(137M RMB), both of which released in less impaired market times.<\/p>\n

There are about 75% of cinemas open in the country, with capacity restrictions in place. All moviehouses are still shuttered in Shanghai, and Beijing is only partially open \u2014 with a number of leading theaters in the capital having been ordered to close again since Thursday.<\/p>\n

In total, the reteam of Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard \u2014 which also sees the return of legacy cast members Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum \u2014 will be in 72 overseas markets through Friday. The UK notably bows today across 700 locations and 2,250 screens.<\/p>\n

Major holdovers include Mexico<\/strong> (at $23.2M through Thursday) and Korea<\/strong> ($19.M).<\/p>\n

In other new openers during the week, France<\/strong> led with the biggest launch day of 2022 at 338K admissions, including previews to edge Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness<\/em> (335K admissions). The France gross through Thursday is $3.7M.<\/p>\n

Germany<\/strong> started on Wednesday and is now at $2.2M through Thursday. Spain<\/strong> had the biggest Thursday opening for any film this year with $952K \u2014 almost three times Top Gun: Maverick<\/em>, and with 82% market share.<\/p>\n

Malaysia<\/strong> bowed to $613K from a half-day of previews on Wednesday, achieving the third-biggest single preview day ever for Universal (behind Fast 8<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Hobbs & Shaw<\/em>). It continued with $967K on Thursday for a running total of $1.6M. This marks the second-biggest opening day of 2022 (behind Doctor Strange 2<\/em>) and the fourth-biggest Universal opening of all time (behind Fast 7, Fast 8<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Jurassic World<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a breakdown of further markets: Middle East<\/strong> opened to $1.5M combined; Indonesia<\/strong> is now at $1.4M. Taiwan<\/strong>\u00a0added $708K in previews on Wednesday, taking 70% of the market share across 424 screens. The result was almost double the Wednesday previews for\u00a0Top Gun: Maverick<\/em>\u00a0and almost 3x Thursday previews for\u00a0No Time To Die<\/em>.\u00a0Cume is $1.2M through Thursday.
\u00a0
Singapore<\/strong>\u00a0slinged to the biggest Universal Wednesday previews of all time and the best of the franchise with $313K. The Netherlands<\/strong>, which began previews last week, has banked $1.8M to-date.<\/p>\n
