UPDATE, WRITETHRU: New Line/Warner Bros’ Annabelle: Creation came to life at the international box office this weekend with $35M in her first wide frame. The prequel spinoff was the major expanded title in overseas markets, while pictures like Spider-Man: Homecoming, Dunkirk, Valerian and more passed new milestones. Nevertheless, offshore play continues to be dominated by China‘s action phenom, Wolf Warrior 2.
The Wu Jing-helmed title saw a roughly 50% drop in the 3rd frame as it whistled to an estimated cume of $682.5M in the Middle Kingdom. That’s after 18 days in release and makes it the No. 3 movie internationally this year. It’s also No. 3 on the list of all-time biggest grossers in a single market.
Having passed The Dark Knight, The Avengers, Jurassic World and Titanic this session, it sits behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936.7M) and Avatar ($760.5M). All films outside WW2 achieved their milestones in North America, and all figures are historical.
There is every reason to believe WW2 will knock the Na’vi off their No. 2 perch as daily grosses in the midweeks were around $30M on average. This weekend, per research firm Ent Group, the estimate is $83M, a 50% drop from last frame which itself was up 30% on the debut session. The Rambo-esque pic is due to run into September.
