Cinemas worldwide have calmed down, which worked in favor of Taylor Swift. Her concert film, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” ended the dominance of Chinese titles in our rankings, winning without significant issues.
Similar to the American box office, AMC did not provide a specific amount, but rather a range in which “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” opened. According to the cinema network, the concert film grossed 31-33 million dollars. Globally, this results in a range of 126-130 million dollars.
“Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” dominated ticket sales in cinemas in the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Mexico, and the Philippines. The film’s performance for the week ahead should not be much worse, as it will be released in more countries, including Brazil and South Korea.
Meanwhile, “Paw Patrol: The Great Movie” is slowly gaining momentum. The animation reached another 11 countries and achieved its best weekend result, 21.2 million dollars. Foreign revenues have thus increased to 76.5 million dollars, and global revenues to 126.4 million.
“Paw Patrol: The Great Movie” had its best start in France, where it collected 4.5 million dollars in five days. The opening in the United Kingdom was 4.2 million dollars, in Poland – 2.4 million (first place in the local box office), and in Spain 1.9 million.
The leader of the previous two rankings in our list, “Jian Ru Pan Shi” (Under the Light), dropped to third place. Its weekend earnings were 14.2 million dollars, totaling 173.6 million dollars.
From third place to fourth, the horror film “The Exorcist: Confession” dropped. However, its revenues remained virtually unchanged due to the film’s release in another 15 countries. Weekend earnings are estimated at 13.7 million dollars. The horror film performed best in France (1.7 million dollars) and Brazil (1.5 million). “The Exorcist: Confession” has earned 40 million dollars outside the USA.
The next three places belong to Chinese productions. The fifth spot is occupied by the historical propaganda spectacle “Zhi Yuan Jun: Xiong Bing Chu Ji” (The Volunteers: To the War) with a result of 9.9 million dollars (almost identical to the previous week).
