The Sony Pictures release, which carries a hefty $90 million
budget, has earned $62.5 million worldwide over its opening weekend. The studio
says that those results indicate the film in on pace to match hits such as
“Murder on the Orient Express” and “Kingsman: The Secret Service.” Pitt’s
latest effort was available in 73% of the international market or more than
15,900 screens. It was the top-grossing global release of the weekend.
“Bullet Train,” a star-studded film about battling
assassins, performed best in the U.K., where it had a 5-day total of $3.5
million, followed by France with $3.1 million and Mexico with $3 million. In
addition to Pitt, “Bullet Train” stars Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian
Tyree Henry, Sandra Bullock and Bad Bunny.
Also of note, Disney and Marvel’s “Thor: Love and Thunder”
neared the $700 million mark after earning $11.1 million internationally. The
global total for the superhero sequel hovers at $699 million. “Minions: The
Rise of Gru” continued to be a strong performer. The Universal and Illumination
family film added $15.9 million to its tally, bringing its global gross to a
mighty $757.9 million.
“DC League Of Super-Pets,” a Warner Bros. animated effort,
netted $11.4 million from 67 markets to push its global haul to $83.4 million.
Then there’s Paramount’s “Top Gun: Maverick.” The action
sequel is a box office phenomenon that is still going strong months after
opening. It pulled in another $10.3 million in its eleventh weekend of release.
That brings its total to $690 million internationally and a massive $1.3
billion globally.
