Puss in Boots: The Last Wish has scurried past the 400-million-dollar mark at the global box office.
Universal/DreamWorks Animation’s Puss in Boots: The Last
Wish had a happy Valentine’s Day, swashbuckling to a new global milestone. The
spinoff sequel crossed $400M with Tuesday’s numbers bringing the worldwide
kitty to $401.5M. The split is $160.1M domestic and $241.4M at the
international box office.
The Oscar nominated pic from directors Joel Crawford and
Januel Mercado remains the No. 3 biggest studio animated film since the start
of the pandemic and has topped the overseas cume of Black Adam to become the
11th highest-grossing studio title of 2022 internationally. Globally, it’s at
No. 12.
This weekend, it’s estimated Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
will surpass Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, Sonic The Hedgehog 2
and Uncharted to become the No. 9 biggest studio release of 2022 worldwide.
The Antonio Banderas/Salma Hayek sequel went out early
overseas and built with great word of mouth and soft drops. It recently opened
in the UK and through two frames has grossed $13.8M. The top market is Mexico
at $23.9M, followed by France ($20.3M), Germany ($16.2M), Brazil ($15.4M) and
Australia ($14M). Japan is still to come on March 17.
As we noted when Puss 2 crossed $300M back in January,
Universal has delivered five of the six biggest studio animated titles during
the pandemic era worldwide. Tops for Uni is Minions: The Rise of Gru ($942M)
which is followed by Sing 2 ($413M), Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, The Bad Guys
($252M) and The Croods: A New Age ($227M).
