MONDAY UPDATE, writethru after Sunday 10:08AM post: Warner Bros/DC’s Wonder Woman 1984 in 32 international box office markets this weekend has opened to an estimated $38.5M from 30,221 screens. This is well below the $60M the industry was expecting ahead of the launch, and is largely down to a soft China debut of $18.8M in what was a slow Middle Kingdom moviegoing weekend overall. There were also sudden market closures over the past several days overseas which did not help. In IMAX, the Gal Gadot-starrer grossed $5M from 31 markets. Of that, $3.8M came from 680 screens in China. IMAX is also citing standout performances in Japan, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand, UAE and Ukraine. Overall behind China, the best opening markets were Taiwan with $3.6M on 296 screens, Thailand ($2M/602), Brazil ($1.7M/1,812), Japan ($1.6M/736), Mexico ($1.6M/2,969), Singapore ($1.3M/132), UK ($.2M/615), Spain ($1.1M/813), UAE ($1M/200), Saudi Arabia ($1M/150) and Vietnam ($832K/660). … [Read more...] about ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ Lassos $38.5M In Offshore Debut As China Cuffs Expectations; Japan’s ‘Demon Slayer’ Closing In On ‘Spirited Away’ – International Box Office

FINAL UPDATE : Spectre led the international frame for a third weekend in a row, boosted by a fantastic start in China . That $48.1M gross set records for a 2D film and far outpaced Skyfall ‘s Middle Kingdom debut. Because the Chinese government controls so many variables including release dates and keeps 75% of ticket sales, there is a perception that studios are helpless and can only hope for the best. That’s not really true. In fact, Spectre ‘s record-breaking performance is directly attributable to an aggressive campaign by Sony to market the film in the territory. It is not an accident how strongly Spectre finished its opening weekend, even though the series has traditionally underperformed in the world’s No. 2 market, where Skyfall finished with a China gross of $59M.

McCain played a video clip of Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, being noncommittal about whether or not it is safe for those who’ve been vaccinated to gather with those who have not. Fauci told CNN that federal health officials, as a unit, set such guidelines. “I don’t want to be making a recommendation now on public TV. We want to sit down with the team and take a look at that,” Fauci said. A “frustrated” McCain then went in on the doctor, rattling off complaints about “terribly inconsistent messaging,” saying that Fauci can’t tell her when or if she can get a vaccine. “The fact that Dr. Fauci is going on CNN and he can’t tell me that … [Read more...] about Meghan McCain Wants Fauci Replaced With ‘Someone Who Understands Science’
