Of that, international is $82.1M so far from 51 markets while North America has delivered $32.5M through yesterday, plus previews. The David Frankel directed sequel is No. 1 in nearly all global markets except for Netherlands, South Africa, Bolivia and Ecuador.
Per Disney, the sequel posted the highest opening day YTD in Brazil, Italy, Japan (non-local), Korea and Australia as well as Belgium, Bulgaria, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Greece, Ukraine, Poland, Turkey, New Zealand, Taiwan and the Philippines.
We told you yesterday that Lionsgate’s Michael became the second-highest grossing musical biopic of all-time at $300M, surpassing Elvis and behind Bohemian Rhapsody ($911M). By the end of this weekend though it will boogey higher with a running foreign cume of $232.5M through Sunday plus another $180.8M from North American for a grand running worldwide cume of $413.3M. Universal, as we told you, is releasing the biopic overseas sans Japan which gets released later by Kino and Lionsgate.
