‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ Powers Past $200M Offshore & $300M Global In First 7 Days – Deadline
UPDATE, writethru: As its trajectory continues to swing higher, Sony/Marvel’s Spider-Man: Far From Home has grossed $218.5M from the international box office through Thursday. Along with this week’s firecracker domestic debut, the global running total is now $310M, getting there in just seven days and as the film is on its way to around $575M worldwide through Sunday.
The Jon Watts-directed sequel got going early in China, Japan and Hong Kong last weekend. As it enters the second frame, each of those remain in the Top 5 grossing hubs so far, while Korea, the UK, France, Russia, Germany, Mexico and Brazil, among others, have come into the web during the week. Tracking is significantly above Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Through Thursday, China leads all play at $136.8M. Not included is the Friday estimate which lifts the local cume to $144.7M. The film will surpass Captain Marvel this weekend in the Middle Kingdom, although it is facing competition from local opener The White Storm 2. That’s the first local title to gain any traction in what has been a dismal few weeks for Chinese movies as at least three potential hits were abruptly pulled from schedules.
The Top 5 through yesterday is rounded out by Japan ($12.9M), Korea ($12M — Korea’s Friday estimate brings it up to $16.8M), the UK ($7.2M) and Hong Kong ($6.6M).
In the mid-week, South East Asia opened 46% ahead of Spider-Man: Homecoming with Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand making $5.2M in their debuts. The cume across those markets is $9.2M through Thursday.
Taiwan notably debuted on Wednesday to $1.25M, 41% over Homecoming and scoring the second highest total for a standalone superhero. The cume through Thursday is $2.1M.
India opened to $1.8M which is the top launch day for a non-holiday Thursday and 33% ahead of Homecoming.
France’s Wednesday debut of $2.5M ($3.7M cume through Thursday) is 37% over Homecoming and Germany’s $1M Thursday ($1.7M cume including previews) is 27% ahead of the previous picture.
Russia launched to $2.8M, 30% ahead of SMH; the UAE topped it by 33% with $1.1M on opening day.
In Latin America, Mexico and Brazil snared the best July opening days ever with $3M (+30% on SMH) and $2.2M (+21%) respectively.
