UPDATE, WRITETHRU, 11:54 PM and 12:54 PM PT, Tuesday: There were several moving parts to the international box office this weekend, with new entries and holdovers all jockeying for position — and new milestones in the mix. The widest newbie, Disney’s live action sequel, Alice Through The Looking Glass, slid down the rabbithole into 43 material offshore markets for a $62.7M debut (much down from the Sunday estimate of $65M). The result mirrors the opening of last year’s comp, Cinderella, in the same suite of markets and at today’s exchange rates. China was predictably the biggest overseas play with $26.6M, making it the second highest Disney Live Action opening (non-Marvel or Lucasfilm) ever in the Middle Kingdom, behind The Jungle Book.

The $62.7M start, however, falls below industry projections we were hearing ahead of the weekend which were closer to $80M and up. The film has an A- CinemaScore domestically, but has not hit with critics. There is also strong competition at offshore turnstiles this weekend with the sophomore frame of X-Men: Apocalypse also ringing up a far less final weekend gross of $53.2M (after an estimate of $55.3M on Sunday) for a new $183.4M international cume. XMA notably held No. 1 in Brazil and the UK, beating Alice‘s debut. The Angry Birds Movie nested in four new markets for a total of 87 and an estimated $29.6M (down from the $31.8M weekend that was estimated on Sunday) which catapults the cume to $157.2M.

Further complicating things for Alice this weekend was the strong arrival of Legendary and Universal Pictures’ Warcraft. Booting up in 20 territories, the adaptation of Blizzard Entertainment’s juggernaut video game franchise scored $31.77M. Fans rushed out to see it, notably in Russia where the weekend cume was an Orc-sized $10.4M. Alice, by comparison, grossed $4.6M in Russia this session; although that was still 56% better than Cindy last year. Warcraft dominated Alice in all markets where the two new entries were head-to-head.

While this is a disappointing start for the $170M budgeted Alice, Disney hardly seems in danger of losing its hat. The studio is due to pass the $4B mark at the global box office in the next couple of days, setting an industry speed record to the milestone. The trip there has been fueled by Captain America: Civil War ($1.106B), Zootopia ($993.7M), and The Jungle Book ($882.1M), which now rank as the top three films of 2016 globally. The latter just this weekend overtook Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice to earn its spot. In other bright news, Zootopia has hit $50M in Japan and is coming within hopping distance of the $1B global mark.

Breakdowns have been updated below with final grosses.

Anita Busch updated finals on Tuesday.

NEW

ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

With a $62.7M start in 43 material overseas markets, the sequel to 2010’s $1B+ WW grosser, Alice In Wonderland, came in below expectations which had placed the offshore debut closer to $80M+. That it would fall behind the original film is not a surprise. That movie was riding a huge 3D wave when it released in the wake of James Cameron’s Avatar, but this is nevertheless a disappointment. Looking Glass has been hobbled by poor critical response and word of mouth in a crowded frame. The release also coincided with news that Amber Heard had been granted a temporary restraining order against Alice star Johnny Depp. The couple is in the process of divorcing. It’s difficult to gauge the impact of those personal issues just yet, although it clearly isn’t a help given Depp is the title’s biggest marquee name.

The top play was China with $26.6M, followed by Mexico at $4.5M, Russia with $3.9M (down from a big $4.9M estimate on Sunday), Brazil at $4.1M and the UK at $3.1M. In the latter, a week’s holiday is just beginning.

Russia’s start was 56% ahead of Cinderella while Taiwan also came in 21% bigger. Mexico, where Alice was No. 1, topped Cindy by 5%. Brazil’s debut bested the starts of Maleficent, Alice In Wonderland, Cinderella and The Jungle Book. Argentina was also a No. 1, ahead of Cindy by 35%. IMAX play overseas was worth $6.65M (way up from Sunday estimate of $4.1M) for the three-day. Japan (July 1) and Korea (September 8) are still to open.

The hope in Europe is that Looking Glass is now positioned to play through the Euro Cup soccer tournament which kicks off on June 10 and generally boosts counterprogramming. Alice‘s global tally for the three-day weekend is $102.7M, setting the picture on course for around $400M worldwide.

WARCRAFT

Gamers and more rushed out to see the bigscreen adaptation of Blizzard Entertainment’s wildly popular franchise, dropping a multi-player-fueled $31.7M in the process. In 73 IMAX plays, the Duncan Jones-helmed pic grossed $1.84M over the weekend and $2.3M through Monday.

Russia was the most keen to convene with the denizens of Azeroth and their Orc friends and foes, launching the movie with $10.4M and 63% of the market. It’s the No. 2 opener there of 2016 (only behind Deadpool). Germany was also a No. 1 debut with $5.8M and a 42% share. With an opening day of $2.2M, Warcraft to mark the biggest opening day there this year. France played to a No. 1 $4.4M; Sweden’s No. 1 bow was $1.3M, making it Universal’s fourth-biggest opening weekend ever behind only Fifty Shades Of Grey, Jurassic World and Furious 7.

Warcraft‘s other No. 1s included Austria, Denmark (third-biggest opening of the year), Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Latvia, Lebanon, the Middle East, Norway, Pakistan, Slovenia, Switzerland, Thailand and the UAE. There are 45 more territories to open over the next two months, including Brazil, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK, among others, next frame.

HOLDOVERS/EXPANSIONS

X-MEN: APOCALYPSE

That gives the studio its third-biggest non-holiday opening weekend of all time there — it also has the No. 2 movie in Korea this week with Fox International Productions’ The Wailing.

XMA holds were strong with No. 1s in 19 markets. The mutants notably had the upper hand on Alice in Brazil where the Bryan Singer-helmed pic was No. 1 again with $4.5M ($12.8M cume). It also had top marks in the UK with $3.6M ($17.4M), and Australia ($2.2M/$8.2M). Other top cumes include Mexico at $14.4M; France with $10.3M; and the Philippines with $7.5M.

Poland delivered $1.4M (including previews) from 284 screens and has Angry Birds on a flight path to do twice the opening weekend business of Kung Fu Panda 3.

Germany, where the other game adaptation in international play, Warcraft, had a strong start, it grossed another $1.25M to lift the Birds by 4% for a total $8.5M. That overtakes the lifetime of Kung Fu Panda 3 by 20%. Upcoming releases include Italy on June 15 and Japan on October 1. Think it will help play that Madonna today posted to her 7.1M Instagram followers using the movie’s MSQRD mask?

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
