TUESDAY UPDATE, WRITETHRU with actuals: Disney/Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 took root in three more key offshore markets for the sophomore session, rocking out with a bigger-than-projected $126.1M in 55 total (vs $123.8M in the Sunday estimates). This lifts the intergalactic pack to $285M at the international box office and $431.5M globally through Sunday.

Among the major new plays this frame were China, Korea and Russia. In the Middle Kingdom, Peter Quill and pals scored a higher $49.3M launch (+$1.3M on Sunday’s estimate) that tops the original film by 75%+ for the 4th best Marvel Cinematic Universe debut ever in the market. Word of mouth is very strong on the James Gunn-helmed pic which has an 8.4 rating on Douban.

GOTG2 in Korea, meanwhile, has already outgrossed the lifetime of the first GOTG movie, and Russia landed the 3rd best start for an MCU title.

As it heads to $300M international and $500M worldwide in the next few days, GOTG2 has the added distinction of pushing the MCU over $11B. That covers combined global grosses from 15 films since 2008. The GOTG2 knock-on, plus the gorgeous Beauty And The Beast — which is closing in on $700M overseas thanks in part to a $60.7M perf in Japan — further has The Walt Disney Studios crossing $2B this weekend.

Elsewhere, Universal’s The Fate Of The Furious has raced past $950M on the offshore track, lifting to $955M and bringing the global cume to $1.162B to push the entire franchise past $5B and become Universal’s 3rd highest grossing film worldwide behind Jurassic World ($1.67B) and Furious 7 ($1.52B). Japan is also high on the high-octane actioner with $22.5M after 10 days to outpace all other Fast & Furious movies.

Also from Universal (and Blumhouse), Jordan Peele’s Get Out has crossed $200M worldwide. And, Indian pic Baahubali 2: The Conclusion continued its mega-play with an estimated $43.9M for $168.4M through Monday worldwide. It has become the first Indian movie ever to cross the local currency threshold of 1000 crore with 1120.

There were no major wide studio releases this frame — Alien: Covenant is next on deck beginning Wednesday in France.

Breakdowns on the above and other films have been updated below.

HOLDOVERS/EXPANSIONS

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

Disney

Adding $126.1M internationally, Disney/Marvel’s latest has reached $285M at the offshore box office, with $431.5M worldwide. The major openers this frame were China, Korea and Russia to bring the full count to 55 material markets hosting Chris Pratt and the gang.

China opened at No. 1 with $49.3M and a strong 61% market share. This is the 4th highest MCU opening to date and is 75%+ ahead of Guardians Of The Galaxy, 42% ahead of Captain America: The Winter Soldier and 152% above Thor: Dark World. Word of mouth is strong, despite there having been no red carpet event locally. Pratt engaged with his Weibo followers, however, debuting the local poster when the release date was made official. There are some local pics on deck, plus Power Rangers and King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword debuting next frame.

Korea was also No. 1 with $13.3M, making it the 2nd highest opening weekend of 2017. The launch already outstrips the total run of GOTG1.

Russia was No. 1, too, with $11.6M and a very strong 84% market share. That’s the 3rd best MCU launch and is 45% above GOTG1 and 8% ahead of Captain America: Civil War.

The international gross is now $30.9M. France, where there has been a fair amount of real-life suspense over the presidential election, was tops among new openers. Get Out hit $2.5M in the hexagon, playing particularly well in Paris and the suburbs where it’s outperforming Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 in its 2nd session. It also has the best per-screen average in the market.
