FINAL UPDATE, WRITETHRU, Monday, 12:12 PM: We are only awaiting on The Nice Guys grosses from Bloom (the movie is in previews right now), but all other tallies are in. Sony’s international debut of The Angry Birds Movie took off this weekend with $43M in 74 markets. In 37 of those, it grabbed the No. 1 perch. It also scored a record May opening for an original animated film. The inaugural flight topped The Lego Movie by 20% in the same grouping of markets and at current exchange rates. All of this came after a savvy stunt on the eve of the Cannes Film Festival last week (see full breakdown below).

Meanwhile, Disney continues to tear it up at the international box office. Despite losing No. 1 status in some markets to the Birds, Captain America: Civil War grossed $86.1M in its 3rd offshore weekend (up about $2M from estimated) and in 55 territories. The overseas cume is now $647M and there’s $943.2M in the global war chest.

The spinning worldwide turnstiles on CACW have propelled the Marvel Cinematic Universe to the $10B mark from 13 films over nine years. The mash-up crossed both the $800M and $900M marks worldwide this frame, overtaking the global cumes of Spider-Man, Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice and Spider-Man 3. It is now the No. 6 highest grossing superhero movie of all time.

With $296M domestically and $647M internationally, it’s the No. 2 film of the year globally and the No. 1 film of the year internationally after 19 days of release. It had a 61% drop this frame from last, but differed according to the region. China pushed ahead to a running cume of $155.5M and Korea is at $59.9M. In Korea, it slipped to No. 2 this frame as Fox International Productions’ The Wailing set a new record opening for that studio with $16.8M in its debut. Angry Birds lands there next weekend.

Meanwhile, The Jungle Book, which passed $800M global on Friday, is now the No. 5 Disney live action movie ever and the No. 6 internationally. It added $15.7M in its 6th weekend of overseas release from 50 material markets, swinging the international total to $516.9M and the global cume to $828.6M. The hits keep coming. With Zootopia at $970.8M, Disney now has three of the top four films of the year globally with three consecutive releases grossing over $800M.

Breakdowns have been updated below. Today’s will be a slightly abridged report from the Cannes Film Festival.

THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE

Rovio Entertainment and Sony Pictures’ feature adaptation of the hugely popular mobile game franchise took flight in 74 markets this weekend — which is 63% of the offshore footprint. The film grossed a final $43M and was No. 1 in 37 of its launches.

That was after a stunt in Cannes on the eve of the currently up-and-running film festival which helped get international voice talent out in front of the media. Awareness of Angry Birds is extremely high around the world, driven by 3B downloads of the games, and the Riviera photo-op helped feather the film’s nest ahead of release.

In the same group of markets at current rates, The Angry Birds Movie outdistanced the launches of such animated titles as The Croods (+9%), SpongeBob SquarePants 2 (+11%), The Lego Movie (+20%), Rio (+14%), and How To Train Your Dragon (+45%). It was also roughly on par with Big Hero 6.

Sony is anticipating a long run for the pic based on strong critical reception and word of mouth. Saturday showed big increases over Friday. The top play was Russia with $5.7M, followed by the UK ($3.1M), Germany ($2.9M), Mexico ($2.8M) and Brazil ($2.7M).

The 3D animated comedy, which is voiced by Josh Gad, Jason Sudeikis, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Kate McKinnon, Tituss Burgess, Sean Penn, Bill Hader and others in the English version, is directed by Fergal Reilly and Clay Kaytis. The story is set on an island populated entirely by happy, flightless birds — or almost entirely. In this paradise, Red, a bird with a temper problem, speedy Chuck, and the volatile Bomb have always been outsiders. But when the island is visited by mysterious green piggies, it’s up to these outcasts to figure out what the pigs are up to.

Part of Sony’s marketing effort was to place an emphasis on how the birds are fully fleshed out characters and not just a one-dimensional jump from mobile screens. The positive message for families of a group unlikely heroes banding together to save the day was also highlighted. The movie partnered with the UN’s International Day of Happiness with Red being named an ambassador for the event.

The next release destinations are the U.S., China and Korea this week.

THE WAILING

From Fox International Productions, this mystery thriller broke the record for Fox’s biggest opening weekend of all time in Korea. With a $16.49M debut from 1,481 screens it has overtaken the studio’s The Martian and is the No. 8 launch of all time for a local pic. It’s also the No. 3 opening of the year in the market. Anticipation for The Wailing was at a high in Korea and the movie is expected to have strong legs going forward. This is part of a key drive in the for FIP.

Directed by Hong-jin Na, it topped the lifetime cume of his last film, Yellow Sea, which was also made by FIP. The story sees an old stranger appear in a peaceful rural village. As mysterious rumors begin to spread about him, the villagers drop dead one by one — grotesquely killing each other for inexplicable reasons. The Wailing is set to debut out of competition here in Cannes next week.
