6th &7th Update and writethru, 5 PM and 2:46 PM Monday with 5TH UPDATE, WRITETHRU, 5:27 PM PT Sunday: All studios have reported finals as of 5 PM. This weekend’s international actuals show a frame dominated by holdovers and expansions. And, for the first time since it released in mid-December, the No. 1 movie is not Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Rey, Finn, Poe and BB-8 are instead settling for No. 2 after a record-breaking run around the international galaxy these last 40 days. Taking their place, Oscar nominations leader The Revenant has clawed away the crown with a big $33.7M weekend, up 4.6% from last session for a global take of $223.6M. It crossed $100M in offshore play with $104.2M to date after three frames. The biggest market cume is the UK with nearly $17.6M, and Mexico was a bear-sized debut this session. See the breakdowns below for more.

Meanwhile, the 6th run for Disney/Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens put $24.2 in the Millennium Falcon’s overseas tank; a dip of about 50% from last weekend. This brings the offshore total to $1,061.7M.

Earlier this week, JJ Abrams’ space saga continuation crossed Jurassic World‘s international total ($1,016.7M) to become the No. 4 movie ever, behind Furious 7 at No. 3 with about $100M separating the two. With a domestic weekend of about $14.3M, the global total has risen to $1.94B, which maintains the No. 3 spot on the worldwide chart behind Titanic and Avatar. With $60M separating it from the $2B worldwide mark, the question now is whether TFA can leg out to become the 3rd movie ever to hit that milestone. If it continues losing around 50% global each of the coming weekends, the mid-weeks could round up the necessary, but it would be close with Kung Fu Panda 3, Deadpool and others on deck.

Kung Fu Panda 3 next weekend will head to the U.S. and China along with Korea and Russia. The Oriental DreamWorks co-production had special Saturday previews this weekend, grossing an unofficial $6.4M in the Middle Kingdom, and expectations are high for its performance when it opens wide on Friday. Other films expanding into key international markets next frame include Spotlight, along with the continued expansion of The Revenant, The 5th Wave, Creed and others.

Overall, this frame versus last saw a roughly 24% drop across the Top 10 titles released internationally. Compared to last year, the Top 3 titles were down about 26%. There were no new major studio entries, although Lionsgate’s Dirty Grandpa hit about 14 offshore markets for an estimated $2M, per Rentrak. Below is a look at the overall weekend in the international marketplace, followed by a snapshot of local-language play:

HOLDOVERS

THE REVENANT

Alejandro G Inarritu’s dark western has become the film to dethrone Star Wars: The Force Awakens at the international box office. With $33.7M in its 3rd frame, the offshore cume has now crossed $100M to hit $104.2M. The top opener was Inarritu’s home turf of Mexico with $5.1M from 2,033 screens. The bow surpassed Mad Max by 200% and The Martian by 205%. Fox reports many of the holdover markets retained the No. 1 position with minimal drops. In the UK, where it decreased only 20% in its 2nd week, the film added $5.6M taking the cume to $17.6M. In Italy, it was up by 36% from last weekend’s 2-day opening, and grossed $4.1M to lift the cume to $9M. Germany dropped just 22% to bring in $3.5M with a $15.19M cume; Korea was right behind with $3.2M and a cume of $10.4M. Australia‘s 3rd weekend brought in $1.6M for a $9.4M total. The new No. 1 plays included Denmark, Norway, Israel, Egypt and Portugal. In the latter, it’s the best Fox live-action title opening since 2011.

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS

While the UK remains The Force Awakens‘ best offshore play with $173.4M estimated through Sunday, China this week overtook Germany as the No. 2 ex-North America market. At $113.3M after 16 days of PROC play, it will wind down this week as the market preps for Kung Fu Panda 3 on Friday, followed by the Lunar New Year blackout in February.

Further down the chart, Germany is the No. 3 TFA market overseas at $103.7M, followed by France ($84.8M) and, notably, slow-burn Japan at $80.2M where The Force has now held the No. 1 spot for six consecutive weekends.

SPECTRE

James Bond spied another $786K this weekend from over 900 screens in 41 total markets for Sony and MGM. The international cume now stands at $678.3M.

LOCAL-LANGUAGE

Only one Chinese film made the Top 10 chart this week, the holdover of animated Boonie Bears III with $6M. That takes its cume to $31M after two weeks. The high end of the international roster has been slightly light on Middle Kingdom fare in the past couple frames, but that will change with the arrival of Kung Fu Panda 3 this week and the subsequent onslaught of Lunar New Year titles. Elsewhere, Italy‘s hit Quo Vado? has inched up on Avatar’s all-time record in the country with local reports on Sunday putting it at 61.64M euros through Saturday. That leaves it about 4M euros to go to take the crown. In Germany, Bibi & Tina – Mädchen Gegen Jungs (Girls Against Boys), led the pack. The kids comedy is the third in a series about a teenage witch and the adventures she gets up to with her best friend. Selling about 370K tickets, it’s the best start to the franchise. Korea‘s sentimental newcomer, A Melody To Remember, grossed about $3.3M through Sunday and was the No. 2 movie in the market behind The Revenant. The pic centers on a grieving platoon leader during the Korean War who forms a choir with a group of orphans.
