Frank Moran @HappyGoJackie Kari Lane @KariDLane Amy Cassandra @AmyCassandraTV INTERNATIONAL NUMBERS Fox got Alita: Battle Angel out early and strongly in Asia with $32M while Warner Bros began offshore rollout on The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, for $18.1M. Fox took advantage of the Chinese New Year to push Alita into South East Asia. This one doesn’t open in North America until next weekend, and so far reviews on the James Cameron- produced pic are mixed. But the play here is international, particularly Asia given the manga source material. Fox is happy with the results which are from just 11 markets, especially in Korea where the film came in at No. 2 amid strong local competition. Overall, Alita is outpacing Maze Runner (+23%) and Ready Player One (+5%) in like for like markets and at today’s rates. Lego blocked together $18.1M in 63 markets, including majors the UK, Brazil and Spain. Somewhat surprisingly, Lego is not as well-known a brand overseas, but has certainly lifted its profile through the four movies WB has released in the past few years. Fox also hit a new milestone in Japan this weekend as Bohemian Rhapsody crossed $100M. This is the first of the studio’s titles to hit the mark since Avatar and the first foreign pic since 2017’s Beauty And The Beast. Bo Rhap is up for seven BAFTAs here in London tonight and star Rami Malek has been putting in appearances at pre-ceremony soirées around town this weekend. In other milestones, Sony’s Escape Room topped $100M overseas. Universal/DreamWorks Animation’s How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World was the overall leader at the international box office — not counting the China movies. The weekend was good for $38.2M to lift the overseas cume to $138.7. Also, Aquaman got his fins wet in Japan, the final market for the Warner Bros/DC hero. With $6M, it opened No. 1 to cume $792M offshore. The global tally is $1.12B.
