There were two major new entries this weekend at the international box office, one local (Tamil thriller Leo: Bloody Sweet) and one from Hollywood. Starting with the latter, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon from Apple, Paramount and Imperative Entertainment, had a big opening with $21M in 63 offshore markets and No. 1s in 24 of those, including France, Germany, Australia, Spain, Netherlands and Switzerland. The global bow, factoring in its strong domestic opening, was $44M; great for a period movie with a long running time and at a moment when talent could not promote it due to the actors strike.
The top opening markets were the UK with $3M at 701 cinemas, the widest release for a Scorsese film. France grossed $2.6M across 528 locations, Germany did $1.6M at 420, Australia brought in $1.4M from 314 and Spain was good for $1.3M at 371.
In IMAX, the take was $5.1M global including $1.75M overseas with many markets performing well above their typical percentage of national totals.
