Still, Sony anticipates the film will hold up well given its playability so far in overseas holdover markets.
“It’s just been stunning results across-the-board worldwide. We had only one day in China, and it’s been a huge one (estimated at $10.4 million),” said Sony worldwide distribution topper Rory Bruer. “It’s all going to add up nicely.”
Domestically, the sequel saw an uptick on the West Coast, Bruer said, especially with Hispanic auds. The film also drew a sizable 43% from 3D, of which 9.3% came from Imax (the circuit had 16 of the pic’s top 20 locations) and an additional 7% from other premium large-format locations.
In limited Stateside release, Fox Searchlight bowed its racially themed period drama “Belle” at four locations, where the film averaged a solid $26,123 per screen. Pic totaled an estimated $104,493 through Sunday.
