International Box Office: One Last Shot at the Box Office

March 18, 2020

Bloodshot

The COVID-19 outbreak has been causing major closures of theater chains both domestically and internationally, which means this could be the last meaningful box office report for weeks, if not months. Bloodshot led the way with $12.47 million on 10,443 screens in 59 markets for an early international total of $14.59 million. The film is playing in most major markets, but it only cracked $1 million in three of them, led by Russia at $2.47 million on 1,665. Indonesia isn’t considered a major market, but the film earned $1.72 million on 868 screens there. The film topped the charts in both of those markets, but had to settle for second place in Mexico with $1.13 million on 1,510 screens in that market.

Onward slid to second place with $6.8 million in 47 markets for totals of $41.4 million internationally and $101.7 million worldwide. The film had no new markets this past weekend and I doubt it will open anywhere new any time soon. In fact, I’ve heard word of films like this going to Disney+ shortly. I think that would be a wise move.

Speaking of streaming services, Universal announced all of its films currently in theaters will hit streaming services shortly. This includes the third place film on this weekend’s international chart, The Invisible Man. This film earned $5.8 million in 53 markets for totals of $58.0 million internationally and $122.4 million worldwide. It too had no new markets last weekend.

Sonic The Hedgehog landed in fourth place with $2.9 million in 58 markets for totals of $160.7 million internationally and $306.5 million worldwide. This could be the last major box office hit in months. It depends on how long the COVID-19 outbreak lasts and how fast the world can recover when its over.

The Gentlemen rounded out the top five with just $1.8 million in 71 markets for totals of $78.7 million internationally and $115.0 million worldwide.
