International Box Office: Bloodshot Wins by Default
March 25, 2020
Sony was the only major studio to release international numbers, so I guess Bloodshot wins the weekend chart by default. That said, it also won last weekend, so it probably was the actual winner this weekend. According to Sony’s numbers, it earned $1.41 million on 3,795 screens in 60 markets for a two-week total of $18.41 million. This includes a $31,842 debut on 65 screens in Nigeria. Its largest market was Russia, where it was down 78% to $549,000 on 1,665 screens over the weekend for a two-week total of $3.55 million. It is not surprising that Russia had one of the best holds for the film, as the country was slow to realize the extent of Covid-19. Singapore also held on well down 53% to $119,000 on 65 screens over the weekend for a two week total of $454,000. Singapore was able to hold on this well, because the country has been extremely proactive in combating the Covid-19 outbreak, so they have successfully flattened the curve. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, they are a city-state and I don’t think their methods could be emulated by other nations easily.
There are some signs that the international box office could begin to rebound in some parts of the world over the coming weeks, but things might not return to normal until June or July. Or maybe later. Or maybe we will have a new “normal” where theatrical releases only happen for a much smaller number of films. We will have to wait and see.
