‘Rampage’ Tops $216M Overseas; ‘A Quiet Place’ Cranks WW Volume To $207M – International Box Office

April 22, 2018

Refresh for latest…: New Line/Warner Bros’ Rampage continued to dominate overseas play this weekend, adding $57M in 61 markets to push the international box office to $216.4M. The global tally on the Dwayne Johnson-starrer is now $283M. In China, Rampage crossed the $100M threshold and held No. 1 as it did in many key markets, easing only slightly in some of the smaller hubs. It still has France, Germany and Japan up its sleeve in May.

But this weekend, summer weather largely blanketed Western Europe which means moviehouses will have seen less traffic across the region. Overall, there were no major new wide releases as the world awaits Avengers: Infinity War which starts offshore rollout on Wednesday. Instead, this was a frame of holdovers and expansions with some notable milestones achieved.

As we reported yesterday, Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One crossed the $200M mark in the Middle Kingdom, and the $500M mark worldwide. With a full $23M in the current offshore frame, the cumes are $395.4M international and $521.6M global. The Warner Bros/Amblin/Village Roadshow movie notably began its box office quest in Japan where it grossed $4.4M on 749 screens to best Kong: Skull Island’s opening by 19%.

Meanwhile, Paramount’s A Quiet Place, refuses to be silenced. The John Krasinski-helmed scarer knocked out another $15M to increase the overseas volume to $74.8M off a 37% third-session drop and pacing above most comps. The global cume is $207.16M.

Elsewhere, Sony’s Peter Rabbit is springing towards $200M internationally, having now overtaken the overseas lifetimes of both Paddington movies and still with Korea and Japan to hop on board. Worldwide, the Beatrix Potter bunny has $310M in the basket.
