Soul is still doing good overseas and is doing well in china where it jumped up 149% from last week.
Demon slayer update---oul is having an uplifting run in China. After debuting last frame to $5.5M, the animated original saw daily increases from Tuesday forward and a sophomore session of $13.7M — a 149% jump from the debut. The local cume is now $25.7M based on terrific word of mouth. This weekend it had the highest per-show averages of the local Top 10.
It’s estimated the film could do a little over $50M in the market, an impressive number given Pixar films tend not to overindex there save for Coco. If it surpasses Incredibles 2’s $54M, it would become Pixar’s second biggest-grosser in China after Coco.
In total, Soul posted an estimated $16.5M from the same 10 markets in which it bowed last session, plus South Africa which was new this weekend. That’s a 114% hike from opening. Increases were also seen in Singapore (+77%), Ukraine (+59%), Thailand (+54%), Saudi Arabia (+52%), Vietnam (+47%), Taiwan (+18%) and Malaysia (+15%).
https://deadline.com/2021/01/wonder-...ce-1234664096/Meanwhile, in Japan, Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train was No. 1 for the 12th frame in a row, staying essentially on par with last weekend when the anime adaptation officially surpassed 2001’s Spirited Away as Japan’s highest-grossing title ever. The current market estimate is 34.6B yen ($337M). We will update with official figures on Monday.
