\n\tThis weekend at the global box office was the tale of two holdovers as \u201cWuthering Heights<\/a>\u201d waltzed to $150 million while \u201cGOAT<\/a>\u201d hit the $100 million mark.<\/p>\n

\n\tDirector Emerald Fennell\u2019s gothic romantic drama \u201cWuthering Heights,\u201d which ceded the top spot in North America<\/a> to \u201cGOAT,\u201d was No. 1 at the international box office with $26.3 million from 76 markets. In a theatrical surprise, the R-rated film has been a bigger draw overseas with ticket sales having climbed to $91.7 million to date. Top foreign territories include the United Kingdom with $22.5 million, Italy with $9.4 million and Australia with $8.3 million. So far, \u201cWuthering Heights\u201d has grossed $151.7 million worldwide against an $80 million production budget.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cGOAT\u201d captured second place with $17 million from 51 territories, representing 70% of its overseas footprint. Sony\u2019s original animated adventure, about an animal who aspires to be a basketball champion, has earned $44 million internationally. The U.K. is the highest-grossing market with $14.5 million, followed by Mexico with $3.4 million and France with $3 million. Along with $58 million at the domestic box office, \u201cGOAT\u201d has generated $102.3 million against a price tag of $80 million.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere at the international box office, Amazon MGM\u2019s heist thriller \u201cCrime 101\u201d added $6.2 million from 75 markets in its second weekend of release. The film, starring Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo, has stalled with $21.6 million overseas and $46.3 million worldwide. That\u2019s a terrible result for the studio considering it spent $90 million to produce the film (and theater owners keep roughly 50% of ticket sales).<\/p>\n

\n\tOutside of Hollywood releases, China\u2019s comedy \u201cPegasus 3\u201d is dominating with estimates of over $200 million during the Chinese New Year, a popular time for moviegoing in the country. The film is doing especially well in Imax with $21.7 million over the weekend, the second consecutive Chinese-language hit for the company after last year\u2019s phenomenon \u201cNe Zha 2.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This weekend at the global box office was the tale of two holdovers as \u201cWuthering Heights\u201d waltzed to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":492787,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[49,48,75,47192,337,65750],"class_list":{"0":"post-492786","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-goat","12":"tag-movies","13":"tag-wuthering-heights"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=492786"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492786\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/492787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=492786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=492786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=492786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
