\n\tRefresh for more\u2026No payola going on here, just pure ticket sales around the world. Michael<\/a> remained atop the box office charts like it was a 1982 Billboard music chart, reclaiming No. 1 in his fourth frame with $83.8M ($26.1M U.S.\/$57.7M Int\u2019l in 83 territories) for a running global cume of $703.8M ($282.7M U.S.\/$421M overseas). The respective domestic and international weekend dips of -31% via Lionsgate and -14% via Universal is everything a competing studio can be jealous of. And get this, Japan, which is a bound to be a big grossing territory (Jackson\u2019s finale concert doc This Is It made $57M there), doesn\u2019t open until June 12. <\/p>\n

\n\tGlobal Imax screens grossed $5.2M with North America ringing up $2M, as Lionsgate gained them back. Running cume is $60.4M WW for the pic in large format, $30.1M coming from domestic and $30.3M from international. <\/p>\n

\n\tBoth stateside and global, it\u2019s the second No. 1 weekend for Michael. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhat was new for the Antoine Fuqua directed movie this weekend? Korea\u00a0which opened to\u00a0$4.9M, No. 1 in the market, which is great because U.S. stuff post Covid struggles there. The pic was released on the newly created Culture Day (May 13). Michael\u00a0posted the\u00a0highest grossing musical biopic opening of all time\u00a0as well as the biggest MPA opening of the year in the market, deafening Queen\u2019s Bohemian Rhapsody.\u00a0\u00a0Playing on 1,733 screens, it\u2019s the widest release ever there for a musical biopic. Audience reactions are excellent with a 95% CGV Egg score.<\/p>\n

\n\tMichael remains No. 1 in France ($7.8M, $41.1M), UK & Ireland ($5.7M, $54.6M cume; outgrossed\u00a0The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/a>\u00a0+52% on Saturday, pic\u00a0is now\u00a0Universal\u2019s biggest film of the year to-date), Germany ($5.5M, $27.4M), Netherlands ($2.2M, $10.7M cume), and Spain($2M, $22M cume) as well as Saudi Arabia and UAE. Middle East region added $2.7M for a running $22.6M cume; the entire area 10x more than Bohemian Rhapsody. The King of Pop was No. 2 in Australia ($3.3M behind Devil Wears Prada 2, $23.6M cume) and Brazil ($3M behind Devil 2, $25.4M cume). Italy\u2019s fourth frame for the musical biopic rang up $2.9M with a $25.2M cume with Mexico adding $2.7M for a $26.5M cume. <\/p>\n

\n\tAfter three weekends, The Devil Wears Prada 2\u00a0has catwalked past the half billion mark with\u00a0an estimated $546.2M ($175.9M Domestic and $370.3M International). It\u2019s the No. 4 MPA global release so far YTD behind Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Michael and Project Hail Mary. Global third frame was $69M WW ($18M U.S., $50.6M from abroad, -35%). <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci sequel remains the top non-local title Italy (now pic\u2019s second highest grossing territory, but still robust fueled by female moviegoers with $34.5M), Australia ($23.4M), Japan ($21.8M), Brazil ($27M) and Mexico\u00a0($24.6M) as well as Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Hong Kong, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Argentina and other smaller Latin American territories. Pic is the No. 2 non-local title in UK (pic\u2019s top grossing territory with $36.9M), France ($21.2M), Germany ($25M), Spain, ($10.5M), China ($14.3M) and Korea\u00a0as well as Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Southern Africa, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Thailand, Vietnam, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia.<\/p>\n

\n\tNew Line\u2019s Mortal Kombat II is the second highest grossing movie in the franchise at this point time with $101.2M ($62.2M domestic and $39M int\u2019l). This is when compared with the reported $122M global gross of the 1995 pic. Global weekend was $23.4M ($13.4M domestic, $10M abroad from 80 markets). Updated cumes in the top five markets are UK ($3.9M), Mexico ($2.9M), Australia ($2.8M), Brazil ($2.5M) and China ($2.4M). <\/p>\n
