The Sony release has $87.75 million domestically so far, with plenty of wind left in its sails. That’s a great hold for the reboot/sequel, which is performing well with both older and younger audiences and also retained a solid portion of its PLF and IMAX screen footprint this weekend. Holding well in second place was last weekend’s champ Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which dropped 44% to an estimated $24.5 million in its sophomore frame over the three-day period and $35.25 million over the five-day. The animated title finishes its global opening weekend at $69.6 million.Ĭlick here to access our interview with the filmmakers behind Disney’s Encanto.
Top international performers include France ($3.5M), Colombia ($2.6M), UK ($2.4M), South Korea ($2.2M), and Italy ($2.1M). The title earned the biggest opening weekend for an animated title during the pandemic across several markets.
The landscape looks particularly good for Encanto given that its next major competitor -Universal’s Sing 2 -doesn’t land until December 22, giving the Disney title a solid month of play before attention shifts to the newer, shinier object.Įncanto pulled in positive numbers overseas, tallying a $29.3 million three-day frame from 47 markets, and scoring the second-biggest opening weekend of all-time for an animated title in Colombia ($2.6M, behind Toy Story 4). particularly given the movie’s stellar reviews (92% on Rotten Tomatoes) and strong word-of-mouth indicators (“A” Cinemascore, 93% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes). Nonetheless, Encanto has a good shot of holding up well in subsequent weekends. In short: While concerned parents can rest easier knowing their young children are eligible for the vaccine, many are likely waiting for their kids to be fully inoculated before returning to the multiplex. The reason for this may partly come down to timing while kids 5-11 became eligible to receive the Covid-19 vaccine earlier this month, even those who received their first shot as soon as they became available won’t be fully vaccinated until sometime in December. The adult-skewing House of Gucci, meanwhile, enjoyed a solid debut while the horror reboot/prequel Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City launched quietly further down the chart.ĭespite winning the weekend and boasting the highest domestic theatrical debut of any fully-animated film since the start of the pandemic, Encanto’s opening haul came in at the low end of expectations. Disney’s Encanto – the first non-Pixar Walt Disney Studios original animated film to debut exclusively in theaters since Frozen II in November 2019 –won the top spot at the domestic box office over the Thanksgiving frame, grossing an estimated $27 million over the three-day weekend and $40.3 million over the five-day span beginning Wednesday from 3,980 locations.
