The first one did $277.3m OS for a $494.9m WW total. This one will definitely increase in OS markets as the WOM was great for the last movie as well. I think this one can top $400m OS.

I don't think this has caught on overseas like in the US. I'd say $320m overseas.

I think this has a good shot to $400m.

This could gross well in China, nearing $50m (the first one made less than $15m)

I think this will at least match KFP2 in South Korea ($41m), given the first film was one of the really few animated movies to not flop there.

For Latin America, I can see a nice improvement. For the rest of the world I am not sure.

Europe likes dragons and Asia loves dreamworks movies
400m is a lock

Asia will definitely see a big uptick. I am still worried about European countries but I can still see this one doing good there. There won't be a 3D increase this time for this movie so there isn't too much of added advantage there.

I hope it does well.

Might be affected by World Cup? Or maybe not, it's a family movie after all.

Toy Story 3 was released during World Cup in most Latin American and some European and Asian countries in 2010 and did fine, perhaps a little percent was indeed affected though.......... We'll never know

Yeah I don't see too big of an impact of World Cup on this one plus this is the first big animated movie in OS markets as well after Rio (not many local animated movies do great outside of Japan).

Exactly. Unless, well, it handled the World Cup so well because it was Toy Story 3.

Toy Story 2 adjusted for inflation would do close to $350m OS but TS3 did $650m with good WOM so if HTTYD2 gets a good WOM I don't why it would be any different.

No bitch, it's Toy Story what you are comparing

My man

I am not comparing and this is definitely not making AS much. What I said was that with good WOM this can handle World Cup.

400m is the target. Remember the first one was already in 3D

I wonder why Fox/DreamWorks hasn't released any numbers...

I came to this thread expecting some numbers for this. It has opened in Singapore but they are sneak previews so I believe they will be added in opening weekend total.

From BO.com



Don't know which markets it opened to but that does not seem to be a great opening IMO.

Its expanding to 28 markets next so hopefully a bigger number next weekend.

The only major market it opened in was Russia.

The UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and more get it in July/August.

I know some territories in Latin America had previews on Saturday and Sunday, however not sure if those numbers are already taken into account or will be included next week on its OW

Yeah, with the World Cup underway int'l box office is gonna be pretty dull for the next month or so.

Yes! My country had the biggest animated opening. I am pretty sure it's loved here.

The Art of book was constantly sold out and those books are expensive.

Only one big market makes sense that the OS total this weekend is a bit low. And this weekend was the start of World Cup so I don't see how it will collapse in the coming weekends.

With the initial questions of the wisdom of releasing HTTYD2 against the World Cup, I find it interesting that the countries that care MORE about the World Cup are so far receiving it better than the U.S. is. Some have cited the World Cup as a possible hindrance against it here in the States - maybe we're not used to doing well in soccer and so we're more transfixed on our performance to the detriment of other activities?

The other conundrum - people also point to Maleficent as siphoning off HTTYD2's audience, yet the same problem doesn't seem to be holding true overseas (at least not as much as here). And of course, the space between the two films' releases will be longer in a lot of the upcoming major markets.
