Given that most of those markets are facing coronavirus issues, Onward could face hurdles - as is the case for all movies releasing during an unprecedented situation.

Finally, Zootopia wowed in China, followed by Japan, Russia, France, the UK and Korea.

Coco saw its top performances in China, Mexico, Japan, France and the UK. Big Hero 6 did best in China, Japan, the UK, Russia, Korea and Spain. On Inside Out, the ultimate biggest markets were the UK, Korea, Japan, Germany, Mexico and France. Overseas comparisons to also bear in mind for Onward do include Inside Out, which did $59M in like-for-like markets at opening and in today’s dollars (it likewise debuted at a major festival, Cannes in this case, and then benefited from being a summer release) Big Hero 6 which bowed to $42M Coco, which did $46M and Zootopia, which debuted to $61M.

While spring break goes into effect this weekend with 4% K-12 out on Friday and 12% on Monday (higher than the 3% and 5% which Zootopia had on both days, respectively), forecasts remain lower on this original Pixar film. In the states, in the first-choice category, Onward is tracking just higher than Disney’s 2016 original animated toon Zootopia, which also opened during the first weekend of March and overindexed in its opening to $75M, spurred by its humor and social cultural message and besting its $60M-$70M projections. We get specific here because Disney, going forward, will count the box office from 20th Century Studios and Searchlight movies in its annual box office grosses. Some will write that Onward is Disney’s first feature release of 2020, but if you want to get technical, it’s not that belonged to 20th Century Studios’ Kristen Stewart disaster Underwater.

China, which is not typically a massive Pixar market, is on hold as it is for all titles amid the Middle Kingdom cinema shutdown.ĭirected by Monsters University filmmaker Dan Scanlon, Onward follows two teenage elf brothers who embark on a quest to discover if there is still a little magic left out there in the world. That said, we’re hearing that Italian cinemas are gradually re-opening. The latter two would have been included in the opening suite, but saw their dates shifted due to the recent spike in COVID-19 cases. Australia joins in April in addition to Japan, Korea and Italy. Key markets launching include France (which has some cinemas closed), the UK, Russia, Brazil, Mexico and Germany where the Tom Holland-Chris Pratt feature premiered at the Berlin Film Festival. How low Onward goes this weekend offshore will indicate how intense fears are among moviegoers. In 47 offshore markets, repping 60% of the foreign footprint, Onward is looking to do $40M-$55M, for a worldwide start between $90M-$105M.
