As an ardent moviegoer who has witnessed the evolution of cinema over several decades, I must say that the release of “Gladiator II” is undeniably one of the most anticipated sequels of our time. With a stellar cast and Ridley Scott at the helm, it’s no surprise to see such a powerful start on the international box office.
In the global cinema marketplace, “Gladiator II” made a strong debut with an earnings of $87 million across 63 countries, marking a robust start for the long-awaited sequel to Ridley Scott’s 2000 Academy Award-winning film “Gladiator.
This sets a new record for Paramount Pictures as the largest international opening weekend for an R-rated film, and it represents Scott’s most successful overseas debut. His top-grossing films include “The Martian” ($630 million worldwide), “Gladiator” ($465 million globally), and “Prometheus” ($403 million).
In IMAX theaters, ‘Gladiator II’ raked in $7 million on 453 screens, placing it among the top three highest-grossing international openings for the company this year.
In the United Kingdom, the sequel had a powerful debut, earning $11.4 million at 722 cinemas, trailed by France with $10.3 million from 729 cinemas, Spain with $5.6 million from 411 cinemas, Australia with $5 million from 353 cinemas, and Mexico with $4.7 million at 922 cinemas. The epic film featuring Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, and Denzel Washington, with a theme of swords and sandals, arrives in North America and Canada on November 22, where it will vie for screen space against Universal’s high-budget adaptation of “Wicked” for similar spots.
As a passionate cinephile, I must say that the continuation of “Gladiator,” titled “Gladiator II” in my mind, is a grand spectacle with a hefty price tag of over $250 million. To be hailed as successful, it needs to create quite an impact at the worldwide box office. Critical reception has been somewhat divided, reflected by a 75% average rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
As a die-hard cinema enthusiast, I must say that the much-anticipated sequel “Gladiator II” has stormed into cinemas ahead of Dwayne Johnson’s festive film “Red One.” In its second week at the international box office, “Red One” managed to pull in a decent $14.7 million from 75 markets worldwide. The movie is being distributed by Amazon MGM within North America and Warner Bros. internationally.
This past weekend, both “The Wild Robot” from Universal and DreamWorks Animation and “Venom: The Last Dance” from Sony achieved significant box office accomplishments. “The Wild Robot”, an animated tale about a solitary robot that builds a society in the wilderness, surpassed $300 million in worldwide ticket sales, earning a total of $308 million globally, with $170 million coming from foreign markets. On the other hand, “Venom: The Last Dance”, the third installment of the Tom Hardy-led comic book series, exceeded $400 million in global revenues, bringing in a total of $436.1 million worldwide, with $308.5 million generated from international markets.
