This accomplishment occurred during a time when the cast couldn't engage in traditional promotional activities due to an ongoing actors' strike. Nevertheless, the movie's appeal has not waned, with last weekend's performance showing only a 36% drop in international markets.
The top markets driving this success include the UK ($8 million), France ($7 million), Germany ($4.5 million), Italy ($4.1 million, managed by Leone), Spain ($3.5 million), Australia ($3 million), Netherlands ($1.8 million), Mexico ($1.8 million), Brazil ($1.5 million), and the UAE ($900,000).
