At this time in 2015, Fox’s The Martian, Sony’s Hotel Transylvania 2 and Disney/Marvel’s Ant-Man were in charge and nearing major milestones. Versus last year, this weekend is up 8% across the Top 10. Across the Top 10 titles there was a 3% jump from last week when Inferno debuted in a pre-domestic release pattern that will see it hit $100M international before getting to North America later this week. Accompanying the ex-military policeman at the top of the charts are Tom Hanks holdover Inferno with $28.9M ($94.8M intl cume) and Jason Statham sequel Mechanic: Resurrection with $28.2M in the Middle Kingdom ($50M intl cume). UPDATE, SUNDAY PM: Tom Cruise-starrer Jack Reacher: Never Go Back led the international box office this weekend with a $31.5M debut in 42 markets, including a soft start in China. In total, Never Go Back bested the Sunday estimate with $31.5M in 42 markets and was the weekend leader (more detail below). With the downturn in the market amid constant shifts plus younger, more discerning audiences, China is becoming tougher for Hollywood to crack and this franchise just hasn’t clicked with Chinese audiences. Certainly no one blames Cruise who remains a huge and willing star. While Never Go Back was expected to do better in China, rival execs weren’t necessarily pointing fingers over the outcome.
