In a holdover pattern for Hollywood at the global and international box office, with milestones being reached by existing releases, one new local entry from India has taken the spotlight. Viacom 18/Marflix's Hindi aviation actioner, "Fighter," directed by Siddharth Anand and starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, has made an impressive start globally.

According to comScore, "Fighter" has garnered a strong start, collecting $25.1 million worldwide in its opening weekend, including $4.3 million from North America. Box office data from India remains challenging to pinpoint accurately, but early estimates suggest that the film has earned around 120 crore ($14.4 million) domestically during the weekend, which included the Republic Day holiday. Notably, the film also achieved a significant milestone in the IMAX format, generating $1.4 million globally from 150 screens in 15 markets. In India alone, "Fighter" secured the fourth biggest start for a local title in the IMAX format, collecting $575K on 27 screens.

Meanwhile, Hollywood releases continue to make waves. Miramax's "The Beekeeper" added $10.9 million from 58 overseas markets, pushing its international total to $61.9 million and its global earnings to $103.9 million. The Jason Statham-starrer, which excludes China and Russia, has outperformed comparable films such as "Wrath of Man," "Plane," and the first "John Wick" installment by a significant margin, running 24-32% ahead in like-for-like comparisons. Additionally, the film has grossed $8 million in IMAX theaters worldwide.

Searchlight's "Poor Things," which received 11 Oscar nominations, expanded into several new markets during the weekend, grossing $10 million in 36 total. The film has recorded an international cume of $26.3 million, contributing to a global haul of $51.1 million. Retaining impressive international momentum, "Poor Things" experienced a drop of just 21% globally, with several markets demonstrating strong holds, including Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, and Austria.

Other films benefiting from the Oscar nominations include Universal/Focus' "The Holdovers," which experienced a minor 14% decline in its holdover markets. Currently playing in 28 territories, the film has amassed $11.9 million internationally, surpassing the performance of films such as "Nebraska" and "Licorice Pizza" at the same stage, and remaining on par with "Lady Bird."

Meanwhile, Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" seized the opportunity of its leading 13 Oscar nominations to re-release in over 2,700 overseas locations, including IMAX screens. The Universal film, which added $348K on Saturday, now has an offshore cume of $627.3 million, securing its place as Universal's eighth highest-grossing film of all time at the international box office. IMAX screenings have contributed an estimated $187 million to the film's worldwide total.

In its sixth week of release, Warner Bros/DC's "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" surpassed the $400 million mark worldwide, grossing $7 million from 78 overseas markets. The film's international cume stands at $294.6 million, with a global tally of $412.7 million. Notably, China leads the pack with $61.7 million, followed by Mexico, France, Germany, and Brazil.

Furthermore, Illumination/Universal's animated film "Migration" continued its successful run, amassing $5.2 million across 76 markets. The film has now crossed the $100 million mark internationally, reaching a total of $104.9 million, and has surpassed $200 million globally, accumulating $206.1 million. Germany remains the top-performing market for "Migration," surpassing the lifetime earnings of films like "The Boss Baby," and outperforming "Puss in Boots 2," "Moana," and "Sing 2" at the same stage.

In conclusion, India's "Fighter" has taken flight and dominated the global box office, while Hollywood releases continue to achieve significant milestones. With "Fighter" leading the way, and films like "The Beekeeper," "Poor Things," and "Oppenheimer" also making their mark, the global and international box office remains active and full of possibilities.
