Dat Cinderella een groot succes gaat worden zal niemand verbazen, maar dat deze film dit weekeinde opende met $132 miljoen wel. Dan moet je in het achterhoofd houden dat slechts 55% van de wereld release is, want in landen zoals bij ons moet de film nog in de bioscopen gaan draaien.


After one of the worst March openings in nine years, the box office bounced back with the release of Disney's latest live-action fairy tale, Cinderella. Directed by Kenneth Branagh (Thor) and starring Lily James, Richard Madden, Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter and many more, the movie opened in 3,845 in theaters on Friday after earning $2.3 million from Thursday night previews. It took in $23 million (roughly 67% of the movies in theaters) and ended up with an estimated $70.1 million over the weekend or $18,219 per theater. It's the sixth-largest March opening and came out just ahead of Angelina Jolie's Maleficent last June.

It also opened internationally in 55% of the overseas territories where it scored $62.4 million with a huge $25 million opening in China as well as #1 openings in other Asian and Latin American markets. Globally, the day and date release grossed $132 million with other major markets such as the UK, France, Germany, Brazil and others still to come.
