Beyond their brand power, both Ant-Man and Inside Out had extra momentum going into their worldwide runs. Inside Out had world premiered to an emotional high during the Cannes Film Festival with positive reviews and buzz spreading the word about Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. Disney had previously screened it at CinemaCon in Las Vegas and nearly a year before that had debuted footage at Barcelona’s CineEurope whetting appetites for European exhibitors. As of Sunday, IO had made 47% of its money overseas. Ant-Man had a sneak preview during that Barcelona event this year and was very well-received. It’s now holding well in Europe which is led (as is international box office overall for the film) by the UK with $22.4M. Mexico is next with $14.1M. Brazil ($12.1M), France ($11.3M) and Russia ($11M) follow. The international portion of Ant-Man is 54.8% of the total.
