Mexico experienced the biggest week-to-week gain, adding $2.3 million to its $13.1 million in the fourth weekend, a 15% rise. Following Puss in Boots: The Last Wish’s second-largest animated opening weekend of the decade last week, Brazil saw $3 million brought in by the movie in its second weekend. This past weekend, the total in the nation surpassed $6.9 million.

Following the highest opening weekend (in admissions) of the pandemic era last week and an additional $1 million in Weekend 2, the movie performed admirably in Poland, much like it did in Brazil. The total presently stands at $3.1 million. The movie profited immensely from the Australian school holidays as it earned $1.3 million this weekend and held strong, bringing its cume to $8.6 million with just a -15% decline from the previous weekend.
