Refresh for latest…: Major holdovers and expansions, combined with sprinklings of key awards contender releases kept offshore turnstiles clicking to varied offerings this weekend. In highlights, Sony’s Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle leads the action again, rocking up with another $81M including a $40M start in China, and as it approaches $400M at the international box office. The Jake Kasdan-helmed adventure was No. 1 in 31 offshore markets with strong holds across the board and has swung to $383M overseas and $667M worldwide.

In its 5th weekend, Star Wars: The Last Jedi added $19M to bring the offshore total to $673.4M and the worldwide bounty to $1,264.9M. The latter lifts Episode VIII above Beauty And The Beast to become the No. 10 global release of all time.

Coco meanwhile struck a chord in Korea with the third-best start ever for a Disney or Pixar animated title. The full weekend in 35 material markets was $19M to tie stablemate The Last Jedi in the frame. The international Coco cume is now $425.2M with global at $621.7M. The UK and Japan are still on deck.

In notable market debuts, Universal’s Darkest Hour from Working Title and Focus brought Gary Oldman’s Winston Churchill to the UK with a No. 1 start to top comps at $5.85M. The weekend in 22 markets was $10.6M including a terrific start in Brazil. This is following Oldman’s Golden Globe win last weekend and Tuesday’s nine BAFTA nominations.

The BAFTA nominations leader, Fox Searchlight’s The Shape Of Water, took a bow in filmmaker Guillermo del Toro’s home country Mexico this weekend — a few days after he took the Golden Globe for Best Director. It well outperformed comps at about 61.3M pesos ($3.2M) and as exhibitors ask for authorization to add more shows. It was by far the No. 1 movie this weekend and more than doubled the No. 2 picture in the market. Del Toro said today, “It is particularly moving to see the response that The Shape Of Water is having this week, not only for the sustained box office in the U.S. but for the beautiful outpouring of love in Mexico. The fact that audiences in my country have embraced it, means the world to me.”

Also from busy Searchlight, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, the Golden Globes’ Best Motion Picture, Drama, and a nine-time BAFTA nominee, has crossed $10M after opening in just Australia last frame (and it increased there by 6% this time around). Top bows this session included the UK, Spain and Italy (with the highest screen average in the market for the pic that debuted at the Venice Film Festival).

Elsewhere, big Fox’s The Greatest Showman has danced across the $100M international box office mark, as has Lionsgate’s Wonder. Sony/Blumhouse’s Insidious: The Last Key has stayed on pace to unlock the biggest gross of the franchise. As it begins soft rollout overseas, Studiocanal’s The Commuter is having a nice start to its journey, coming in above key comps with full numbers to come on Monday.
