It is expected to earn between $135 million and $145 million on its opening weekend at the overseas box office. Therefore, it is poised to have a massive opening weekend worldwide. The film is tracking to earn between $260 million and $280 million on its opening weekend at the worldwide box office.
There is a lot of positive buzz around the film, not only in North America but worldwide. In China, it has become the first non-Chinese movie to earn over $40 million in the post-COVID era.
