DreamWorks’ Puss in Boots: The Last Wish continues to pull in strong numbers at the global box office as it has brought in over $33.2 million in the 3-day weekend in 78 regions in its fourth weekend since its premiere back on December 21, bringing the global cumulative total to an impressive $247.4 million.
The animated film came in third at the domestic box office this weekend, behind the box office powerhouse Avatar: The Way of Water and Universal’s horror hit M3GAN, currently in its second weekend since opening. The domestic box office performance for the film saw it make $13.4 million in 3,687 theaters, only a 1% drop from last weekend, and brought the domestic total to $106.3 million.

Mexico saw the best week-to-week growth with a 15% increase in its fourth weekend, adding $2.3 million to its $13.1 million. Brazil saw $3 million brought in by the film in its second weekend following last week when Puss in Boots: The Last Wish became the 2nd biggest animated opening weekend of the pandemic. The cume reached $6.9 million this weekend in the country. Similar to Brazil, the film also held strong in Poland after achieving the biggest opening weekend (in admissions) of the pandemic era last week and adding another $1 million in Weekend 2. The cume has now reached $3.1 million. Australia’s school holidays greatly benefited the film as it added $1.3 million this weekend with a strong hold to reach $8.6 million cume with only a -15% drop from last weekend.
