The new Pixar offering performed okay in overseas markets, but it didn't open everywhere. (China is currently a bust due to a spiky virus galloping around the Middle Kingdom, but other hybrid movies continue to perform.) The worldwide numbers:

Global Grosses

Sonic the Hedgehog -- $297.3M

Call of the Wild -- $99.5M

Onward -- $69M

Dolittle -- $221.6M

M-G-M/UA has moved the new Bond feature from Spring to November, the better to avoid rampaging flu-bugs. We'll see if that works.
