UPDATED: Paramount’s _Bob Marley: One Love_ continued to sing sweet tunes in its sophomore session, adding $15M from 59 international box office markets for a drop of 37% from its


above-expectations stellar opening. The overseas cume is now $49.4M for $120.6M worldwide. We’ll dig into more about the reggae icon below, but for now let’s also look at some milestones


crossed this session, as well as some new play. To wit: Sony’s sexy romcom _Anyone But You_ has now hit on $200M worldwide after a $6M offshore weekend in 48 markets ($112.8M intl cume).


Since debuting during the Christmas holiday, the Glen Powell/Sydney Sweeney-starrer has become a social phenomenon with incredible holds. The Will Gluck-directed pic is the highest grossing


R-rated romantic comedy globally since 2016’s _Bridget Jones’s Baby _and is also higher than recent romcoms _Ticket To Paradise _and _The Lost City_.  WATCH ON DEADLINE What’s more, it’s the


5th highest grossing romantic comedy of all time in Mexico, and is the highest grossing romantic comedy in ITALY since 2012_. _The Top 5 to date are AUSTRALIA ($14.7M), UK ($14.2M), GERMANY

Sunday. This is director Yorgos Lanthimos’ highest grossing film both internationally ($66.7M) and globally, and is on track to become his highest grossing domestically. Performance overseas


remains strong with a 28% drop from last weekend — that was when Emma Stone scooped the Leading Actress BAFTA and the film took four other prizes in London. In GREECE, Lanthimos’ home


market, the film recently surpassed the final gross of _Spider-Man: No Way Home_ and is one of the country’s highest grossing non-local titles of the past decade. Hong Kong and Korea


releases are still to come. In other studio news, and again proving the strength of Japanese anime content, Crunchyroll/Sony’s _Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – To the Hashira Training_,


which is actually a set of TV episodes, launched in 42 offshore Sony markets with $13.7M. The debut is 29% ahead of _Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – To The Swordsmith Village_ and 66% above


of _Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen_ _Train_ for the same group of overseas markets at current exchange rates. IMAX global is $4M. In Latin America, it took the top spot in 10 markets with


Mexico leading at $4.5M. Meanwhile, there was amplified action in KOREA this weekend with Showbox’s horror mystery _Exhuma_ from director Jang Jae-hyun delivering an astonishing $16.8M


launch. The film screened in the Forum section of Berlin last week and just blew the doors off in its home-market debut. Turning back to the sensational _Bob Marley: One Love_, it added


eight markets this session, including a No. 1 opening in ITALY for the second biggest start of a music biopic, behind _Bohemian Rhapsody_. In a total 59 markets, it grossed $15M for the


weekend, -37% from the debut. The Top 5 to date are: UK ($14.3M), FRANCE ($9.7M), GERMANY ($3.2M), AUSTRALIA ($3.1M) and BRAZIL ($3M). Sony’s _Madame Web_ strung together another $10.5M in

Impossible – Dead Reckoning, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Godzilla V Kong, The Meg, Kong: Skull Island, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania_ and _Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse_. In


KOREA, the fourth weekend raised the local total to $21.4M, overtaking _Coco_ and _Despicable Me 3_. The Top 5 markets to date are the UK ($79.3M), FRANCE ($30.8M), MEXICO ($27.4M),
