GLobal box office top 5 breakdown 29th - 31st October 2021

Across the globe the movie takes $59.7 Million this weekend from 73 countries which is an incredible 25% increase over last weekend.

The movie has now taken an excellent $605.7 Million globally over its 5 weeks of release and is the 5th top movie of 2021.

The Battle At Lake Changjin

What this movie has achieved is quite incredible, it has been on the global box office for just 5 weeks and has taken $844.9 Million, it is the top movie globally of 2021 and yet it has only had a release in China.

To be fair the Chinese cinema has been open all year, unlike many other high grossing cinema territories like North America, United Kingdom, Australia, and I'm sure has these countries been open all year the likes of Fast and Furious 9, Black Widow and No Time To Die would have made over a Billion dollars, but you still can't take away this movies achievement.
