Paddington in Peru may not be arriving in US theaters until February 14, but its box office takings from global markets have already placed the sequel in a very strong place ahead of its North American debut. The movie sees series directing newcomer Dougal Wilson take helm of a new tale that sees Ben Whishaw’s bear visit Peru in search of his aunt Lucy. Paddington in Peru‘s cast also features Hugh Bonneville, Madeline Harris, and Samuel Joslin as the Browns, Julie Walters as Mrs. Bird, and Emily Mortimer takes on the role of Mary. Antonio Banderas and Olivia Colman also join the series.
Despite being two weeks from its US debut, The Numbers reports that Paddington in Peru is set to pass a major milestone. From its current international box office takings alone, the movie has earned $93.2 million from overseas territories. With these releases and the movie set to open in several other countries in the lead-up to its US release, it is likely the movie will earn over $100 million before it reaches US audiences.

Despite New Direction, The Movie Is On Course To Be As Strong As Prior Installments
