‘F1' On Course For $600M Global Amid Continued Strong Holds; ‘Superman' Also Soon To Milestone; Big WW Weekend For India's ‘Coolie' & Japan's ‘Demon Slayer'
…: It's been largely a holdover weekend for the studios at the global and international box office, with results for some that will soon translate to big milestones. It was also a notable frame for local titles from India and Japan. Studio-wise, last weekend's champ, New Line/Warner Bros' Weapons, was tops with another $18.4M in its offshore arsenal from 73 markets. The overseas cume is now $59.7M for $148.8M global. More from Deadline 'Shin Godzilla', Back In Tokyo Bay And U.S. Cinemas - Specialty Box Office 'Weapons' Loads $25M Second Weekend, 'Nobody 2' Stuck At $9M+ Opening - Sunday AM Box Office Update 'Weapons' Star Amy Madigan Talks Aunt Gladys Origin Story, If She'll Return For Prequel: "You Guys Figure It Out" In milestones, Universal/Amblin's Jurassic World Rebirth well surpassed $800M global, and both DC/Warner's Superman and Apple/WB's F1 are on their way to topping $600M worldwide, apiece. Before we get into the details on the above, let's look at what's happening with some local titles that either had terrific debuts or are continuing on in expansion. India's got two movies in the mix: Rajinikanth-starrer Coolie, and Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr.-starrer War 2. Each opened with a bang. Estimates we are hearing put Coolie at $45.4M global, including about $27M from India. For War 2, comScore has $31.5M worldwide. As we always note, India is extremely ornery to track, and we will update accordingly. Either way, great starts for each. In other local news, this time in expanded overseas play via Crunchyroll/Sony, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle set new records with a $17.5M No. 1 opening in the eight Southeast Asian markets that debuted this weekend. The latest installment in the blockbuster anime franchise surpassed the entire regional lifetime for Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train as well as Frozen II for the highest all-time animated opening for this group of markets at current exchange rates. The launch was over twice as big as Inside Out 2, Super Mario Bros., Moana 2 and Ne Zha 2. In individual records, Indonesia, with $3.6M,logged the biggest anime opening ever and the highest opening weekend locally since Deadpool & Wolverine. Hong Kong, at $3.5M, had the largest anime opening ever and the top start since 2019. Thailand bowed to $3.2M, the best anime and animation opening of all time. Other anime records were set in Malaysia ($3.3M) and Vietnam ($2.5M). Infinity Castle has, of course, already broken records since its July release in Japan and still has several markets to release including the U.S., Mexico, Australia, UK, Spain, France and Germany. The global cume is estimated at $192.8M through Sunday. Turning back to the studio top-liners, New Line/WB's Weapons pulled in another $18.4M from 73 overseas markets for a 33% drop from opening weekend. The international running cume is $59.7M and the global cume to date is $148.8M through Sunday. Among strong individual holds were Chile (+2%), Sweden (-6%), Germany (-11%), Holland (-17%), Saudi Arabia (-22%), Philippines (-23%), Brazil (-25%), France (-28%), Italy (-29%), Mexico (-29%), Argentina (-30%) and Australia (-31%). In like-for-like markets and using today's exchange rates, the film is tracking ahead of Sinners (+47%), Smile (+42%), M3GAN (+41%) and 28 Years Later (+27%). The Imax cume is $13.8M global. Universal/DreamWorks Animation's The Bad Guys 2 continued its staggered offshore release this session, adding $13.7M from 67 markets (-34% in the holdovers). That brings the international running total to $60.2M, which is above the original at the same point. Globally, Bad Guys 2 crossed the century mark for $117.4M to date. New openers included China, where the gang bowed on Saturday amid stiff local competition (including an animated title), and stole away with $6.7M for the two-day debut — the biggest studio animation opening in the market this year. The start is above Elemental, and well above Trolls and The Bad Guys (which all opened on a Friday). The Maoyan score is 9.5 with the ticketing site predicting a $40M+ full run. Drops were very good in majors like France (-13%), Korea (-25%) and Spain (-29%) while increases were seen in Argentina (+10%) and Netherlands (+7%), among others. Still to release are Italy, Germany and Australia. The Top 5 to date are: UK ($11.8M), France ($6.7M), Spain ($5M), Mexico ($4.7M) and Korea ($2.4M). The Jurassic juggernaut continues for Universal with Jurassic World Rebirth adding another $9.9M in 83 offshore markets this 7th session. That's a 39% dip from last frame and takes the international cume to $496.5M. Global is now well across the eight-century mark, with $828.6M worldwide through Sunday. This weekend, JWR surpassed the overseas box office cumes of Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Jumanji: The Next Level. Japan was a standout in its second frame despite local competition, already reaching $20.8M. All markets have been released, and the Top 5 to date are: China ($79M), UK ($46.4M), Mexico ($36M), Germany ($31.6M) and France ($27.7M). Marvel/Disney's The Fantastic Four: First Steps has reached a global cume through its fourth Sunday of $468.7M, still skewing domestic with a little over 47% from the international box office where the running cume is $221.7M. This overseas frame was $9.3M with all markets released. F4:FS is the highest-grossing superhero genre title of the year across Latin America and was again No. 1 in Brazil this weekend. The overall overseas drop was 48% and included good holds in such majors as France (-26%), Spain (-28%), Italy (-39%), Japan (-42%), Brazil (-43%), Mexico (-47%), Australia (-49%), UK (-49%) and Germany (-50%). The Top 5 offshore markets to date are: UK ($27.9M), Mexico ($26.2M), France ($14.3M), Brazil ($12.8M) and Australia ($10.6M). Meanwhile, last weekend's new Disney pic, Freakier Friday, grossed $9.3M in 47 material overseas markets, taking the offshore cume to $31.5M and global to $86.3M. The reteam of Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis dipped by just 37% internationally, and has been performing strongly in Latin America. This weekend it held the No. 1 spot in that region as a whole with great holds in some markets including Brazil (-22%) and Mexico (-32%). Currently playing in about 85% of the overseas footprint, Freakier Friday opens next weekend in Taiwan and has such majors as Korea (August 27) and Japan (September 5) on deck. The Top 5 to date are: Mexico ($5.7M), UK ($5.5M), Australia ($2.6M), Argentina ($1.8M) and Colombia ($1.4M). Capping off the trifecta of movies grossing $9.3M internationally this weekend, Apple Original Films' F1, via Warner Bros clocked only a 23% drop from last weekend – seriously impressive in the 8th frame. The international total is currently $407.2M and the global running cume is $590M through Sunday. In Korea, where audiences are driving hard, F1 is now the No. 1 movie of 2025, ahead of all local titles. In addition, this is the biggest film ever for Brad Pitt in the market and the 4th biggest WB film ever. WB/DC's Superman is also headed to $600M global, now at $594.5M through Sunday.

Fun Spanish for Android now offers enhanced accent-rich voices and interactive speaking challenges to help kids playfully improve Spanish pronunciation.

On Android, Fun Spanish combines short, playful activities with interactive speaking prompts and a diverse range of character voices—different tones, expressions, and accents—to help children detect sound contrasts and practice clear articulation.

'By enriching our voice models and speaking challenges with a wider array of natural accents, we're helping young learners hear—and try—authentic Spanish in context. The goal is simple: children speak more, notice more, and feel proud of how quickly they sound better.' Fun Spanish for Android delivers a complete early‑learner pathway across listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Children explore vocabulary through game‑based activities, then practice production using interactive prompts that reward clarity without adding pressure. Studycat's curriculum is designed for ages 2–8 and features learner profiles for up to four family members, progress tracking, and a consistent, ad‑free experience that keeps attention on learning. What's new for voice and pronunciation - Accent‑rich voice exposure: Expanded use of varied character voices so children hear natural pronunciation styles while learning core Spanish words and phrases. - Interactive speaking moments: More bite-sized opportunities to repeat words and simple phrases within gameplay, reinforcing articulation without overlong drills. - Low‑pressure feedback cues: Child‑friendly visual and audio responses that encourage another try while keeping momentum and motivation high. - Family-friendly controls: Parent-visible progress and profile-based activity history to understand which sounds and topics kids have practiced most.

New Game Plus arrives next week in Assassin's Creed Shadows as confirmed by huge roadmap update
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Assassin's Creed Shadows is getting a bunch of updates throughout the year It starts with a New Game Plus update next week Further changes and an expansion are set to arrive in September Ubisoft has provided a huge update for Assassin's Creed Shadows' upcoming content roadmap. Revealed in a post to the official series website, the 'summer roadmap' begins with a progression update, arriving next week on July 29. Headlining this update is the arrival of New Game Plus, which lets players carry over character level, gear, skill points, Hideout progression and knowledge rank into a new game after they've rolled credits. The progression update also brings a level cap increase from 60 to 80, new knowledge ranks, a new forge level and the addition of more achievements and trophies (depending on your platform of choice). At the start of September (date TBC), Ubisoft will bring a 'quality-of-life improvement update' to Assassin's Creed Shadows. This free update will finally allow players to fast forward the time of day, 'unfog' the world map, and bring more Hideout and general content updates. This update will also uncap the frame rate in cutscenes, though this is a feature that will only be found in the PC version of the game. Lastly, on September 16, Assassin's Creed Shadows will receive its first story expansion. Known as Claws of Awaji, the expansion adds a new region to explore, as well as all-new weapons, abilities, gear, and enemies. Ubisoft claims the expansion will add more than ten hours of content, and will unlock only after you've beaten the base game story. Likely, this means the expansion will carry on the story from the original ending. You might also like...
