Walt Disney Animation’s original musical adventure Encanto topped the domestic chart with a Wednesday-Sunday opening of $40.3 million, the best start of the pandemic era for an animated title.

That includes $27 million for the three-day weekend.

Overseas, Encanto opened to $29.3 million from more than 47 markets for a global launch of $69.6 million.

Directed by Ridley Scott, Gucci sewed up a five-day debut of $21.8 million and $14.2 million for the weekend, both record numbers for an adult drama in the pandemic era and reflecting star Lady Gaga’s appeal among younger adults.

Overseas, the drama opened to $12.9 million from 40 markets for a global start of $34.7 million.

Lomis was referring to both Gucci and Paul Thomas Anderson’s Licorice Pizza, which MGM and United Artists opened in exclusive 70mm runs in four theaters in New York and Los Angeles.

Overseas, the pic opened to $5.1 million from 15 markets for a global start of $13.9 million.

Afterlife grossed $35.3 million domestically for the five-day Thanksgiving frame — not far behind Encanto — including $24.5 million for the weekend.
