Three more markets will open today which will make up about 55% of its total international release before next weekend. Avengers: Age of Ultron opens Stateside with a preview on Thursday, April 30 before going wide on May 1.

Down Under, Marvel and Disney experienced their best opening day ever with Ultron, only behind the first Avengers. It opened 54% above Iron Man 3 with a 79% market share in Australia.

And lastly, Russia was 65% above the first film and had a whopping 91% of the market there. In 2012, The Avengers opened to $185M overseas in a bigger percentage of the offshore marketplace than Ultron. However, that did not include Russia. This time it does and Russian audiences came out in droves. It was the No. 2 opening day ever for a Marvel movie, only behind Iron Man 3.

PREVIOUSLY: Thursday, 10:12 AM PT: The first international numbers are in for Disney/Marvel’s Avengers: Age Of Ultron from the 11 offshore markets that opened on Wednesday. The superhero mash-up was No. 1 in each of its debuts, grossing an estimated $9.5M. France saw its top opening of 2015 with $2.7M, 13% ahead of the 2012 original Avengers and 5% above Iron Man 3, both of which opened on a holiday Wednesday. Ultron scored the best opening day of all time in a pair of Asian territories: The Philippines was worth $1.6M; 29% bigger than Avengers and 16% over Iron Man 3, and Indonesia scored a $900K start, 99% better than Avengers and outpacing Iron Man 3 by 54%.

With $1.5M, Taiwan nabbed the No. 2 industry opening day and No. 1 Marvel opening day, bettering Avengers by 32% and Iron Man 3 by 18%. In Italy, the Joss Whedon-helmed pic grabbed $1.1M and 71% of the market, opening more than 3x bigger than Guardians Of The Galaxy and Captain America: The Winter Soldier and double the opening of Thor: The Dark World; all of those films also started on a Wednesday.

Other markets accounted for $1.7M, including a 52% increase over Avengers and Iron Man 3 in the Netherlands and a 25% jump on Iron Man 3 in Sweden (Avengers opened there on a Friday).

The Avengers opened to $185M three years ago in a bigger share of the marketplace. Predictions on Ultron place it at anywhere from a conservative $160M on the low end to $200M-plus on the high end. Wednesday’s opening numbers bode well considering recent global currency fluctuations against the greenback.

Ultron continues rolling out internationally this weekend ahead of its May 1 domestic bow. By the end of the frame, it will be open in 55% of the overseas marketplace. Kick-offs today are in Korea, the UK, Brazil, Australia, Russia, Germany and Argentina.
