Despite some of the drama surrounding Tim Burton's comments on the diversity of his cast in Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children, the film still made a crushing North American debut.
"Fox's 'Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children' gets a big boost from the international marketplace with $36.5 million generated in 59 territories and thus earned $65 million this weekend when combined with its $28.5 million North American debut," said comScore's Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
"Notably, China based romance film 'I Belonged To You' was shown much love by audiences in just 4 territories generating a whopping $33.925 million this weekend and $44.925 million to date."
