Fox also made headlines with the early launch of Bohemian Rhapsody in the UK where it delivered an estimated $12.2 million, outperforming the openings of A Star is Born by +127% as well as The Greatest Showman (+95%), La La Land (+46%) and Les Miserables (+15%). Fox will release the film domestically next weekend in approximately 3,800 locations along with an additional 64 international markets including Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Mexico, Russia, South Korea and Spain.

Well...A Star is Born and The Greatest Showman opened low over there and built momentum through word of mouth.

Taking that into consideration makes this opening not quite as sensational as it sounds when comparing it against those openings.

Sure it had a strong start(but not earth-shaking) and it's ultimate success is yet to be determined.
