‘Paddington in Peru’ Falls Short of Best Film in Franchise Despite Sailing Toward New Box Office Milestone

Just a few days before it’s made available on Netflix in the United Kingdom and Ireland, Paddington in Peru is chasing down what could be its final global box office milestone. Whether it achieves this target remains to be seen, but it’ll make all the difference in the film being perceived as a hit. Paddington 3 was released in the U.K. back in November, which means that its theatrical run is closing in on the six-month mark. The movie debuted domestically around a month ago, and has now emerged as the franchise’s second-biggest stateside hit.
