Paddington Trilogy Overtakes the Mad Max and Predator Franchises at Global Box Office
With Paddington in Peru out now in theaters, the trilogy featuring everyone's favorite marmalade-loving bear has officially passed a major milestone.
Thanks to the domestic debut of Paddington in Peru this past weekend, but mostly thanks to the film's outstanding performance in the United Kingdom, the Paddington trilogy has now passed a massive milestone at the global box office. Based on the children's books by Michael Bond, the franchise debuted a decade ago, and currently comprises three films, with plans for a fourth installment being put into motion recently. Since the character originates from the U.K., the Paddington films have always been more popular in Europe than in North America, but that hasn't stopped the trilogy from overtaking some of the biggest franchises of all time.
