However, according to the report, there are several reasons why the sequel will find it difficult to match the success of the first film, which grossed USD 2.97 billion globally, making it the highest-grossing picture in history.
For starters, the global box office hasn’t fully recovered from the pandemic, and important markets like China are seeing the transition again.
The sequel will also not be seen in Russia, where the first film earned US$116 million.
