The first Downton Abbey opened to $31M at the domestic box office, marking the best opening ever for Focus Features. Downton Abbey 2 will open on a weekend where Warner Bros’ family animated film DC Super Pets is the only other studio-wide release. As a consequence of the postponement, STX will only release Guy Ritchie’s Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre that weekend, but Focus is moving their Mark Ryland crime thriller The Outfit from Feb. 25 to Downton Abbey 2’s old date; to provide cinemas with backfill. Focus Features’ movies generally have a 17-day window before going to PVOD. The Batman, scheduled for release on March 4, is expected to do $100M-plus in the box office, and there are no wide release movies scheduled during the weekend of March 11-13.
