According to Box Office Mojo Kingsman: The Golden Circle won another round at the international box office, adding over $50 million worldwide in its second outing. Directed by Matthew Vaughn and starring Colin Firth, Taron Egerton and Julianne Moore, Kingsman is on the verge of reaching the $200 million benchmark.

It had a very strong opening in Korea, with a record $16 million debut, three times bigger than the original Kingsman: The Secret Service, also bigger than this year’s Transformers: The Last Knight and of The Fate of The Furious. A China release is scheduled for October 20. In the U.S., Kingsman scored $17 million and came in nearly perfectly tied for second (with Tom Cruise’s American Made).
