"Constantin’s UK-Germany-Spain-Italy co-production Pope Joan . . .  made a strong start to its run, with a $5m tally from 565 screens in three territories.  The lion’s share of the gross came from Germany, where the film secured top spot with $4.4m from 465 screens, a $9,500 average.

Pope Joan opens in Belgium on November 18 and Netherlands on December 17."
