Warcraft Movie - China Box Office Update
The Warcraft Movie continues to do well internationally, with Deadline posting numbers for China:
- The movie had a $46 million opening day in China.
- This is the largest non-weekend movie opening of all time.
- The previous record holder was Age Of Ultron with $28.3 million.
- The midnight screenings accounted for $7.6 million, close to the all time record of Furious 7 ($7.9 million).
- IMAX pre-sales also set a new record at $8.2 million.
- The movie set another record by playing on 67.5% of all screens.
- Projections were $122 million - $152 million for the opening week in China, but the movie may do even better than that.
- The international total so far is around $121 million.
UPDATE:
Day two of Warcraft‘s China invasion came on strong with a current range of $44.5M-$46.5M (292-305M rmb).
That gives the Legendary/Universal fantasy actioner the biggest Thursday box office of all time in the Middle Kingdom, topping the record set by The Mermaid which went on to become the biggest grossing film ever in the market. The Warcraft figures are as of 10:30 PM local time and give it a mainland China total of $90.6M – $92.2M (595-605M after two days. The film passed the 500M rmb milestone at 4:46 PM local time this afternoon which is believed also to be a record. Only two other films have ever passed the benchmark in their first two days of release: The Mermaid and Furious 7. Based on current numbers this is the first time in history that a film has exceeded 600M in two days of release.
