‘Aquaman’ Becomes Highest-Grossing Warner Bros. Film In China

Believe it or not, it has been over a year since Justice League, DC’s last superhero film to hit theaters. It’s been quite the wait, but Aquaman finally opens here in the United States this weekend; however, the film has already been showing for at least a week in many overseas markets and to much success.

The film seems to have caught on particularly in China, where, Warner Bros, announced the film has already grossed over $209.5 million. That officially makes Aquaman the studio’s all-time top performer in China. Internationally, the film has already surpassed $332.1 million. That is $12.1 million more than it needed to make in order to break even. The feat is even more impressive considering domestic numbers have not even come in yet, which means everything from here on out is nothing but icing on the cake.

From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an acition-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be… a king.

Directed by James Wan, Aquaman stars Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry, Amber Heard as Mera, Willem Dafoe as Vulko, Patrick Wilson as Orm / Ocean Master, Dolph Lundgren as Nereus, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, Ludi Lin as Captain Murk, and Temuera Morrison as Tom Curry.
