In a spot of good news for Justice League, the film has become China’s highest ever grossing DC film.
Justice League hasn’t been performing well at its domestic box office, the high profile superhero blockbuster is currently tracking $100 million behind Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and over $50 million behind the DCEU’s lowest grosser, Man of Steel (via box office mojo).
However, things are looking better abroad, including in the world’s second biggest market, China.
Justice League has so far accumulated $98 million in the country (a record for DC), putting it ahead of Wonder Woman with $90.5 million, and Batman v Superman’s $95.7 million. Justice League has achieved this in just three weeks.
Of course, this isn’t accounting for inflation and who knows how well films like The Dark Knight would have performed in today’s climate rather than being released before China exploded onto the scene.
Never the less, this is good news for Justice League. Money is money and this puts the film’s worldwide total at $570 million.
