Superman's China Box Office Flop: Dismal $97K Earnings on Day 8

Summary

  • Superman movie's poor performance in China, earning only $8.2M in 8 days
  • Significant drop in screen count from opening week
  • Movie performing well domestically and in other overseas markets
Superman's China Box Office Flop: Dismal $97K Earnings on Day 8

The latest Superman movie, directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet in the lead role, has been a major disappointment at the China box office. The film, which was released in China on the same day as its domestic (North America) debut on July 11, has failed to make a significant impact in the important overseas market.

While the movie is enjoying mostly favorable word-of-mouth and performing well in North America and other international territories, the audience feedback in China has been mixed, significantly affecting its run. On the second Friday, day 8 of its release, the film crashed at the China box office, earning a dismal $97,000. This has resulted in the total collection in China standing at just $8.2 million, a far cry from the expectations for the first chapter of the DC Universe.

The movie is currently playing on just over 3,000 screens in China, a massive reduction from its opening week, indicating that it has not found many takers in the market. It is unlikely to cover much more ground and will soon wrap up its run in the country.
