Aquaman 2 is to be in Chinese theatres till mid-February
For those who don’t know, Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom would have ended its run in China a few days back, but thankfully, it has got an extension for screening till February 16. This extension is helping the film keep the scoreboard ticking, and in the next few days, it’ll allow the biggie to cross the lifetime collection of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.
Aquaman 2’s current status in China
Even though on the lower side, Aquaman 2 is showing a steady trend with minimal drops. As per the recent update, the film has earned $60.60 million at the Chinese box office. With this, it has become the 13th Hollywood release to cross the $60 million milestone in the post-pandemic era and is currently running in its 6th week.
The Cillian Murphy starrer was a commercial success in China and ended its run at $61.62 million, as per Box Office Mojo. If compared with Aquaman 2, the difference is just approximately $1 million, and this would be easily covered in the next few days.
