The latest MCU release, Thunderbolts*, seems to have connected with the audience as it is basking in the glory of excellent ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. The film has, however, debuted in a less favorable place at the box office in China, but still, a decent opening weekend is in the cards. Keep scrolling for more.
The movie is unlike other MCU movies; there are no superheroes in it, but rather, it is a bunch of anti-heroes who somehow end up saving the day. The story is quite basic if we think about it, but the execution won hearts. It has also showcased some great visuals, and the cinematography is also top-notch. The actors are the film’s heart as they have all made the audience fall in love with them by the end. The camaraderie between Yelena, John Walker, Ghost, Red Guardian, and Bucky is quite entertaining, along with Lewis Pullman as Bob, who has also done a commendable job.
Now, according to Luiz Fernando‘s report, Thunderbolts* came in 4th in the box office chart in China. It collected $2.3 million on Friday, which is similar to what it earned on Thursday, Labor Day Holiday, and when it debuted there. The movie played over 49K screenings on Friday and reached $7.1 million in three days at the Chinese box office. It seems Ne Zha 2 is still wreaking havoc in the region, as it regained the top spot last weekend. It might be staying at the top this weekend, too.
