Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* crushed the industry’s projection with its opening weekend collection at the box office in North America. However, the film opened with underwhelming numbers at the box office in China. The MCU feature dropped out of the top 5 in the mainland, failing to create much impact upon its release. Scroll below for the deets.
Critics said bringing together a scrappy team of underdogs with Florence Pugh as the captivating standout offers a refreshing return to the classic formula that defines the MCU’s most beloved adventures. The film also featured one of the longest end credits in the MCU, and it connected to Avengers: Doomsday by showing the Fantastic Four spaceship.
According to Luiz Fenando‘s report, Thunderbolts* collected $5.6 million over the three-day weekend, registering the lowest ever for any major comic book movie in China. It raked in $10.4 million only on its 5-day opening and came in #6 on Sunday, collecting $1.5 million only. The MCU movie witnessed a drop of 16.7% only on Sunday from Saturday across 34K screenings. The film has also registered $155K in pre-sales for the Monday holiday and will be playing the same number of screenings. Ne Zha 2 is still running in China and is earning better than other films, including this one.
