Warner Bros.' "Aquaman" debuted in China over the weekend two weeks before it premieres in the US, and made $94 million. It was the highest-grossing movie in the world for the weekend, despite only opening in China, and already surpassed the entire gross of "Wonder Woman" there. It reinforces how important international box office has become for Hollywood movies, especially China, which is expected to surpass the US as the world's biggest theatrical market in the next five years. The movie's Chinese debut set the bar high for its domestic opening, as it grossed $94 million to be the weekend's biggest movie in the world, and the biggest opening for Warner Bros. ever in China.
