Aquaman has broken another record in China by surpassing Captain America: Civil War‘s ten-day gross.
Aquaman has broken many records in China so far. When it debuted on December 7th, it quickly became the highest opening weekend for a December release in China, as well as the highest opening for a DC film. After being in theaters for ten days in China, Aquaman has broken yet another record, Captain America: Civil War’s.
In 2016, Captain America: Civil War was able to earn $155.8 million in China over the course of its first ten days of release. DC’s latest solo adventure has surpassed that record with an impressive haul of $189.2 million.
