According to Box Office Mojo the film made $46 million on its opening day in the country, which absolutely shattered any previous box office record.
The opening day record breaking has signaled that the film will pull in massive money over the 5 day launch, which could easily help make up for the potential lack of U.S. box office.
Warcraft also set an opening day IMAX record, posting $5.3 million total for the large screen format, which bested Furious 7’s $4.7 million from last year.
Prior to Warcraft, the most a film had made opening on a non-weekend day in China was Avengers: Age of Ultron with $28 million last year.
