Aquaman has begun it’s global roll out by opening in China on Thursday night. With all eyes on how the film performs we’re already seeing box office new coming out.

The movie has opened to $1.19M in Thursday night previews. The best DC Films opening since Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. That film opened to $1.3M in previews in 2016.

$1.19M puts Aquaman on course for a $17.5M opening day and an opening weekend around $52M. By comparison Justice League opened with $1.1M in previews around the same time last year.

From Warner Bros.

The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be… a king.

Aquaman stars Jason Momoa in the title role of Arthur Curry/Aquaman. The film also stars Amber Heard as Mera; Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe as Vulko; Temuera Morrison as Tom Curry; Dolph Lundgren as Nereus; Yahya Abdul-Mateen II  as Black Manta; with Patrick Wilson as Orm/Ocean Master; and Oscar winner Nicole Kidman as Atlanna.

The film is being produced by Peter Safran, with Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder, Rob Cowan, Jon Berg and Geoff Johns serving as executive producers.
