“Captain America: Civil War” destroyed the competition in a huge opening at the Chinese box office. Opening on Friday May 6 with a $27.7 million (RMB180 million) score that was the sixth biggest in Chinese history, the film hit full power on Saturday May 7 when it scored $37.8 million, the seventh highest single day in China. It completed its three-day debut weekend with $95.1 million. Including previews, that put “Civil War” on a cumulative score of $97 million.

That means it has already overtaken the disappointing $95.7 million run of “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” from earlier this year. And it will only be a matter of one or two days before it overtakes the final cumulative score of $116 million achieved by “Captain America: Winter Soldier” in 2014. “Avengers: Age of Ultron” achieved $241 million last year. Forecasts that Disney will enjoy successive RMB1 billion ($154 million) scores at the Chinese box office (after “Zootopia”, and “Jungle Book”) now also seem to be on more certain ground. The studio already has three of the four biggest Hollywood films this year in China.
