‘Justice League’ Opens with $185 Million Internationally
With all the focus on Justice League’s $96 million domestic opening weekend, it was lost in the news that the film had a $185 million international opening. A big chunk of that came from China where it made $51.7 million.
The movie was first in 10 other Asian markets, making $41 million.
So far Justice League’s worldwide box office stands at $281 million. With a rumored production budget of $250 million, Warner Bros. was hoping for larger international numbers to compensate.
