Warcraft Gets Strong $46 Million Box Office Opening in China

While Warcraft is expected to flop at the U.S. box office, Duncan Jones' adaptation of Blizzard's popular MMORPG franchise is breaking records in China. Warcraft's opening day grossed $46 million in sales, which smashed the previous highest opening day record in China, formerly held by Avengers: Age of Ultron with $28.3 million, Variety reports.

That's still a long way to go for the $160 million budget film to significantly profit, and if it does well, we'll most likely see more sequels as Duncan Jones already discussed plans for a trilogy. The film raked $20 million in China pre-sales, so that must have played a huge part in smashing records.

Warcraft opens in U.S. theaters on June 10, 2016.
