'Batman V Superman' Box Office: 'Dawn Of Justice' Tops $200M Worldwide

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opened in seventeen international territories on Friday, including China, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Zack Snyder’s superhero sequel earned $67.2 million total from over 30,000 screens. Counting China’s second day gross of $22.6m, that gives the film an overseas cume of $137.9m. When you add in the $82.01m American debut on Friday, the film’s worldwide total is at a whopping $219.91m since Wednesday.
As noted elsewhere, the film opened in China with $21.22 million, which was the sixth biggest opening day for a Hollywood movie in said territory. The film went up just a touch to $22.6m on Saturday for a $43m two-day cume. It notched the biggest opening day of the year in the United Kingdom, earning $9m on 1,700 screens.
The other big key openers were India, Japan, and Taiwan. It notched the biggest Warner Bros./Time Warner Inc. opening day of all time in India with $2.54 million on 1,372 screens. It opened with $1.2m in Japan on 718 screens, opening 73% higher than Man of Steel and 54% higher than The Dark Knight Rises. And it earned $905k in Taiwan.
In holdover territories, it made another $4.3 million in Mexico  for a $9.6m market cume. The film earned another $3m in Australia for a $7.4m cume there while fending off a World Cup national qualifier soccer match in Brazil to snag another $3m for a $6.6m cume. It earned $2.4m on 1,015 screens in Germany for a $5.1m cume.
The Ben Affleck/Henry Cavill/Gal Gadot picture earned $1.7 million in Korea on Friday for a $3.4m cume while it earned another $1.6m in Russia for a $3.6m cume. It has made $4.2m in Spain, $3.9m in France, $2.4m in Hong Kong, and $3m in Italy. There is no word on Israel yet, but I am curious since this film’s Wonder Woman is played by an Israeli actress.
