Godzilla is the King of the Chinese box office as the Legendary Pictures/Warner Bros. feature had the biggest opening day of 2014 in China.

According to the International Business Times:

“Godzilla” has already made short work of the American box office, and now the monster is crushing China’s as well. Legendary Pictures’ reboot of the classic monster movie opened in China on Friday with a $10.9 million debut, the country’s biggest opening day of the year and Warner Bros.’ biggest-ever opening in China, Deadline reports. 

“Godzilla” and its massive Chinese opening were boosted by a big push into theaters. The film opened on nearly half of China’s 18,195 screens. With that many screens in play, it’s not hard to see why “Godzilla” rocked the box office.

The remaining country for Godzilla to open in is its home country of Japan. Godzilla opens July 25 in Japan.
