Aquaman appears to have made a good impression overseas, as China has granted the James Wan-directed film an extension for its theatrical release.

According to Variety, the movie will now remain in theaters until February 6, which falls on the second day of the Chinese New Year. Foreign revenue sharing films are typically given a 30-day release window by China's industry regulators. However, some films are granted an additional 30-day extension, an exception made only for movies performing extremely well at the box office.

The latest DC Extended Universe film opened in China on December 7 and, as of yesterday, has earned $246 million in the country, which totals to more than 40% of its global total. With $105 million accumulated in North America so far, the film has already surpassed $500 million globally in its brief theatrical run and is estimated to hit $1 billion at the worldwide box office.

Aquaman is the second comic book film to be granted an extended theatrical run in China this year. Sony’s Venom earned $263.6 million in China alone during its original release window and would become an unexpected box office success with $854.5 million earned.

Directed by James Wan, Aquaman stars Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Amber Heard as Mera, Patrick Wilson as Orm, Willem Dafoe as Nuidis Vulko, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, Temuera Morrison as Thomas Curry, Dolph Lundgren as Nereus and Nicole Kidman as Queen Atlanna. The film is now in theaters nationwide.
