China's box office was the scene of disappointment, as Warner Bros.' 'Wonder Woman 1984' got trounced by local action flick 'The Rescue,' but both films finished the weekend far below expectations. Full details:

Wonder Woman 1984, directed by Dante Lam, opened to $36.3 million, nearly double's meagre $18.8 million start, according to data from Artisan Gateway. Both films finished the weekend far below expectations though, as audience disappointment in the movies and a sudden cold snap across much of China weighed on the country's theatrical market recovery. A few small-scale clusters of COVID-19 also have kept consumers in several cities indoors in recent days.

It was abundantly clear, however, that filmgoers mostly just weren't particularly enthused about either of the new releases.scored just 7.8/10 from Alibaba's ticketing app Taopiaopiao and 7.9 from rival service Maoyan, where some users griped that the film had too much romantic drama and not enough action .scored 9.1 and 9.

The weekend before Christmas is usually a solid earnings window in China. Total box office for the frame this year was just $71.5 million, a slip of over 34 percent compared to the same period a year ago.
