NEW YORK -- "Eternals," one of Marvel's most ambitious efforts to expand its superhero universe, arrived in theaters with about US$71 million in ticket sales over the weekend, according to studio estimates.
But from the start, "Eternals" was a less charted direction for Marvel. By enlisting Zhao, whose "Nomadland" earlier this year won best picture and best director at the Academy Awards, the comic-book factory tapped a lauded filmmaker more associated with arthouse realism than computer-generated spectacle. The story, too, introduces a lesser-known alien class of superheroes, whose existence spans all of human history.
"Eternals," which cost about $200 million to produce, opened strongly overseas, grossing $90.7 million in 46 international territories. The film, however, didn't open in China and isn't expected to be granted a release in the future despite being directed by a China-born filmmaker. The previous Marvel release, "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," the studio's first Asian superhero movie, also hasn't received permission to open in China.
